This almost sounds like a joke: A college president and a ‘public’ news organization walk into a bar to complain about their common enemy. At least one of them decided to be somewhat honest about it, but only somewhat. Alan Garber, president of a beleaguered Harvard University, sat down with Steve Inskeep of an equally...

Donald Trump began his presidency with the shortest of honeymoons.  To give you an idea of just how set people’s opinion of Trump really is, a “honeymoon” for him is an evenly divided country. He inched into positive territory on some polls, and given pollsters’ history of getting Trump’s support wrong, it’s not unfair to...

It’s a neat trick, if you can get away with it.  Punish, censor, debank, demonetize, slander, impose damaging and arbitrary rules that ruin lives and cause immeasurable harm.

But the causes were “distinctly different,”...

Last week we learned that Elias Rodriguez, the man who murdered two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, had left behind a manifesto in which he justified the use of violence. Here’s a bit of it. The impunity that representatives of our government feel at abetting this slaughter should be revealed as an illusion, then…...
