What really happened in Jerusalem
Apr 2, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: When an American president so sympathetic to the Palestinian cause tells Mahmoud Abbas to stop obstructing peace with that phony settlement excuse, something important has happened. Abbas, unmasked and unhappy, knows this better than anyone.

Hail Armageddon
Mar 1, 2013 10:44 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: "The worst-case scenario for us," a leading anti-budget-cuts lobbyist told The Washington Post, "is the sequester hits and nothing bad really happens." Think about that. Worst case? That a government drowning in debt should cut back by 2.2 percent -- and the country survives.

The lesser of two evils on immigration
Feb 25, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: In the end, the only remaining vessel for enforcement is Marco Rubio's proposal. It is deeply flawed and highly imperfect. But given that the Obama alternative effectively signs away America's right to decide who enters the country, the choice between the two proposals on the table today is straightforward.

In defense of Obama's drone war
Feb 18, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: The nation's vexation over the morality and legality of President Obama's drone war has produced a salutary but hopelessly confused debate. Three categories of questions are being asked. They must be separated to be clearly understood.

Immigration: Getting it right
Feb 5, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: Enforcement followed by legalization is not just the political thing to do. It is the right thing to do -- an act both of national generosity and national interest.

Obama unbound
Jan 28, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: President Obama's mission is to redeem and resurrect the 50-year pre-Reagan liberal ascendancy. Accordingly, his second inaugural address, ideologically unapologetic and aggressive, is his historical marker, his self-proclamation as the Reagan of the left. If he succeeds in these next four years, he will have earned the title.

A new strategy for the GOP
Jan 18, 2013 8:36 AM - It has become conventional wisdom that Republicans are suffering an internal split that President Obama is successfully exploiting to neuter the Republican House. It is not true, however, that the Republican split is philosophical and fundamental. And that a hopelessly divided GOP is therefore headed for decline, perhaps irrelevance. In fact, the split is tactical, not philosophical; short-term, not fundamental. And therefore quite solvable.

The meaning of Hagel
Jan 15, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: Under the guise of centrist bipartisanship, it allows the president to leave the constrained first-term Obama behind and follow his natural Hagel-like foreign policy inclinations.

Return of the real Obama
Jan 9, 2013 5:00 AM - Columnist Charles Krauthammer: The old Obama is back. He must not be underestimated. He has deftly leveraged his class-war-themed election victory (a) to secure a source of funding (albeit still small) for the bloated welfare state, (b) to carry out an admirably candid bit of income redistribution and (c) to fracture the one remaining institutional obstacle to the rest of his ideological agenda.

The tension between public safety, liberty
Dec 20, 2012 2:41 PM - Every mass shooting has three elements: the killer, the weapon and the cultural climate. As soon as the shooting stops, partisans immediately pick their preferred root cause with corresponding pet panacea. Names are hurled, scapegoats paraded, prejudices vented. The argument goes nowhere. Let's be serious:
