As a result, 42,000 Coast Guard members tasked […]
This is the final installment in a 3 part series. Read parts 1 and 2 here. President Trump’s wall will increase the power of the most dangerous drug cartels, it will contribute to the introduction of more dangerous variants of drugs it makes in short supply, and it is unlikely to pay for itself because […]
The political divorce between former Defense Secretary James Mattis and President Donald Trump was about as ugly as these things can get. Although even Trump’s criticisms of Mattis have been somewhat muted compared to his usual (and colorful) posts on the social media platform Twitter, it’s hard to deny that there’s little love lost between […]
Over the years, I’ve been accused of all sorts of political bias. Some days, I’m a closeted communist for suggesting that Donald Trump’s aggressive approach to foreign policy actually reduces America’s diplomatic leverage over its allies.

More than $25 million have been spent by special counsel Robert Mueller since he began his investigation. The exact dollar amount was disclosed late last week, and, according to a report from CNBC, about four and a half million was spent in the first few months on “compensation and benefits.” President Trump has been critical […]

In lieu of a successful vote on a bipartisan proposal by Senators Lee and Sanders to end Congressional support for US military involvement in the Yemeni civil war, Republican leadership attached language supporting US involvement in the conflict to the 2018 farm bill.

Much has been made in the past week — on conservative talk radio and among the rest of the punditry — of the Supreme Court’s refusal to grant cert on an “abortion case” in which two lower federal courts had ruled that states violated federal law when they terminated Medicaid contracts with Planned Parenthood affiliates.
