In both the Nikolas Cruz (Parkland) and Travis Reinking (Waffle House) shootings, the ready explanation is that the authorities “dropped the ball.” Well James Shaw, the man who stopped Reinking, picked up the ball and pushed back hard. Mr. Shaw ran toward shooter Travis Reinking out of an instinct for self-protection. “I acted in a […]
A New Low for Unsportsmanlike Conduct
If the allegations against retired Rear Admiral Ronnie Jackson are true–after federal background checks, White House personnel management and bipartisan presidential judgment–then this country has far bigger problems than Dr. Jackson, suggests the WSJ. Montana Democrat Sen. Jon Tester, who created and distributed a potpourri of unverified smears against the White House physician, is “setting […]
Trump Forces a Korea Breakthrough
After decades of stalemate, North and South Korea seem closer to declaring an end to the stalled Korean War than ever before. Without the prodding of President Donald Trump, and his openness to direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, it seems unlikely that this would be the situation. Trump has proven that he […]
Jon Basil Utley on Unnecessary Middle East Interventions
Writing at The American Conservative, my friend Jon Basil Utley, the magazine’s publisher, explains to readers the unreliable intelligence that has gotten America into overseas quagmires, and the unintended consequences those wars have wrought. He writes (abridged): Official Washington and those associated with it have misrepresented the facts numerous times in the service of military […]
Rand Paul Disappointing on Pompeo Confirmation Reversal
Where is the evidence that Mike Pompeo agrees with even Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Syria and Afghanistan? And has not Pompeo called for an open-ended troop presence in Afghanistan, as well as greater U.S. involvement in Syria and for that matter the Greater Middle East.?

Macron: France wants to work on ‘new deal’ on Iran
Chris Preble: Empower Mature, Like-Minded States
Chris Preble, my friend and Cato Institute’s vice president for defense and foreign policy studies, suggest America rely more on its “mature, like-minded,” allies to help solve local problems. This is undoubtedly preferable to the forever-war policy that has been employed over the last decade and a half. Chris writes in The New York Times (abridged): […]
Trump Could “Astonish the World”
At The American Conservative, Pat Buchanan writes that President Trump could astonish the world and even win the Nobel Peace Prize if he were to get North Korea to sign the same deal Iran did regarding nuclear weapons.
