South Dakota GOP Gov. Kristi Noem said Wednesday the reason she decided against competing for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination is simple: former President Donald Trump. "None of them can win as long as Trump is in the race, and that's just the facts," Noem told Fox News from Sturgis, South Dakota, where she attended the world's largest motorcycle rally. "Why run if you can't win? I've probably run 10 statewide races; I've won them all. I've never lost. If I get into a race, I'm going to win. That's just how we do it. Click for Full Text!

In forty years of teaching, the most difficult or at least the most disconcerting question I have been asked came during a summer seminar when I was lecturing on the Constitution and on Lincoln’s attitude towards it. I had been reviewing the various compromises made at the Philadelphia Convention concerning slavery when a student asked, point blank, whether, if I had been there, would I have voted for them. I paused. It was easy enough to explain what the compromises were, why those who made them thought them necessary for the document’s completion and ratification, how the Constitution contributed to the growth and success of the United States, and even how the Constitution ...

The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday called the economic war a “stalemate,” comparing it to the situation on the battlefield in Ukraine. Click for Full Text!

A nation’s leader just wanting his nation to stay neutral regarding a war undertaken against another nation by the United States government can set in motion a US government effort to boot that leader from office. A previously secret Pakistan government document disclosed in a Wednesday in-depth The Intercept article suggests that such a removal effort is just what the US government successfully accomplished in Pakistan in the early days of the Ukraine War. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had been steadfast in supporting keeping his country out of the Ukraine War in which the United States and other nations have been using the Ukraine government and military as a proxy to fight ...
