Super Tuesday is all but over. They are still voting in a couple of western states, but the voters have spoken from Virginia to Oklahoma and from Maine to Texas, and the outcome is already abundantly clear. Donald Trump won, and Nikki Haley lost. There is no gray area and there are no silver linings. Trump’s victories were universally expected.

It wouldn’t...

Nikki Haley is on the warpath. Haley wants to blow up the mullahs in Iran like Soleimani. Take them out with a missile strike. That ought to calm things down in the Middle East!

That’s the way… Brian Kilmeade: In their...

Up until now, I've never been a Nikki Haley-hater. She did a good job as governor of South Carolina, and as President Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, and she has a reasonably good take on the issues, based on her GOP debate performances. If Trump were one way or another taken out of the presidential race, I've been all ears for her as an alternative. But now she's jumped the shark. In an interview with NBC's Kristin Welker, Haley had this to say about a New York jury awarding E. Jean Carroll a mighty $83.3 million for defamation in...
