Jay Ambrose: Barr was right; the left was wrong

It is a sign of our times that Attorney General William Barr tried to do something right and some illiberal liberals, including not a few in the media, decided that it was wrong on the basis of mindless presidential squawks, factual ignorance and in some cases political opportunity.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: Vote blue, no matter who?

Vote blue, no matter who? Even if the “who” sees your boys and men as Xeroxes, to be interchangeably thrown against walls? How will black people, the most loyal of Democratic constituencies, respond, if this is what they are asked to do?

Leonard Pitts Jr.: GOP playing the game by different rules

Suppose your friend invites you to play Monopoly. But suppose she insists on a set of special rules applicable only to her. Like when she lands on your property, she only has to pay half the required rent. And for every house she buys, she gets one free. And when she passes “Go,” she gets $500.

Martin Schram: Mission accomplished for Trump’s new whisperer

The new Trump Whisperer, former Kansas congressman Mike Pompeo, returned to his Capitol roots in triumph Wednesday. Sort of. Secretary of State Pompeo, the lone survivor of President Donald Trump’s Kleenex box of disposable national security officials, was clearly the one in charge when Trump’s team of Cabinet members and generals went to Congress. Their mission was billed as an in-depth, top-secret, cellphones-forbidden classified briefing for all senators and representatives on the Hows, Whys and Why-Nows of the missile strike that executed Iran’s famous Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

Meghan L. O’Sullivan: Trump’s Iran speech had three audiences

President Donald Trump’s speech on Iran will not go down in memory as eloquent or inspiring – but it gave the world what it needed most: an opportunity for de-escalation.
