Here is Ann Coulter’s latest column.

Here is Conrad Black's latest column. I love his take on the Democrat candidates for president:

Joe Biden is the alternative [to Bernie Sanders]. The younger candidates are in a disorderly foot-race to the left and are generally almost even with Mr. Sanders in policy terms. Kamala Harris wants a “conversation” about every point that she has not resolved (which is most of them), in order not to close the door on even the most fatuous and extreme proposals.

Beto O’Rourke, despite the CNN rogue poll that he would defeat Donald Trump by 11%, remains an arm-flapping airhead with no traction, sinking without a ripple beneath the waves, where Kirsten Gillibrand and many of the others, including the egregious little attack dog Eric Swalwell, have preceded him. Cory Booker, an earnest but verbose and vacuous man, remains afloat with a life vest but is going nowhere.

Elizabeth Warren has also walked off the dock, and only her native headdress is still visible. In these circumstances, the party grandees, along with the majority of sensible rank and file, who would rather lose with honor and in a way that maintains the party’s tradition, will presumably put Mr. Biden in as nominee and offer one of the radical younger people as vice president.

It won’t fly, and Mr. Trump will win easily, probably by about 15 million votes.

An "arm-flapping airhead." Hilarious!

Concerning “Brunei human rights” (News of the Day, May 7): Even though Brunei has announced a moratorium on new Shariah criminal laws that would have allowed stoning people for gay sex, it’s outrageous that the Trump Administration has remained coldly silent on this issue. It’s times like this that I wish that Hillary Clinton, who remarked that gay rights are human rights when she served as U.S. Secretary of State, were now serving as our nation’s chief executive.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora is to be congratulated on his display of leadership in choosing not to visit the White House (“Cora to skip White House event for Sox,” Page A1, May 6). As a Red Sox fan since 1946, I’ve taken comfort in the new ownership’s sharp break with the club’ s tolerance and promotion of racism in the previous century. That progress is clouded by the respectability now bestowed upon the most racist, xenophobic, and narcissistic president since, at least, Andrew Johnson and perhaps ever.

The Red Sox never should have agreed to dirty the club’s reputation by meeting with this man, and shouldn’t have put Cora and others in the position of acting on their own.
