A bully pulpit.

Did Trump Obstruct Justice?

New reporting makes for a compelling case that he did, on multiple counts.

Yes.

As a 2-State Solution Loses Steam, a 1-State Plan Gains Traction

Some Israeli and Palestinian leaders are now pressing for a single state, but their views of what that state would look like are mutually exclusive.

There will be an existential war in all probability.

I would not like to see a palestinian state.

Christie on His Relationship With Trump (Great) and His Regrets (Few) as New Jersey’s Governor

“I feel like I’ve done the job as well or better than anybody who’s ever had it,” Gov. Chris Christie said.

Chris Christie is not in prison.

The legal system failed.

When It Costs Double to Let Your 12-Year-Old Fly Alone

Southwest will let 12-year-olds fly solo. Other airlines want them (and 13- and 14-year-olds) in their unaccompanied minor programs for an extra $150 each way. But why?

Escaping the childminders is worth the risk.

Opinion

Let’s Try to Get Past Trump

Maybe we’ll pretend he’s on some other planet.

Satirizing Trump is impossible.
He is beyond belief.

Who Loses When a Country Puts Citizenship Up for Sale?

The United Arab Emirates has undertaken a brazen plan to deal with its stateless population. It could set a dangerous precedent.

Remember to vote.

The cold always bothered me, anyway.

Yes, winter is cold.

For Trump, Book Raises Familiar Questions of Loyalty and Candor

Every president is confronted by unflattering portrayals by former aides who leave and tell their stories, but usually not so early in an administration.

"Hold your friends close and your enemies closer"

I believe Michael Wolff.  His story pleases me.

A Chinese Empire Reborn

The Communist Party’s emerging empire is more the result of force than a gravitational pull of Chinese ideas.

Perceptive.
My universe is warned.

New Jersey Is Last State to Insist at Gas Stations: Don’t Touch That Pump

As of Jan. 1, the only other holdout, Oregon, allows people in certain counties to fuel up their cars themselves.

Pumping your own gas is a small burden.
Gas stations are owned by oil companies that like the small premium of paid attendants.

The heat can work.
Small houses are easier to heat.
