American Nationalists Are Awfully Quiet about Russia
I’m confused. These days, “nationalism” is all the rage on the right. I put it in quotes because there are a lot of different ideas of what nationalism means. Some of it is just rah-rah “U.S.A. No. 1” ... -
The Myth of America’s ‘Crumbling’ Infrastructure
It’s Infrastructure Week (again), and who among us can contain his excitement? The president, for one. According to reports, President Trump wanted to announce the biggest investment in public works since President Eisenhower unveiled the interstate highway system. But ... -
Is Higher Education Worth It?

The Vatican Cedes Authority to the All-Knowing Chinese State
‘Vita est lavorum.” That’s Latin for “Life is a job.” I didn’t learn that in school or even from a book. I learned that from Father Guido Sarducci. For younger readers, that name may draw a blank. Father ... -
The Cloverfield Paradox
During the Super Bowl, Netflix ran a really enticing ad for The Cloverfield Paradox, the third, er, film in what you might call the “Cloverfield” franchise. Before I go on to say anything else, I need to warn you here ... -
Hillary Brought This on Herself

Republicans Had Better Hope the Memo Lives Up to the Hype
Jonathan Swan has an interesting report on how some in the White House are worried the memo will turn out to be a dud. As I wrote yesterday, I’ve long suspected the steak won’t live up to the ... -
Seeing Through the Fog of Outrage Surrounding the Mueller Probe
Washington is awash in so much muchness these days it’s hard to follow the story. And that may be the point. Every new development or revelation is a “blockbuster” and smoking-gun proof that “this is bigger than Watergate.” Every ... -
A Few Thoughts on #ReleaseTheMemo
Let me say upfront that I’m inclined to think this whole thing has been more of a cynical P.R. stunt — and an impressive one at that — than a serious exercise on the merits. That is not to say ... -

Let's Wait and See about the FBI 'Conspiracy'
The heated rhetoric from Hill Republicans, talk radio, and some Fox News opiners is rapidly approaching eleven on a ten-point scale. Yesterday, Rush floated the idea that the Deep State might be so pernicious that it deceived George W. Bush ... -
I, Tonya's Comedy
I watched I, Tonya this weekend, and I thought it was a very compelling movie, but I wasn’t entirely sure what to make of it. I’ve gone back and read Kyle Smith’s review and Kevin Williamson’s ... -
Does the California Model Really Work?
The alleged success of the California model is one of the more intense controversies in the nerdier corners of public-policy debate. For many progressives, California’s metastasizing liberalism proves you can have Scandinavian-style social policies and tax rates and still ... -
Social Conservatives Should Condemn Trump’s Porn-Star Hookup
The allegation that Donald Trump cheated on his wife — the current first lady — with a porn star and then paid to cover it up is gaining attention. Given the legal paperwork involved in that cover-up, never mind everything else we ... -
Infamous Trump Meeting: Small Example of a Larger Trend
Pretty much everything Rich writes below is reasonable. And I think his concluding paragraph is entirely fair: Anyway, I believe the simplest explanation for most Trump controversies is that he’s being crude and thoughtless, and that applies here. The ... -
Durbin’s Dim ‘History’ Lesson
I think Trump’s sh**hole comment was bad, and I have a G-File coming out shortly explaining why. But I just heard Dick Durbin say, “I cannot believe in this history of the White House, in that Oval Office, ... -
The Terrible DACA Ruling Is a Symptom of Our Constitutional Order’s Atrophy
Josh Blackman offers the best legal analysis of Judge William Alsup’s ridiculous ruling barring President Trump from rescinding DACA. But, without stealing too much from Charlie’s bag of peeves (or prematurely borrowing from my forthcoming book), I think ... -
Bannon’s Fall
For the last year or so, I’ve been arguing not only that Steve Bannon has been a pernicious force in American politics, but that he’s the most overrated figure in American politics. With the news that he is ... -
Ritual Denunciations Are Non-American
I’ve made it pretty clear where I come down on Steve Bannon and his contributions to American politics. But I have to agree with Sonny Bunch about the unseemliness of these ritual denunciations. As much as I hate Bannon—... -
The Voter-Fraud Commission Dies a Partisan Death
Michael Thielen, the executive director of the Republican National Lawyers Association, is upset that the White House disbanded the “voter-fraud commission.” He writes: President Trump has shut down his Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity (PACEI), also called the “vote ... -
The Rise and Precipitous Fall of Steve Bannon
Steve Bannon won’t be going away any time soon, because he’s clearly addicted to the idea that he’s supremely relevant, and he’s surrounded himself with people who agree with him or are happy to be paid ... -
Who Deserves Credit for the Trump Administration's Accomplishments?
Contrary to what many predicted, President Trump’s end-of-year accomplishment list isn’t that skimpy. That’s an analytical observation. For many, particularly liberals and Democrats, Trump’s first year hasn’t been merely bad. It’s a great evil, ... -
The GOP’s Tax-Reform Parlay Is a Long Shot
The Republicans are betting big on a parlay. In gambling, a parlay is a combination bet that pays off only when every part of the wager wins. So if I bet that the Patriots, Cowboys, and Dolphins will win on ... -
Refusing to Be Reflexively Anti-Trump Isn't Selling Out

The Walking Dead Limps On
Okay, it’s been a few days, and I assume everyone who still cares about The Walking Dead — a shrinking group of people according to the ratings — is probably caught up. Still if you didn’t watch Sunday’s mid-season ... -

What Happens if Moore Wins?
I don’t think it’s a sure thing that Roy Moore will win next week, but it looks like the smart bet. The interesting question to me is: What happens once he’s in the Senate? Mitch McConnell is ... -
Time’s Person of the Year Shortlist
I hate Time’s Person of the Year crap, even though I will hypocritically concede that it often provides useful column fodder. On the merits, I think it’s pretty obvious that Trump should win, though you could make a ... -

Matt Lauer, Fox News, and How Tribalism Affects the Press

Notes on Justice League
I saw Justice League last night. The best thing it had going for it were all of the terrible reviews, which helped lower my expectations. What also helped is the fact that I am a Marvel guy and think that, ... -
Sexual Addiction

Saving Roy Moore Isn’t Worth It

Could It Be that Both Parties Are Doomed?

The Opioid Crisis Should Make Libertarians Rethink the Drug Legalization Argument

Conservatives Should Disavow, Not Embrace, Roy Moore

Self-Anointed Rainmaker Steve Bannon Dances Only During Cloudbursts

Donald Trump: America’s Talent-in-Chief
In high-school civics I was taught that, in America, the president has many roles, often divided in other countries. He’s commander-in-chief, head of state, chief administrator and executive, the head of his party, chief diplomat, legislative leader, and, according ...

Coverage of the Florida Tragedy is Driven by Anger, Not by Race

Trump and the T-Word
I agree with pretty much everything Dan writes below about President Trump’s glib use of the T-word. But I think Dan omits a couple things. First, it’s just different when presidents accuse opponents of treason. I could add ... -
Policy Earthquakes Are Shifting the Ground beneath Our Feet
One of the more annoying things about politics is that you can swing from left to right, or vice versa, without ever changing positions. For instance, in 2002, I came out in favor of same-sex domestic partnerships, or “civil unions.” This ... -
Liberals Still Love Nationalist Ideas — Just Not the Label
As many readers will recall, I have had my arguments with some of my colleagues about the benefits of nationalism as a unifying political concept. In fairness, Rich Lowry and Ramesh Ponnuru prefer the term “benign nationalism,” which I think ... -
The (Tea) Party Is Over

Why Are Social Conservatives Silent on Trump's Porn-Star Affair?

Is Diversity a Strength, and Should Strength Be a Core Value?

Why Have We Let Actors Become Our Moral Guides?
There’s a great scene in the wonderful 1982 movie My Favorite Year, which is set in 1954. Peter O’Toole plays a semi-washed-up actor named Alan Swann, famous for swashbuckling roles. For reasons too complicated to explain here, Swann tries to ... -

Despite Venezuela, Socialism Is Still Popular in the U.S.

Trump Puts Fact Ahead of Fiction in Israel

Trump Isn’t Getting Crazier; He’s Getting Comfortable
