BARONE: Trump’s outrageous threats get practical results

Think about it. Heads of government do not normally reveal the texts of private communications from other heads of state. Yet that is what Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store of Norway did Sunday, on the first weekend of the World Economic Forum in Davos, where the international press ...

COMER: Farmington’s Nick Shirley becomes as famous as once predicted

On May 25, 2020, KSL reporter Tania Dean wrote the following in an article on Nick Shirley, who had just graduated from Farmington High School: “Some people might not know who Nick Shirley is yet, but one day, they will.” Five and a half years later, that has proven to be an amazingly ...

PARKER: The common faith of Elise Stefanik and Erika Kirk

Rep. Elise Stefanik, Republican candidate running to unseat New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, announced she is pulling out of the race and will not seek reelection for her congressional seat, in which she is now serving her sixth term. It's been a rough couple years for Stefanik. After ...

ERICKSON: Let there be light

"Let there be light," said the voice opening scripture eons before he cried out, pushed out of his mother's womb. The light bringer brought light into the world in the middle of the dark of night and on the day he died, in the middle of the day, the world went dark. The light left, but returned ...

DE RUGY: In appreciation of what makes America’s generosity possible

CHAREN: Reflections on Bondi Beach

When I go to synagogue, I always smile and wave at the armed police officers stationed outside. I want them to know they're appreciated, but also, at some level, I guess it's fair to say that I'm trying to ingratiate myself so that the cop will want to put his or her life on the line to save us ...

GARVEY: The happy-enough holiday is more than good enough

On my 11th Christmas, my parents were preparing to divorce. At the time, I didn't know that, of course, though I imagine most children sense, on some level, the rising tension and animosity that can precede separation. They were certainly fighting more, and I remember hating it, being the only ...

SHAPIRO: The dumbest assumption in all of politics

One of the most persistent mistakes in modern politics is the insistence on flattening all ideologies — pretending that all human beings think the same way, want the same things and are motivated by the same forces. Every time policymakers fall into this trap, the result is not compassion or ...

COMER: Hello, again, Mitt Romney

I was thinking just a few days ago how I hadn’t heard much lately from Mitt Romney. I suppose the realization wasn’t shocking, given that the conservative movement at this point revolves completely around President Donald Trump and Romney is no longer a part of the U.S. Senate, but I was ...
