By ADELE MALPASS, Special to the Sun President Trump’s plan to distill the Republican platform to its essential principles may be opposed by some conservatives. By no means all of them, though. Count me as one former Republican county chairman and a member of a past platform committe…
Suffrage Is Set for Its Double Jubilee as Quest for ERA Turns 50 By PAUL ATKINSON, Special to the Sun This summer will mark two anniversaries in the women’s rights movement. August 18 will mark 100 years since the 19th Amendment, granting women suffrage, was finally ratified by three-quarters of the state legislatures and became part of the suprem…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The President was perfectly accurate, and for once insusceptible to questions about his good faith, when he expressed surprise at Attorney General Barr’s comment last week that former president Obama and former vice president Biden, “based on t… Eureka! The Left Discovers Tenth Amendment By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Amid the grim coronavirus news of death and unemployment, at least there is the comic relief of the left embracing the Tenth Amendment. Suddenly trendy is the provision of the Bill of Rights that “The powers not delegated to the United States by th… America Enters a Jacques Rueff Moment By JOHN MUELLER, Special to the Sun Producer and consumer prices have fallen sharply, along with employment and consumption. The crude oil price briefly turned negative. But one price is up by more than one-third in the past year: gold. As President Trump charts his course back to…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun As the debate between those who want an unlimited lockdown and those who want to reopen America as quickly as possible becomes more clangorous every day, months of intensive study and sad experience with the coronavirus enable us to determine the best…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun What accounts for the apparently dramatic mismatch between the stock market and the economy? Unemployment is the worst it has been since the Great Depression. Goldman Sachs says it could hit 25%. Gross domestic product could fall by 42.8%, according…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun As the unprecedented effort of the elders of the Democratic Party to use the Justice Department and intelligence services to manipulate and then undo a presidential election collapses, their response is a study in the corruption of unchallenged…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun A Worcester, Massachusetts, pastor, Kristopher Casey, will be punished with a $300 civil fine for convening more than 10 people at his Sunday church service. If he does it again, the fine will increase to $500, and he could face criminal charges…
By TOM McLAUGHLIN, Special to the Sun Good will toward government is diminishing in Oxford County, Maine. There has always been healthy skepticism toward centralized authority during the 43 years I’ve been in residence, but it has grown over the last month of coronavirus shutdown. Whe… American States Are Already Free To Seek Shelter In Bankruptcy Court By EDWIN SCHINDLER, Special to the Sun Blue State governors are up in arms about the prospects that the corona pandemic and their own mismanagement might force their states into bankruptcy. The political optics of their longstanding fiscal failures could be exposed, as well as their… Trump Managing To Put Democrats In Political Corner By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The Democrats are taking their stand on the coronavirus crisis in an untenable position. It is like building a defensive redoubt in a valley surrounded by hills in the hands of the enemy (like the French at Dien Bien Phu in 1955, as President Eisenhower warned them). Whether this is tactical stupidity by the president’s enemies or strategic genius by the president or — more likely — a bit of both, is not clear except to insiders.
It Will Be Tough To Beat the Economist’s Ideas By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Vice President Biden has chosen an opponent for the 2020 general election — and it’s not Donald Trump, but instead, of all people, an economics professor who died in 2006. “Milton Friedman isn’t running the show anymore,” Mr. Biden declared…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun It is almost unbelievable that the Democrats have allowed themselves to be so completely out-maneuvered by President Trump in the coronavirus and economic crises. They are all calling for an indefinite protraction of the economic hemorrhage, with… Art of the Bailout Means Conditions On New York Aid By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Democratic politicians are eying the newly limitless federal budget with the appetite of coronavirus-era shoppers swarming a new shipment of toilet paper. “We’re in need. Where are you?” the mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, tweeted…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun Tom Friedman, the amiable but compulsively mistaken columnist of the New York Times, has produced a proposal for Joe Biden to nominate in advance a unity cabinet, composed of an ideological range of people from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to Mitt Romney…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun In the fight between the governors and President Trump over who has the authority to re-open America, the politicians have it wrong. It’s not the politicians who have the power to re-open America, or at least the parts that are now closed. It…
By PAUL ATKINSON, Special to the Sun The question of the hour is whether America can spring back to the kind of robust economy that marked the Trump era before the pandemic struck. One guide to the answer would be the depression that struck between 1920 and 1921. It was one of the most…
