Stossel: Fighting woke

People hate Chris Rufo. "Your agenda to turn our campus into a space of extremist indoctrination is harming our enrollment!" shouts a student at Florida's New College. "You are the problem!" "I'm not the problem," Rufo tells me in my newest video. "I'm actually the solution." Florida Gov. ...

Stiehm: The best of the worst — Republicans for president

As Donald Trump grimly faces the first federal criminal indictment ever handed down to a president, let's consider his competition in the Republican primary. My father challenged me to pick "the best of the worst" in the wide field of Republican men — and a woman, former Gov. Nikki Haley — ...

Erickson: The field fills in

With the entries of North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Vice President Mike Pence, the 2024 GOP field is suddenly filled in and formed. While there are rumors of other entrants, the GOP appears set to avoid a rerun of 2016 with 17 candidates. 2016 ...

Barone: Sununu’s good move and bad advice

Gov. Chris Sununu (R-N.H.) is not running for president. In his state's first-in-the-nation primary, "I can be more effective for the Republican Party in ways few other leaders can," he wrote in the Washington Post. He plans to endorse a candidate and obviously hopes to defeat former President ...

Charen: Is the GOP tiptoeing toward normality?

Every morning, before we open our eyes, every one of us must grapple with the excruciating possibility that Donald Trump could be reelected. It's the nightmare from which we cannot awake, at least for now. And yet, something is stirring in the Republican Party. After eight vertiginous years of ...

Napolitano: State secrets undermine due process

The buzzer cuts off the courtroom's public address system, and then ...

Harrop: Anatomy of an insanity

With her wild hair, peekaboo sweater and extraordinary claim that then-presidential candidate Joe Biden had sexually assaulted her, Tara Reade merited considerable skepticism. Any such accusation deserved a hearing, of course, but Reade was an obvious nutjob and Putin shill. Why did she have to ...

De Rugy: What to make of new projections of big government savings

We have a debt-ceiling deal. It's a relief for most people. This deal avoids a default and the need for the Department of the Treasury to make hard choices over which bills to pay. It gives Republicans the sense that a step was taken toward fiscal responsibility and gives Democrats the sense ...

Stiehm: The June rise (and fall) of Joe Biden

WASHINGTON — The president just had a rise over congressional Republicans in the debt ceiling crisis and a fall at the Air Force Academy — one big deal and a small one. The fall: much ado about nothing. The fault was not his. Blame it on military efficiency, as President John F. Kennedy ...

Stossel: Socialism versus nature

"Greed of the fossil fuel industry" is "destroying our planet," says Sen. Bernie Sanders. Young people agree. Their solution? Socialism. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says socialism creates "an environment that provides for all people, not just the privileged few." "Nonsense," says Tom ...
