Trading Viktor Bout for Brittney Griner highlights the central error of quid pro quo hostage deals. Biden’s misguided triumphalism incentivizes hostile govts, rogue states, and terrorists to calculate the benefits of seizing Americans as bargaining chips.

The Bout-for-Griner prisoner swap is not a trade, it's an American surrender. This is not what American strength looks like. Terrorists and rogue states are smiling.

The Dec. 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2,403 Americans and wounded 1,178 more. We remember that profound moment of tragedy and the huge price paid to defend American freedom -- and why can't take it lightly today. May we always remember Dec 7!

The Georgia Senate loss belongs to Donald Trump. , do you agree with Trump that he should be declared the 2020 winner or that a new election should be held? And what provision of the Constitution would permit that?

This has to be the dumbest assessment of our Senate loss,
His campaign told Trump to stay out, so don’t blame Trump.
Blame the one who was hand holding him all over the state, among many other reasons. twitter.com/AmbJohnBolton/…

America now faces two major nuclear powers as strategic competitors and potential adversaries. Comprehensive homeland defense measures are inescapable when facing combined Chinese and Russian threats. Any other conclusion is irresponsible.

The outcome in Georgia is due primarily to Trump, who cast a long shadow over this race. His meddling and insistence that the 2020 election was stolen will deliver more losses. Trump remains a huge liability and the Democrat's best asset. It's time to disavow him and move on.

When you challenge the Constitution itself, that is un-American. You can’t simply say, ‘I support the Constitution.’ You have to say, ‘I would oppose people who undercut it.’ If the current GOP presidential candidates don't repudiate Trump, I'm prepared to get in the race.

No American conservative can agree with Donald Trump's call to suspend the Constitution because of the results of the 2020 election. And all real conservatives must oppose his 2024 campaign for president.

How Washington responds to Jerusalem’s new government could materially affect Biden’s own foreign-policy legacy over what could be his last two years in office. Netanyahu is likely a man in a hurry with the potential to upend Biden's weak foreign policy.

China & Russia pose a growing nuclear danger. Both have made belligerent references to nuclear arms & offensive war. Yet the limited defenses America has built up have been consistently inadequate and are now simply not fit to meet that threat.

Why does Biden alienate Saudi Arabia? High gas prices are due to Biden’s own inflationary policies and restrictions on oil production. Biden should stop blaming Saudi Arabia and look in the mirror. Eliminating U.S. arms sales is the wrong approach.

When we look at the international threats looming, it puts Britain’s current political dustup in perspective. If govts cannot fend off external threats, stability means very little. And the impact of failing to deter Russia is small compared to China.

This is about as worthless an idea as you can have. Biden is willing to give a huge boost to Venezuela's dictator so he can lower gas prices for political gain. Like his negotiations with Iran, this embarrasses America and is a disastrous policy.
