Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

To the editor:

Charlene Fu and Curtis Chin state that President Trump’s China tariffs might be “unpalatable” and “unsettling,” but they argue that his policies are a welcome move toward establishing a U.S.-led global consensus that will compel China to follow international trade law.

There was once such an emerging consensus. But then Trump was elected president and started attacking our North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies in Europe and scuttled the the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which sought to create a U.S.-led counterbalance to Chinese trade. Trump has also put the North American Free Trade Agreement at risk.

Contrary to the authors’ assertions, Trump’s policies have subverted efforts to convince China to hew to international trade law.

I want to know, where is the money for Border Security and the WALL in this ridiculous Spending Bill, and where will it come from after the Midterms? Dems are obstructing Law Enforcement and Border Security. REPUBLICANS MUST FINALLY GET TOUGH!

Here is Ann Coulter's latest column.

I would like to comment on the article about the WPIAL investigating accusations of racial slurs during the Connellsville-Penn Hills soccer game (Sept. 13, “Connellsville Boys Soccer Team, Fans Accused of Using Racial Slurs”). While I think the school, the athletes, their parents and the community bear responsibility for their actions, if this behavior occurred, I also believe such alleged behavior is a direct result of the hatred and bigotry released within our society by Donald Trump’s dangerous rhetoric.

I could go on and on about Mr. Trump and what a blight his presidency is on this country, but that would ignore an important fact: Mr. Trump is essentially a malignant narcissist who is beyond any hope of redemption. Criticizing his behavior and the harm that it has caused would do no good because it will not change him. Instead, I think that responsibility should be directed to the Republicans in Congress, who enable his reprehensible conduct, which is eroding our culture, norms and the generous, tolerant and positive nature of the average U.S. citizen.

The Republicans seem to think they can remain silent about the hatred that spews from Mr. Trump and filters down to students. They think they can absolve themselves of responsibility by not commenting on it or by making some platitudinous statement objecting to it. They are wrong, however. When they ran for public office and were sworn in, they agreed to take up the challenge of leadership for all Americans. Leadership is hard. It is lonely at the top. Going against the crowd takes guts and integrity, things that our Congress clearly lacks.

That Congress will not remove him from office is a failure of our national leadership. That all Americans are not demanding that Congress do it is a failure of our national morality.
