Trump is wartime president. What's his plan to win the war?

We'll give the president this much: Even after making major announcements about U.S. forces in Syria, no one really knows what he will do there in the coming year. In terms of keeping the enemy off-balance, we can support the president. After all, one way to win a military campaign is to keep the other side guessing.

Thimbleful of optimism for 2019

At the end of last year of political trauma and conflict, I found myself feeling an unexpected sense of hope, sitting in Mumbai, where I could see the Arabian Sea stretching westward toward the Gulf of Aden and Africa, as well as the vast Indian subcontinent extending eastward to the Bay of Bengal and the lands beyond.

Will Supreme Court end gerrymandering? Or protect it?

When North Carolina's Republican legislative leaders have seen their work struck down in court as unconstitutional - as they have many times - they have frequently responded by attacking the judge or judges as partisan hacks.

America's China hawks, anti-mainland Hongkongers and Putin calendar

Every year about this time, a late, great American columnist would knock out his “People I'm Not Talking to This Year.” It was a get-even roll call of big-time baddies and political popinjays - a crabby crusade whose charm pleased readers and deterred nervous, gimlet-eyed newspaper editors from spiking what eventually came to flourish as a tradition.

China's malign secrecy

Secrets may be among the most valuable assets that governments have: the Trojan Horse, the Enigma code, the Manhattan Project, and surprise attacks such as Pearl Harbor, the Six-Day War, and the Yom Kippur War are just a few of the best-known examples.

Senate's first order of business: Remove roadblock to independent investigation into egregious Acosta/Epstein plea deal

The questionable actions of Miami's former U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta in gifting a sweetheart federal plea deal to a Palm Beach multimillionaire and serial sexual predator have rightly come under fire. They should also come under federal investigation, as we recommended in a recent editorial.

Hard Brexit truths

The March 29, 2019, deadline for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union is fast approaching, yet it remains far from clear how the departure is actually going to play out. Decision time will soon be unavoidable. This means that after two and a half years of drift and fulmination, it is time for those on all sides of the Brexit debate in the U.K. to start being honest.

Need for Fox News in a time of chaos

Some of you readers almost surely hate Fox News. But you know something? It isn't really so bad. It counterbalances the anti-Trump, leftist, overreaching, sometimes hysterical bias afflicting too much of what too many of its TV competitors offer.
