  • This poll number might be the worst one yet for President Trump

    This poll number might be the worst one yet for President Trump
    Throughout the 2016 campaign, there was one mainstay when it came to reasons to vote for Donald Trump: Change. Even as people questioned his temperament and experience and policies, they believed he would change Washington. It was his central appeal, according to exit polls. No longer.

  • Why avoiding the Girl Scouts is a 'sane, balanced' move

    Why avoiding the Girl Scouts is a 'sane, balanced' move
    Archbishop Joseph Naumann of Kansas City in Kansas is getting pilloried by the expected sources on his decision to transition the diocese away from the Girl Scouts, and toward American Heritage Girls. This reaction is one with the recent inanities of Berkeley’s caving in to threats of violence against unpopular speakers, or DNC Chairman Tom Perez’s hurling anathemas at pro-life Democrats.  It’s hysterical and unmeasured. It’s abortion-centric, and blind to basic freedoms enjoyed by every America..

  • Trump is learning — and sometimes mislearning — the lessons of the presidency

    Trump is learning — and sometimes mislearning — the lessons of the presidency
    As Howard J. Kittell gave President Trump a tour of former president Andrew Jackson’s Hermitage plantation in Nashville a couple of months ago, the two discussed the seventh president’s military career, his controversial marriage, his image as a “tough, go-get-’em kind of guy” and his determination to keep the young country unified. The Civil War never came up. So on Monday, as Kittell checked his phone while stopped at a red light on the way to work, he was surprised to read that Trump had w..
