Russia has been attacking Ukraine for 20 months now. Iran, through its terrorism partner Hamas, attacked Israel this weekend. China has been threatening to attack Taiwan.

With every passing week and every news cycle, it becomes more and more baffling that we are on track for a 2020 presidential rematch when the top alternative has proven that he is ready for the job.

I must admit that I have struggled to understand Rep. Nancy Mace's (R-SC) unprecedented decision to join seven Republicans and the entire Democratic caucus to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as House speaker.

GOP CROWDED FIELD PANIC. The Republicans who most want to defeat former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination have long complained about the size of the GOP field.

The most recent Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians have shocked the civilized world. Terrorists went house to house hunting Jews, murdering them, kidnapping them, and setting houses on fire.

Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin used to identify as a conservative journalist. Then, after Donald Trump campaigned for president in 2016 and won, Rubin transitioned and stated she was no longer a conservative.

Hamas may be a terrorist group, but for decades, Israel and the wider world have treated it as a fact of life. John Kerry visited the group as a senator, prior to becoming secretary of state. So, too, did many European officials. The Turkish parliament gave Hamas leader Khaled Meshal a rousing ovation during his 2006 visit to Ankara. Today, Qatar competes with Turkey to shower funds and support on the group whose charter calls for the extermination of Jews.
