HOUSTON, Texas — The Democrats’ blue wave didn’t quite capture the great state of Texas, where Beto O’Rourke lost a close race to Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott cruised easily to a second term as governor. But further down the ballot, especially in the big cities, blue was the only color. Nowhere was […]

In political science classes in the decades to come, Veterans Day Weekend 2018 is bound to be popular essay topic in the course on the Narcissist Presidency.
