George Will, a conservative columnist for The Washington Post, went after House Republicans who recently voted against more aid to Ukraine in a Wednesday opinion piece in the Post. In the opinion, highlighted by Mediaite, Will said the 112 Republicans House Republicans who voted against Ukraine aid “voted last Saturday to endanger civilization,” calling them “ignoble.” “Hoping to enhance their political security in their mostly safe seats, and for the infantile satisfaction of populist naughtiness (insulting a mostly fictitious ‘establishment’), they voted to assure [Russian President Vladimir Putin’s] attempt to erase a European nation,” Will wrote in his column. Opponents...

In the Post, George Will predicts that neither Donald Trump nor Ron DeSantis will be the Republican presidential nominee in 2024. Inter alia, Will bases this on what he considers to be voters’ inevitable “rebellion against inevitability”: Voters, however, become contrary when told that the game’s outcome is known in the top of the first inning. Hence what G.K. Chesterton called the game of “Cheat the Prophet”: People listen politely to explanations of what is inevitable, then make something else happen. As a rule, there’s a lot to this. Americans did not like being told in 2007 that the next...

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) “clearly has thought about the challenges of a third party presidential bid” and could launch one at the end of this year, Washington Post columnist George Will wrote Friday. The two-term incumbent faces a tough reelection bid — if he decides such an avenue — in deep red West Virginia. He would likely face well-liked Gov. Jim Justice (R-WV), who announced his candidacy last month and led Manchin by 14 points in a recent poll, or five-term Rep Alex Mooney (R-WV).

A lack of so-called ‘scientific evidence’ in the existence of the personal God Who spoke is not the true reason why godless Westerners reject belief in Him. Their rejection is due to a desire to live free of the moral constraints God requires. (Psalm 14:1):

A former attorney for Donald Trump condemned a decision by an appeals court to allow the Justice Department to continue examining classified materials seized during the Mar-a-Lago raid in August, alleging court documents contained a “huge revelation” which backed up Trump’s case. According to CNN, Wednesday’s unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel on the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a trial judge who had blocked federal investigators from continuing to examine documents marked as classified. Two of the judges on the panel had been nominated by Trump. Subscribe Log In Equipping Readers with The Truth Sunday, September 25,...

Laffoon, who is 20, wrote Heche’s personal property and annual income were “unknown.” The “Six Days Seven Nights” actress died as the result of a car crash that occurred Aug. 5 in Los Angeles.

Longtime Washington Post columnist George Will says the Constitution should be amended to bar senators from running for president, specifically pointing to Sen. Josh Hawley. “The 328 senators of the previous 50 years have illustrated the tyranny of the bell-shaped curve: a few of them dreadful, a few excellent, most mediocre,” Will wrote in the Post on Wednesday. “Although Josh Hawley, Missouri’s freshman Republican, might not be worse than all the other 327, he exemplifies the worst about would-be presidents incubated in the Senate.”

Will Smith is facing a 10-year ban from events held by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for slapping Chris Rock during the Academy Awards in March. But the reaction to the decision was met with mixed results, ranging from disbelief to accusations of racism. While the "King Richard" star has repeatedly apologized and accepted the academy's decision, the organization contended that its ban was "a step toward a larger goal of protecting the safety of our performers and guests, and restoring trust in the academy." Some critics characterized the academy's ruling against the "Fresh Prince" veteran as...

MSNBC political commentator and author George Will said Wednesday on “The Beat” that the Republican base needed to be quarantined because they were “addicted to furiousness.” Melber said, “What has happened to this moderate Republican Party?”Will said, “Well, it’s one thing to be for limited government. It’s one thing to be as the founders were, for a government of limited delegated and enumerated powers. This, however, is beyond politics. This is clinical psychology we have to consult.

MSNBC political commentator and author George Will said Friday on “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that former president Donald Trump demonstrated how rapidly one man with a “lack of conscience” can change the entire tone of public life for the worse. Mitchell said, “In your new book, you write that it has been well said that the United States is the only nation founded on a good idea, the proposition that people should be free to pursue happiness as they define it. In recent years, however, happiness has been elusive for this nation in which too many people think and act as...

The Duke of Edinburgh's will is to remain secret for at least 90 years to protect the "dignity and standing" of the Queen, the High Court has ruled. It has been convention for over a century that, after the death of a senior member of the Royal Family, the courts are asked to seal their wills. It means that, unlike most wills granted probate, it will not be open to public inspection. There will be a private process in 90 years to decide if it can be unsealed. The hearing into the application to seal the will was also held...

Responding to the deaths of 13 service members and the wounding of 18 others in Afghanistan, President Biden stated the obvious: “Been a tough day.” Eight months into his presidency, these are tough days. Our withdrawal from Afghanistan is “messy,” as Biden has ruefully acknowledged. COVID-19 is filling up hospital beds and intensive care units. The Supreme Court has reversed Biden executive orders on immigration and rent relief. Biden’s honeymoon, such as it was, is over. Low polling numbers often show how many people stick with you through good times and bad. Back in 1992, Bill Clinton was beset by...

McCarthy appeared on Fox News on Friday evening and defended Pence after he was heckled by the crowd at the 'Road to Majority'-themed event. 'It is great to be back with so many patriots. Dedicated to faith and freedom and the road to the majority,' Pence had said. As he began thanking Ralph Reed, the head of the Faith & Freedom coalition, he was met with boos and people loudly...

Washington Post columnist George Will said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” roundtable that Republican lawmakers would not investigate the Capitol riot on January 6 because of the “terror it feels for its own voters.”

Jury selection in the trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin, who is charged with murder in the death of George Floyd, was postponed until Tuesday after prosecutors expressed concerns about a contested Minnesota Court of Appeals ruling that impacts his case. "Unless the Court of Appeals tells me otherwise, we're going to keep going," Cahill said before court adjourned

Just a question for Democrat voters. To all those who serve the progressive agenda or whatever you call that declares free from the government. It is becoming difficult to keep up with all that you feel entitled to so I have a suggestion that will add clarity. Create a list of what you expect the citizens to provide for their welfare. Your well-meaning agenda can then concentrate on all the things the citizens cannot do for themselves. Neither your agenda nor the citizen will have to provide the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness already provided by...

Enter the nasty lot that make up the effete-Right. Ostensibly, this lot stands for the “principles” that President Trump lacks. No one outside of their allies at CNN or their own circle believes that but, so far as they are concerned, that’s all that matters. As a group, they are exemplified by the uniformly anti-Trump publication, The Bulwark. As for specific individuals, a few names come to mind; yet with his recent endorsement of Joe Biden for president, Washington Post columnist and NBC News commentator George Will is an exemplar. Will retreated from the GOP in June 2016, incensed at...
