"When you are studying any matter or considering any philosophy, ask yourself only what are the facts and what is the truth that the facts bear out.

Wednesday I told you a truce is a countdown. China set the timer at sixty days.
Last week I said it looked like we could be stealing about $11 billion from Venezuela. The question I had after learning that was, if it isn't going back to Venezuela, where is it going? So I followed the money.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 last year that Mexico could not sue American gun makers out of existence.
Mexico didn't walk away – it hired an American group to finish the job from inside Washington.
