Che Guevara, Corker deficits, IRGC terrorists

Che Guevara was an evil, possibly psychopathic, idiot and not much in the way of an insurgent, either. The communist guerrilla leader was a loser. Here’s why

Senator Bob Corker is right to point out that Republicans don’t care about the deficit. It’s a crucial issue that demands more attention

The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps is a terrorist organization and should be labelled as such. But the timing of designating the IRGC a terrorist group is important

Washington Examiner editorial on Iran, which I wrote. I'm grateful to Tim Carney and Hugo Gurdon for letting me craft our position on this very important issue

SSBN peace, Trump Tillerson, Grace Mugabe, Iran editorial

US and British nuclear ballistic-missile submarine crews deserved this year’s nobel peace prize. Here’s why

Trump must listen to Tillerson or fire him. The current state of affairs damages U.S. diplomacy and is an affront to good government

Grace Mugabe is a venal and violent woman. Let us hope she doesn't become Zimbabwe’s next president

I've written the Washington Examiner's Saturday editorial on Iran, it can be read here

Iran deal, Partisan friends, Green Berets, Rohingya Genocide, Taiwan

Trump should not decertify the Iran nuclear deal, yet. Once we set off down that path, the diplomacy and risks get very complex very quickly. There’s a better alternative

Why and how the US must confront Burma's Rohingya genocide. The suffering is exponential but UN action is non-existent. We have alternatives to end the killings

America's partisan friend zone problem. A new Pew poll shows that many Americans have very few friends from opposite political persuasions. Here’s why that’s a problem

How, in Niger and beyond, the Green Berets serve US security. They are elite soldiers, but they’re also able to speak with, understand, train, and lead very different forces

House Republicans want increased U.S. support for Taiwan. That’s a good thing

Second Amendment, North Korea, Britain Sputnik

Why the European establishment hates the Second Amendment. It’s not because they hate guns, but because they believe government is more trustworthy than individuals

North Korea, School protests, flying luxury, Tom Price

North Korea says 4.7 million of its citizens are ready to join its military. But while that might sound like a new threat to the U.S. and South Korea, adding so many new soldiers would make it harder for North Korea to wage war effectively

Some schools are trying to ban students from kneeling during the national anthem. I think those protests are stupid, but schools can’t discipline students for engaging in them

Tom Price likes flying on high-end military transport jets. It’s not because they are safer, but because they offer a luxury that the rest of us can only dream of

Fired from his position as HHS Director, Tom Price only has himself to blame. He repeatedly behaved like an extreme idiot

Putin-Erdogan, ISIS leader, Theresa May, Colombia Venezuela

Presidents Putin and Erdogan met in Turkey on Thursday. It seems likely that they’re about to hit U.S. interests in Syria

ISIS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has released a new audiotape threatening Saudi Arabia, journalists, and the west. Here’s why it matters and what you need to know

British Prime Minister Theresa May just offered a robust defense of the free market. Her message is a much needed rebuke to Jeremy Corbyn’s rising socialist party

Colombia and Venezuela are neighbors governed by ideological opposites. The capitalist nation is thriving, the socialist nation is imploding
