Here is what the New York Times doesn’t tell you.

The Biden-Harris administration and the media speak of fears of a ‘regional war.’ That war is already on. The question is how much worse it might get.

There’s a strong chance the jihadists die in prison no matter how the government proceeds with their cases.

David Weiss did what he has done for most of six years of running the Biden investigation: nothing.

Despite the best efforts of the judge and the prosecutor, there is no practical possibility of a Trump election-interference trial prior to Election Day.

What Americans have wanted is justice. That will be denied.

The unexpected spotlight on the Manhattan case had the effect of discrediting the entire enterprise in the public mind.

Look to the self-defeating machinations of Merrick Garland and Jack Smith.

Doing the right thing by emphatically ending lawfare might not win the president reelection, but it would improve his chances.

Kristen Clarke lied to Congress under oath, the senators claim.

The Constitution does not empower executive officers to create inferior-officer positions absent an enabling statute.

And a more modest win for Trump.

Can our constitutional checks and balances do anything about it?

There is no way to evaluate the total damage inflicted on Trump’s candidacy by Bragg’s prosecution until we learn what Judge Merchan will do.

The standing claims of the red states challenging DACA are not as formidable as their substantive claims.

If the defendant had been anyone other than Trump, the Justice Department would have zealously guarded its exclusive power to enforce campaign-finance law.

The AG is not withholding Hur’s work. He is withholding his own work.

Remember, this prosecution took six years — and if Weiss and the Biden Justice Department had had their way, it wouldn’t have happened at all.

It’s all about political calculations.

Regardless of what happens to Donald Trump, all of us will live to regret it.

But he and his faux special counsel might yet find a solution.

MAGA Republicans have never come to grips with a stubborn fact: Their affection for Trump is a decidedly minority position in this country.

The president is thoroughly complicit in the prosecutions of his opponent, which he hopes to ride to a second term in the Oval Office.

That Merchan’s decision was predictable doesn’t make it right.

Oh, the irony.

The special counsel’s final report on the Clinton campaign’s manufacturing of the Trump–Russia collusion narrative will be very interesting reading.

The notion of women holding governmental positions is anathema to the Taliban.

For conservatives, saving unborn children should be a matter of principle, not tactical politics.

The president has been resigned for years to the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan.

For 20 years, some of us have been countering that you can’t defeat the enemy without understanding that they are the enemy, and what they believe.
