WASHINGTON -- It's so precious watching big-name journalists speak of the sanctity of the anonymity of the Ukrainian phone call whistleblower.

They say they're concerned that publishing the whistleblower's name will discourage other whistleblowers from coming forward. Funny, they didn't seem to care in 2010 when, thanks to WikiLeaks, diplomatic...Read more

WASHINGTON -- Maybe because she's from San Francisco, Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris believes she has license to police the speech of partisans on the right.

It's odd because, in many ways, President Donald Trump is more accessible than any modern ...Read more

WASHINGTON -- I covered President Bill Clinton's House impeachment and the Senate's vote not to convict him. I thought the House was right to impeach and the Senate right not to convict.

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump is right about San Francisco. It is, as he said, "a total disaster" that needs to clean up its act.
