• Anne Applebaum: Putin’s attack on Western values was familiar. The American reaction was not.

  30-06-2019 22:18
  Russian scorn for liberal democracy has a long history, and a certain kind of Russian disdain for the West is nothing new. As far back as 1920, Lenin declared that parliaments were “historically obsolete” and predicted that it was just a matter of time before they disappeared. In 1956, the Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev famously said that “history is on our side.” The Soviet Union was winning, he said, and the West was dying: “We will bury you.”That's the his

If it’s anywhere around the goal and they just happen to be nearby, that ball is finding the back of the net one way or another. The majority of Johnson’s seven goals this season have come from him simply being in the vicinity.But no goal exemplifies the “poacher” moniker like his second

  As a child, I was expected to have a glass of milk at every meal before I could have anything else to drink.

There’s an analogy for tax reform here, so hold that thought.The years 1930 and 1931 were notable for the ferocity of the tax reform debate.

It’s so terrific that it’s nearly identical to his personal plane, perhaps so he can pretend to be president after his current four years of pretending to be president end.And just who was the hack
