The last one, held in April, looked like a victory for Netanyahu and his right-wing Likud party. But when Netanyahu failed to get enough support from smaller parties to form a government, he was forced to call new elections. So here we are. The polling for the new election is too close to call.

The ultimate outcome depends on a lot of things that are really hard to predict, ranging from minor party vote share to post-election parliamentary haggling.

In case you haven’t fully gotten the message, African-American Democrats are really angry with any African-American Republican that embraces President Trump.

In their first head-to-head encounter in what is shaping up to be an ugly race, the two candidates for Kentucky’s attorney general used their Fancy Farm political speeches Saturday to add more accusations and insults to it. Republican Daniel Cameron, a Louisville attorney who was making his first speech at the annual political picnic in Graves County that kicks off the fall’s campaign season, said his Democratic challenger, former attorney general and House speaker Greg Stumbo of Floyd County, represents the “old, Frankfort liberal guard.” He said Stumbo, who turns 68 Aug. 14, is like milk in a refrigerator for...
