The decision of the British Labor Party Thursday to suspend its former leader, Jeremy Corbyn, over anti-Semitism is an astonishing development. It follows an official finding that party officials had failed to deal with anti-Semitism in the party and...
It’s a diplomatic case of better late than never. It seems that Menachem Binyamin Zivotofsky might finally get an American passport listing his country of birth as Israel — eighteen years after his American mother, who with her husband lives in Beit...
When Americans go to the polls November 3, The New York Sun urges a vote to re-elect President Trump and Vice President Pence. We do so in the belief that the principles for which the President, the Vice President, and the Republican Party stand...

It is a squeeze to reduce the number of logically indisputable reasons why President Trump should be reelected to a single column, but I will attempt it. Reelection is the only way of restoring the conditions that Mr. Trump created that eliminated...
The Senate’s confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett as a justice of the Supreme Court reminds us of President Trump’s decision to move our embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. The opponents, in their predictions of war and mayhem and riots on the Arab street, were almost Schumerian. In the event, though, what happened was the opposite.

What young man doesn’t dread confronting an irate grandmother? What, though, if you are Prince Harry and your grandmother is Elizabeth II? The New York Post reports that Harry has been summoned to Buckingham Palace to account for a video filmed with...
When the Senate begins its vote on PresidentTrump’s nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to become the 115th Justice of the Supreme Court, spare a thought for the drama’s wiliest, most conniving, most self-satisfied, trickiest player — History. That...
The Democrats are trying to make it socially unacceptable to vote to reelect Trump. It seems to be working so far, at least up to a point. The Republican governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan, says he wrote in Ronald Reagan. The Republican governor of...
President Trump’s latest peace deal related to Israel — announced today with Sudan — is hard to appreciate fully without reference to the Khartoum resolution of 1967. It was issued at a summit of the Arab League at Sudan’s capital after the Jewish state emerged as the victor in the Six-Day War.

For anyone with any perspective on American elections, it is clear that the polls do not entitle us to predict with any confidence the outcome of the current campaign. Many of the polls included in the average of polls on aggregator sites are really...
