Rand Paul (R-Ky.) warned that President Trump calling Democratic lawmakers “traitors” is “reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible” “But if you take it at face value, the idea that calling your opponents traitors — and then specifically saying that it warrants the death penalty — is reckless, inappropriate, irresponsible.” “It’s not something that is helping the country heal wounds.

The president vented his fury after the Democrats posted the video in which they urged members of the military to refuse unlawful orders. “It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. Each one of these...

As millions of American families prepare to gather for Thanksgiving, they’re seeing a dose of the economic relief President Donald J. Trump is fighting to deliver. After inheriting the worst inflation crisis in 40 years from Joe Biden and Democrats, the Trump Administration’s actions to unleash American energy, slash regulations, and crush inflation are translating into lower gas prices in many states and a decrease in the cost of Thanksgiving dinner.Make no mistake: this is not “mission accomplished.” Americans are still paying far too much after four years of reckless Democrat spending and regulation — and that’s why the Trump...

Donald Trump wants a peace deal in Ukraine very badly. Kyiv wants peace even more, just not at any cost. That's why when the US began pushing it to agree to a deal by Thanksgiving on what looked close to surrender terms, Ukraine pushed back. It scrambled senior officials to talks in Geneva and all of Sunday we saw delegates from the US and Ukraine shuttling back and forth between the two main venues in black limousines with darkened windows. They were joined by national security advisers from Germany, France and the UK. The only time I glimpsed Andriy Yermak,...

The pressure building on Ukraine is not just diplomatic. While President Donald Trump pushes for a quick resolution, the churning mud of the battlefield has produced only slow and painstaking gains for the Kremlin during the four years since its full-scale invasion. From the front-line city of Pokrovsk in eastern Donetsk to Zaporizhzhia in the south and the northern region of Kharkiv, there is little doubt that Russia is making advances. ...But battlefield monitors suggest the picture is not quite so bleak for Ukraine as Trump and Putin suggest. Russia's gains are slow and incremental, won at a heavy cost...

You can tell a lot about someone’s feelings about the current political scene based on their visceral reaction to the scenes coming out of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s funeral. To some, Cheney’s Friday memorial service at the National Cathedral hearkened back to a time of civility and bipartisan unity that preceded today’s intense political division. Others saw it as a reminder of the chumminess and clubiness of the swamp, which President Donald Trump was sent to drain.While the bitterly contested 2000 presidential election may have helped kick off this era of polarization, both Cheney and former President George W....
