Naughton delves into the polling numbers and finds that "while Trump's legal troubles have only modestly helped him within the GOP, they are still a problem for the general election" -- particularly with the independent voters he will need to triumph. Fortunately for Trump, there are more important things on the minds of most voters, including inflation and immigration. "And it is Biden's mishandling of these issues that has propelled Trump ahead." "There is no evidence Trump will 'guilty' his way back to the Oval Office," Naughton writes. "Criminal guilt for him is nothing but bad." "However, given the drifting, fumbling and stumbling of the Biden administration, guilty might not matter." Read the op-ed at TheHill.com. |

Israeli and Palestinian extremists oppose a two-state solution, but we have seen that the lack of a solution produces periodic military and terrorist violence, followed by political inattention, followed by more violence. These cycles have brought Israel and the Palestinians no closer to a settlement. Thinking a continuation of this decades-long pattern will produce any different result is delusional. |

In his famous speech at the 1976 GOP convention, Ronald Reagan called for, "a banner of bold, unmistakable colors with no pale pastels." Greg Abbott's first two terms were drawn in pastels, but his more recent successes with bold colors should be instructive for Republicans everywhere. |

During the State of the Union address, President Biden demanded that Congress "harness the promise of A.I. and protect us from its peril." That's a good first step, but not if your idea of peril is limited to annoying robocalls. |
