KURT SCHLICHTER — Chill. Just chill. The wailing and gnashing of teeth on the hardcore conservative side over Trump's delaying action – really, a hudna – in the battle for the wall is way over the top and typically overdramatic. Trump's caved-in! We're doomed! Pelosi annihilated him with her master stratagems and it's all over for conservatism! Oh please. Lighten up, Francises, – and many of you are my pals. But you need this bucket of cold water. What happened Friday doesn't matter.... (more)

CLIFF KINCAID — The predawn raid on Roger Stone and his arrest are the latest developments in what is an obvious plan to force President Trump from office or impeach him. On the matter of border security, Trump looks weak and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi looks strong. The deal between the White House and congressional Democrats to negotiate over border security measures is a major loss for Trump. He has become toast for re-election because he has disappointed his base. The question now becomes how long he can survive as president.... (more)
