What Comey Deserved
It’s easy to argue that James Comey deserved to be fired, but the FBI Director didn’t deserve to be terminated in the clumsy, abrupt way that he was.

Divisions Didn’t Begin With Trump
Looking back on President Trump’s opening months in office, not even the most determined detractors can rightly blame him for dividing the country, since the nation was already deeply divided before he came to office.
Barack Obama lost control of Congress to the opposition party, barely winning 51 percent in his re-election bid. George W. Bush also won...
