Fox Opinion

The New York Times staff went into a meltdown because the paper committed the unspeakable atrocity of publishing an op-ed by a Republican senator on rioting tearing apart U.S. cities – so the Times apologized for allowing the expression of a conservative viewpoint.

Three big-name retired senior military leaders made headlines Tuesday and Wednesday when they sharply criticized President Trump’s leadership. There is nothing wrong with that – but their distinguished military service shouldn’t make their anti-Trump arguments immune from debate.

Shame on those who pretended that it did -- those who fell for the lie and those who knew better but played along because they are cowards.

Maybe the most important questions of all about the COVID-19 pandemic are: How lethal is the virus SARS-COV-2? Whom does it kill? Are the death counts accurate – and, if not, are they overstated or understated?

Foreign policy doesn’t stop for turmoil here at home. The U.S. can’t afford attention deficit disorder overseas. 

The United States is calmer, though still threatening, following days of rioting that spread with lightning speed across the nation, with murderous assaults on police officers and civilians and the ecstatic annihilation of businesses and symbols of the state.

Was the killing of George Floyd the sole cause of more than a week of unrest? Or was it the match that ignited dry timber?

President Trump has said, “We will stand with the family of George Floyd, with the peaceful protesters, and with every law-abiding citizen who wants decency, civility, safety and security." 

Former Defense Secretary James Mattis boasts some 7,000 books in his library. This makes the unbearable lightness of his public attack on President Trump that much more mysterious. Had Mattis done some reading first, he might not have penned his vacuous anti-Trump broadside in The Atlantic.

The New York Times, which haughtily claims it publishes “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” caved in to far-left political correctness Thursday. The paper decided it was wrong to publish an op-ed by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., that called for the military to be sent to U.S. cities to help local law enforcement deal with “rioters and looters.”

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is blurring the lines between protesters and looters.

In a politically charged case, it is more important, not less, to get the charges right.

Pandemic. Lockdown. Economic collapse. A senseless murder. Can 2020 gut-punch us anymore? Yes, riots in our cities and a debate about using our military to stop them.

Remember COVID-19? Owners of small businesses that have yet to open but are in danger of being smashed by rioters sure do.

The question before us now is: What do we want policing to look like going forward?

On Tuesday, Joe Biden gave a speech on the death of George Floyd that prompted many to sing his praises. But I couldn’t stop thinking about his record.  

Cynical media manipulators and unscrupulous politicians understand that racial strife -- race hatred -- is their path to power, even if it destroys the country.

What you hear in the media bears no resemblance to reality — not in police forces, and not in America.

We all watched the gut-wrenching video of a white Minneapolis police officer torturing and murdering a handcuffed black man on a public street.
