This disruption could not have come at a worse time for Ohioans. The governor is expected to release his budget proposal next week. This freeze injects an unprecedented level of uncertainty into the already complex process and jeopardizes programs everyday Ohioans depend on — not in some abstract future, but today.

For too long, the U.S. has hoped that sustained engagement would convince Pakistan to modify its behavior. That hope has been unsubstantiated. Washington should focus its diplomacy and limited financial resources on other South Asian nations, where it can expect some return.

The letter K has always jolted me. It seems out of place compared to the other letters in the alphabet.

I had to laugh at an article in the Wall Street Journal a couple of days ago. Its theme, but not its title, was the same as mine above. Of course, President Trump is going to do what he said he would, that is why we voted for him.
