Column: The Green New Deal means giant tax increases
With her FAQ, Ocasio-Cortez has inadvertently exposed the neo-socialist lie that you can get something for nothing. The Democratic Party’s embrace of that lie is going to get President Trump re-elected.
Thiessen: Trump’s big play for the political center
He reached across the aisle, appealed to persuadable voters in the center and asked them to consider his reasonable proposals.
Thiessen: Mueller probe could be a disaster — for Democrats
Impeachment would not only raise Trump’s approval with the very suburban voters Democrats just peeled away from the GOP in the 2018 midterms, but it would also energize his base as never before.
Thiessen: Suddenly, the Reformation makes perfect sense
If Vigano is right, it means the corruption in the Catholic Church has reached not just the highest levels of Roman Curia but the papacy itself.
Thiessen: Where is the outrage about Clinton’s links to Russia?
The Russians are not stupid. They were preparing for the prospect of a Clinton presidency, and they played both sides.
Thiessen: The hypocrisy of the Democratic Russia hawks

Thiessen: Obama deceived with Iran deal
When it comes to the Iran nuclear deal, the Obama administration increasingly appears to have been a bottomless pit of deception.
Marc A. Thiessen: It isn’t Cabinet’s job to be a ‘check’ on the President
Trump faces tough decisions in the months ahead. On North Korea, after a quarter-century of presidents of both parties kicking the can down the road, we finally have run out of road.
Thiessen: Liberals and conservatives are not enemies
I’m a rock-ribbed conservative who wants Republicans to keep control of Congress. But I’m not unhappy that Republican state Rep. Rick Saccone appears to have lost the special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District.
Thiessen: Protect public workers from unions’ coercion
Liberals say conservatives are trying to use the court to break the power of public sector unions. But if the only way they can maintain their political power is through coercion, then they do not deserve that power in the first place.
Thiessen: The GOP tax reform used to be extremely unpopular. Not anymore.
Many voters are going to be pleasantly surprised when they discover their taxes are being reduced thanks to President Trump and Republican lawmakers.
The FBI’s scandalous attempt to block the Nunes memo
The only way to restore that trust is full transparency.
