R.T. NEARY — The one undeniable truth in this great historic Land of the Pilgrims today is that we live by the lie. Disseminating untruths is not only acceptable but applauded, if they are phrased not to offend certain selected elements in our social structure. Ironically, the one exception is if one's utterances seem to be echoing the bedrock principles which led to the founding of the Bay State and ultimately these United States. To some it may sound strange, but just referring to our nation as a Republic will set off alarm bells in numerous circles.... (more)

Democratic incumbent tied with Republican Knute Buehler in deep-blue state

WASHINGTON TIMES — Oregon Gov. Kate Brown positioned herself early on as a leader of the anti-Trump opposition, but the state's never-ending panoply of protest activity has backfired on her re-election bid with voters suffering from resistance fatigue.

Knute Buehler, an affable orthopedic surgeon whose moderate brand of Republicanism is attracting crossover voters.... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — For months, these columns have contended that, on the question whether President Trump should agree to a request by Special Counsel Robert Mueller III for an interview, the burden of persuasion has been imposed on the wrong party. That is, the president should not even be asked to submit to questioning at this point; the prosecutor must first establish that the president (1) is implicated in a serious crime and (2) has information or evidence that the prosecutor is unable to obtain from any other source....

STEPHEN MOORE — Take a wild guess what country is reducing its greenhouse gas emissions the most? Canada? Britain? France? India? Germany? Japan? No, no, no, no, no and no. The answer to that question is the United States of America. Wow! How can that be? This must be a misprint. Fake news. America never signed the Kyoto Protocol some two decades ago. We never enacted a carbon tax. We don't have a cap and trade carbon emission program. That evironmental villain Donald Trump pulled America out of the Paris climate accord that was signed by almost the entire rest of the civilized world.... (more)
