Good morning from Washington the day after another murderous act of terror in London shows the U.S. must be more prepared, as James Jay Carafano writes. The opioid drug crisis partially explains why a poor New England county helped elect Donald Trump, Josh Siegel discovers in the first of five reports from the North Country. Plus: Lindsey Burke on Trump's real plans for education, and Arthur Milikh on Trump's being unafraid of the disapproval of global leaders. Churchill delivered his "we shall never surrender" speech 77 years ago yesterday.
A study showed Trump outperformed Romney most dramatically in counties where the drug, alcohol, and suicide mortality rate is among the nation's highest. The Daily Signal traveled to one such county to learn why voters went for Trump.
It's common sense to take reasonable precautions where possible to put additional hurdles in the terrorists' path. That's what President Trump's travel order was about. Unfortunately, the courts keep blocking it.
"Millions of kids around this country are going to suffer from what has been done with a $9.2 billion cut to our education programs," claims one Democrat lawmaker. Here's the truth.
That global elites feel sufficient self-confidence to attempt to publicly shame the president of the United States is partly because other U.S. presidents typically succumbed to similar pressures long before they became public.
Elected Democrats have vowed to implement the goals of the Paris climate agreement despite President Trump's decision Thursday to withdraw from the accord.
"There are solutions, but Democrats are too soft to use them. They would rather see our youth slaughtered in the streets than enforce laws that would stop this insanity," writes Tom Prendergast.
