On Thursday morning, Paul Ryan was elected Speaker of the House. In his 13-minute acceptance speech, Ryan acknowledged that the House of Representatives is broken – “We are not solving problems. We are adding to them.” – and offered up some procedural changes, including having committees retake the lead in drafting all major legislation, opening

Like many other political autodidacts, Ben Carson has an odd obsession with Nazi Germany. On several occasions, the pediatric-neurosurgeon-turned-Republican-presidential-candidate has compared the United States to the Third Reich.

To which I would respond: It’s too early to know the answer to the question, but it’s not too early to ask it. I say that because of the extraordinary developments surrounding Mrs. Clinton’s private email server,

My wife, daughter, and youngest son were there as part of a Young Life retreat, at the property known as the Malibu Club. It was my first encounter with Young Life, a

In a compelling column, George Will – who knows a thing or two about conservatism – makes the conservative case against Donald Trump. Mr. Will refers to Trump as an “unprecedentedly and incorrigibly vulgar presidential candidate” who is coarsening our civic life.
