Let’s turn to the issue of voting rights and corporate chief executives. A statement organized in recent days by the former CEO of American Express, Kenneth Chenault, and Merck’s chief executive, Kenneth Frazier. A large number of companies signed it...
Congratulations are in order to the chairman of Fox News, Lachlan Murdoch, for his refusal to bow to a demand that he fire Tucker Carlson. The demand was made by the Anti-Defamation League after a broadcast by Mr. Carlson on immigration. The ADL...
The death of Prince Philip, coming at a time of turmoil in Britain’s royal family, offers a moment to reflect on the meaning of monarchy. And, for that matter, on the events spanned by his astounding life — including not only the 74 years in which he was the husband of Elizabeth II but also his family’s entanglements with Germany and his own rise to side with the Allies, for whom he appeared in arms in World War II.
As Iran suffers a host of mysterious mishaps, Israelis are at arms over press leaks of sensitive military information. Are Israeli officials too eager to brag about their battlefield success, or are Americans, in an effort to appease the ayatollahs...

The death of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, signals the end of an era in British national life. Prime Minister Boris Johnson likened his role to that of “the expert carriage driver that he was,” saying the Prince “helped to steer the royal family...

As a person in my 70s, I cannot remember when Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was not a prominent public figure well known in this country and much of the world. It does not seem like 70 years ago when my mother took my brother and me to see...
As members of President Biden’s team are packing for a Vienna trip next week, eager to reinstate a 2015 deal that was the diplomatic crown jewel of the Obama era, three House members are raising questions about Washington’s involvement in a...
Should the Mideast fear the recent signing of a $400 billion, 25-year “strategic partnership” pact between Communist China and the Iranian ayatollahs? “If you analyze China’s policy, you’ll not see a threat to anyone,” Russia’s deputy ambassador to...
Senator Joe Manchin’s statement in support of the filibuster would seem to put a dagger through the heart of Senator Schumer’s hopes to get rid of the most famous rule in the Senate. It was particularly nice to see the context in which the Mountain...
Our favorite story about Robert Mundell, the Nobel laureate in economics who at age 88 died Sunday at his villa in Italy, illuminates what a country would do for an hour of his time. It was the late 1980s. We were based in Brussels as an editorial...
While Major League Baseball is pulling its All-Star game out of Georgia, it turns out it’s been expanding into — wait for it — Communist China. Never mind that one can’t bring water to voters on line in the People’s Republic. No, of course not. There are no long lines of voters in China. It’s run by communists. Talk about voter suppression. They deny the right to vote to everyone, no matter what their race.

So here’s the deal. The Democrats want to raise the estate tax. Republicans want to escape the annoying and counterproductive capital gains tax. How about we compromise on the following — Congress reduces the capital gains tax to zero but doubles the...
President Biden’s infrastructure bill is a shopping cart full of left-wing causes, most of which have nothing to do with infrastructure. There is nothing in principle particularly wrong with omnibus bills covering a number of different policy...

“The largest federal tax increase since 1942,” is how the New York Times, in a front-page news article, is describing President Biden’s plan for the American economy. The Times fails to specify precisely how it is measuring the size of the tax...
