As President Trump’s war on Iran enters its third week, here are five points about Tehran’s predictable—and predicted—closure of the Strait of Hormuz: 1. The Wall Street Journal reported that “Trump knew the risk of Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He still went to war.” The President brushed off the warning from Joint Chiefs […]

Tragic and horrifying accidents happen in the fog of war. Over the past 30 years, the United States has often offered apologies or even cash to the innocent civilian victims of its military strikes gone wrong. Washington expressed regret and paid compensation during the 1999 Kosovo campaign, after the controversial 2001 collision between an American […]

President Trump on Monday seemed shocked—shocked!—at the rapidly growing economic fallout from his war on Iran. U.S. gasoline prices spiked and markets wobbled as  Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE and Iraq announced steeps cut backs on oil and natural gas production. With the Straits of Hormuz effectively closed, France dispatched warships to the region […]

Few tears will be shed if the brutal regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran is consigned to the dustbin of history.

When Donald Trump addressed an unprecedented gathering of America’s military leadership on Tuesday, he was making his most fervent supporters darkest fears come true. Promising to deploy American troops to cities around the nation in order to “straighten them out one by one,” Trump urged the assembled generals and admirals to use those locations as […]

If the shocking news that President Trump fired U.S. Attorney for Eastern Virginia Erik Siebert sounds oddly familiar, it should. As you may recall, in 2006 and 2007, the Bush administration engaged in a political purge of 9 U.S. prosecutors which a 2008 DOJ Inspector General’s report labeled “arbitrary and “fundamentally flawed.” But as it […]

In the aftermath of the horrifying murder of Charlie Kirk, my social media feeds have been filled with video clips of the slain activist’s past speeches and appearances. I found one—a testimony of his Christian faith--doubly powerful. Powerful first because Kirk spoke so passionately about his belief in the gift of God’s grace. Kirk’s words […]

Just six weeks after firing the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) over a disappointing monthly employment report, President Donald Trump learned the American job market is even weaker than he thought.
