Comey’s firing isn’t like the ‘Saturday Night Massacre.’ It’s pretty straightforward.
Long ago and far away, when I was a young special assistant first to Attorney General William French Smith and then to Attorney General Edwin Meese, the young staff would automatically stand up whenever William Webster, then head of the FBI, walked into a room. At Friday morning roundtable briefings in the attorney general’s massive conference room, when...

From Johnny Carson to Stephen Colbert
In a monologue considered witty by teenagers, teenagers in adult bodies and those who hate President Trump, CBS “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said about President Trump, “The only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s c*** holster,” and “You’re turning into a real prick-tator.”
Witty?

Jerusalem’s Anniversary: Time to Face the Truth
This June marks the 50th anniversary of the re-unification of Jerusalem following Israel’s victory in the Six Day War.
Many Americans mistakenly believe that only then, in 1967, did Jerusalem become Israel’s capital with a clear Jewish majority. But Jerusalem has always been the seat of Israel’s parliament; two-thirds of the city’s...

Will the Second Civil War Turn Violent?
In a recent column, I made the case that Americans are fighting the Second Civil War. The deep chasm that has opened up between the left — not liberals, the left — and the rest of the country is so wide and so unbridgeable that there is no other way to describe what is happening. But I noted that at least thus far, unlike the First Civil War, this...

France and the Collapse of the Left
French voters won’t pick a new president until May 7th but the first round of balloting highlights an important international trend, the dramatic decline of the left:
