By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun There has never been a presidential campaign in the United States where the administration was so massively opposed by the principal press outlets as in this election. Nor, in at least a century, have the national political media so widely and… Trump and Biden Will Be Defined By Their Enemies By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun In politics, it helps to have an enemy. The Soviet Union served that function for American presidents of both parties during the Cold War. Radical Islamic terrorism and al Qaeda played the role for George W. Bush, ISIS and illegal immigrants for…
By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun The current speculation about a likely Joe Biden victory in the November presidential election ignores a number of extraordinary factors. Since the speculation is in the press and the press is overwhelmingly hostile to President Trump, there is a…
By PAUL ATKINSON, Special to the Sun Call it a case of academic double jeopardy. Princeton University’s decision to purge the name of Woodrow Wilson from its school of public affairs follows a decision only four years ago to keep the name. That was in 2016, when Princeton’s trustee…
By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun In a 2017 New York Times column headlined “America’s Best University President,” Bret Stephens praised Robert Zimmer of the University of Chicago as a defender of free speech. The column quoted speeches and letters from Zimmer and other University… Rice Is Emerging As a Logical Pick For Biden’s Veep By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun Susan Rice is a Rhodes scholar, a graduate of Beauvoir and the National Cathedral School, the daughter of a Federal Reserve governor, a protégé of Madeleine Albright and of Anthony Lake. In 2012 the Washington Post reported her family’s wealth at $20 million. She’s also the great-granddaughter of a slave and granddaughter of a janitor. Ms. Rice, who served as national security adviser and as ambassador to the United Nations during the Obama administration, embodies a story of upward mobility — an America full of possibility, where people aren’t trapped by their race or family backgrounds. How a Dog Named Maya Won the Heart of Dyed-in-the-Wool Cat Lover By CONRAD BLACK, Special to the Sun This is about a terribly sad event in our home. The senior of my wife’s two magnificent dogs, Kuvaszok, Maya, has died. They are a large (80-125 pound) all-white Hungarian breed, originally mountain livestock guardians, somewhat wolfish in thei…
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… Biden Could Win If He Keeps on Echoing Trump By IRA STOLL, Special to the Sun On three important issues recently in the news, Vice President Biden is sounding a lot like Donald Trump. The hottest one is the violent protests or riots triggered by the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police. The politically…
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…
