Nikolas Cruz, Florida Shooting Suspect, Was Expelled From School

Students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., remember him as a quiet student who nonetheless alarmed others with his affinity for firearms.

I do not understand Nikolas Cruz.

A reader sarcastically praises the generosity of Michael Cohen, who paid $130,000 to a woman claiming to have had an affair with the president.

Michel Cohen is playing an unknown game.

An exit from Afghanistan must be found beginning immediately.

One reader calls the budget a “profligate spending spree.” Another says that explains why the president “filed for bankruptcy so many times.”

A policy for disaster.

Donald Trump Raids the Pantry of Poor Americans

The president’s proposed budget includes a scheme to cut the food stamp program, making life more difficult for millions of low-income people.

"Work or starve" kills the poor, the disabled and the unlucky old.
