Barone: The surge of populism — and nationalism
"Populist politicians and parties," writes the Ethics and Public Policy Center's Henry Olsen in The Spectator, are "rapidly gaining strength and power across the developed world." They're doing so despite the opposition and angry scorn of political and intellectual establishments of Left and ...
Guest opinion: New plant classifications
How? How have I failed to grow zucchini? ANYONE in Utah can (and does) grow zucchini. My mother, looking down at me from heaven, is shaking her head and wondering where she went wrong. I can feel her disapproval from here. Somehow this must be my fault. I know any number of successful ...
Napolitano: His own worst enemy, again
On "Meet the Press" last week, former President Donald Trump made a compelling case highlighting the differences between his years in office and President Joe Biden's. He also substantially and irretrievably undercut his principal defense in the four criminal cases in which he is a ...

Harrop: What about Gina Raimondo?
As Joe Biden runs for a second term, we'll be hearing more questions about his age-related cognitive abilities. So far, he's doing just fine. And never mind that his likely Republican opponent, Donald Trump, gave speeches last weekend confusing the current president with Barack Obama and ...
Stiehm: Two strikes and an out: A tale of three towns
Summer's lease has all too short a date, wrote Shakespeare, but he was wrong. Thank goodness it's gone. 2023 delivered the summer of our discontent. It's striking that three company towns, Hollywood, Detroit and now Washington, D.C., are just about shut down. The job is not getting done in ...
