Guzzardi: States join immigration enforcement battle

The national frustration over President Biden’s immigration agenda was reflected not only in the presidential election’s results but also in Arizona.

Charen: How to be grateful despite Trump

How is everybody coping with the decline of America? I’ll tell you how I’m doing in a bit, but first I have a few observations about Thanksgiving. I wish I had a dime for every time I’ve heard someone declare that Thanksgiving is their favorite holiday. I used to say it myself, before I realized…

Not all lies are created equal

It never ends. The press still does not know how to handle the avalanche of lies that is MAGA’s chief contribution to our national life. I understand, sort of. It’s dull and time-consuming to bird-dog every false accusation, wild assertion or factual misstatement that comes out of Trumpland. “They’re controlling the weather” is just the…
