In rebuttal: Margaret Meyer: Surprised by Trump’s continued supporters

I cannot believe Terence McManus’s letter where it appears he continues to support Donald Trump (“Trump supporters bear ‘august list’ of titles,” Aug. 20). I really am at a loss how anyone can still support a man who called upon his supporters to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, refused to take immediate action when […]

Patricia Fogg: American people must decide between autocracy, democracy

Who is Victor Orban? He is the autocratic, self-elected, “forever” leader of Hungary, and a guest speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference held Aug. 4-7 in Dallas, Texas.

Rich Lowry: No, Liz Cheney isn’t Abraham Lincoln

Although he had firm principles, Lincoln was always a political pragmatist and fundamentally a party man willing to maneuver as necessary.

Many countries actually require that these surplus embryos be destroyed after a certain period.

Terence McManus: Trump supporters bear ‘august list’ of titles

When I voted for Donald Trump I proudly joined the ranks of those whom Hillary Clinton derided as “the deplorables.” When I passed 75 summers I officially became an old coot, and with those two titles I thought that that was as high as I could rise. I was mistaken — I am just one […]

Froma Harrop: The credit for electric cars is unusually well crafted

It isn’t true that the new subsidies for buying electric vehicles will only benefit the rich. Even if it were, I wouldn’t care.
