Like much of the world, I watched Notre Dame Cathedral burn Monday. And like so many others, I watched in shock and sorrow. How else to describe the scarring of a major city. A center of Western culture, up in flames. It was traumatic.

Today’s political environment rarely lends itself to bipartisanship and cooperation. So when congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle come together to deliver a legislative victory for Americans, it needs to be reported fairly and honestly. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen. Sadly, this week’s reporting on the Taxpayer First Act is one example.
President Trump scored a win on Friday, when a federal appeals court gave a temporary green light to his Remain-in-Mexico program.

As Washington negotiates with Beijing to end the tariff standoff, the United States must also demand the Chinese government stop its sinicization of religion, a program designed to make all religious groups extinct.
As Callista and I sat watching the terrible fire in Paris that was burning the Cathedral of Notre Dame, our thoughts went back to the many times we had visited Paris.
