LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hollywood its own worst enemy
Hollywood, the land of (non-fat) milk and (free-range) honey, make-believe, mendacity, multi-million-dollar homes and PhD candidates in social issues, has any number of residents who, before the presidential election, vowed to self-deport should anyone other than Hillary Clinton win the election.

Left inconsolable after election loss
First the Never Trumpers, now the Never Ever Trumpers. Once Donald Trump became the Republican Party's nominee for president last July, the Never Trumpers vowed they would not vote for him, and some say they actually stuck to their pledge. Published November 21, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Time to unite behind Donald Trump
Donald J. Trump is the president-elect, and as expected the Democrats and liberals are doing their best to deter him from carrying out his campaign agenda. The organized protests, condemnation of his early nominees and the continued false accusations of racism will continue. All Republicans should be objective and supportive of Mr. Trump's nominees, even if some do not meet all their criteria. Published November 21, 2016
The debt to Mitch McConnell
No other consideration drove conservatives to Donald Trump like the prospect of a U.S. Supreme Court dedicated to preserving the Constitution as it was written and honored for centuries. The Donald promised to appoint judges in the mold of the late Antonin Scalia to the seat vacated by Mr. Scalia's death. Published November 20, 2016
Hillary, Obama’s legacy, the media among election losers
The No. 1 loser this year was Hillary Clinton, of course, but we might shed a tear for the man who stocked his warehouse with women's pants suits in all colors and sizes, expecting millions of women to make a run on the most unflattering ladies' garment dreamed up since Eve discarded her fig leaf for a bearskin.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: The people check the president
I often agree whole-heartedly with Deborah Simmons' pieces in The Washington Times, but I offer a correction to her Nov. 17 piece, "Back to American Civics 101" (Web). In her effort to educate, she writes that "the president governs, Congress checks the president and the U.S. Supreme Court checks both." Published November 20, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Nuclear policy needs Europe
Robert Monroe's op-ed, "Before the next mushroom cloud" (Nov. 17), highlights the dangers of nuclear proliferation and calls for the incoming Trump administration to take a lead within the United Nations to overcome the danger. Published November 20, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Swamp draining indeed in order
From Greece this week, President Obama cited economic anxiety as the reason for the Democrats' 2016 election loss. Published November 17, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: James Comey a patsy in Hillary Clinton affair
In "The Federal Bureau of Political Investigation" (Web, Nov. 16) Andrew P. Napolitano calls FBI Director James Comey's July 5 press conference, during which Mr. Comey said Hillary Clinton "would not be prosecuted," and his reopening and subsequent re-closing of that same investigation "unlawful." Published November 17, 2016
Democrats make a sharp left
If the liberal Democrats had lost just the White House, and won everything else, they might have been content to blame Hillary Clinton and her manifold deficiencies. Published November 17, 2016
Paul Ryan tries to save Republicans from earmarking suicide
The Democrats lost the 2016 elections because they weren't listening, and treated voters with legitimate concerns as racists, bigots and deplorables. Some Republicans in Congress aren't listening now. Published November 17, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Stop punishing males
Enough. After the decades of damage they have done to anything male, Hillary Clinton, radical feminism and political correctness need to go ("'It's not her fault!': Hillary Clinton looks for excuses, ignores her party's failings," Web, Nov. 16). Published November 16, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hillary Clinton mocked life and lost
Now that the 2016 presidential election is over, the pollsters and pundits continue to sift through statistics and polls in a desperate attempt to figure out where they went wrong. Published November 16, 2016
Facebook looks to ditch fake news
Half the world is getting information, sometimes labeled "news," from the internet. At the fingertips of 3.6 billion people there's a repository of knowledge so vast that it might as well be infinite. Self-appointed gatekeepers are cutting the flow down to a manageable size, but how they trim determines its shape. It's sometimes delivered in odd shapes. Published November 16, 2016
President Obama’s ‘helpful’ exit
Barack Obama yearns to be the great explainer. He opened his first term with a tour of the Middle East to explain Islam to the world, and now he's finishing his second term with a final, abbreviated world tour trying to explain Donald Trump to everybody. He got the lesson about Islam wrong, and he's spreading misinformation now about the meaning of the American election. Published November 16, 2016
Dakota Access pipeline is necessary
The untouched vistas of the Northern Great Plains are a national treasure and are sacred to American Indians. But more than memories of home on the range are encouraging activists to block the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Published November 15, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Hillary Clinton’s loss not gender matter
There are many who claim that Hillary Clinton's election loss was a matter of gender bias. That is simply untrue. To paraphrase Shakespeare, the fault is not in her gender but in herself. Mrs. Clinton's campaign made some strategic errors, but fundamentally she was rejected because of her conduct, corruption and lack of credibility. Published November 15, 2016
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Sugar, not fat, the real enemy
Big soda -- and any big food company that depends heavily on 'big carb' -- is starting to feel the heat ("How to stop soda taxes," Web, Nov. 14). Published November 15, 2016
The Obama legacy
A president's legacy is shaped by his deeds, not by his wishes, hopes and dreams. A president can always hope, but there is nothing Barack Obama can do now to change a single line of the work of the moving finger. Mr. Obama is embarked this week on his final foreign tour, and before he left he drew his own view of the Obama years, but his own view is all it is. Published November 15, 2016

It's a long journey from Leavenworth to Washington, but Andrea Hutchins thinks the experience and skills she first gained in her Kansas hometown will serve her well in her new post overseeing the marketing of The Washington Times in the digital age. Published November 15, 2016
