By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun

Like most people, I had hoped for the customary settling down after the tumultuous and nasty election. We have been denied that, not by the candidates, who have been dignified, but by the outgoing administration. I have written here and elsewhere…

Turning Against an Ally

By SETH LIPSKY, Special to the Sun
December 29, 2016

It looks like Secretary of State Kerry is determined to go out the way he came in — wrapping himself in the flag while betraying the causes of both America and its allies. He came in by doing that to Vietnam and is going out by turning on Israel. Mr…
