Turkey and Hungary should be suspended from NATO

In order to be credible, a defensive military alliance requires the common confidence of its members that, should one member be attacked, other members will provide it with decisive support.

Both nations should be suspended from the alliance.

Ted Cruz isn’t serious about term limits. He’s just looking for attention.

Have our genes completely changed in 60 years?

Is Donald Trump the luckiest man alive?

Contrary to his absurd assertions, Donald Trump is certainly not the best president in our nation's history, but he might be the luckiest man alive.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s committee appointments mock survivors of 9/11

Arriving for work at the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center at 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 11, 2001, seemed like any other day. I sat in my cubicle and read through overnight cable traffic.

‘Never again’ must include the Uyghur in China

*Note: the author uses the term East Turkistan to refer to what others call Xinjiang because he, like most Uyghurs, view ‘Xinjiang’ as a pejorative chosen by the Chinese to intentionally offend Uyghurs with each mention.
