The scrubbing of government websites is venal. The impact on democracy and science is unfathomable.

The hosannas for Carter are preposterous. This is a man whose incompetence helped birth the Reagan era and whose blind spots led him to hugging Khaled Meshal. In other words, nice guy or not, this is a man who did tremendous damage.

If Assad can fall, so can the Iranian theocracy, so can Putin. It will be a tragedy if Trump appeases in Syria like Obama did.

Dispatch from the Department of Obvious: We had a historic economic collapse that Obama didn’t do nearly enough about.
