Froma Harrop: May you be healthy and covered in 2019
A federal judge in Texas just threw out the Affordable Care Act root and branch. If the decision were to survive legal challenges, an estimated 17 million Americans could lose their health coverage.
Mona Charen: Collusion is possible
It has become an article of faith in some quarters on the right -- well, most -- that Robert Mueller's investigation has found no evidence of collusion with Russia and has accordingly shifted gears to process crimes like lying to the FBI or obstruction of justice. Having decided that this must be true, many have called for Mueller to wrap it up.
Marc Dion: I Won't Gloat. I Won't Gloat.
As the toothed trap closes on Donald Trump, he contemplates going coyote, and chewing through his own leg, leaving it behind and limping off into the underbrush to either heal or grow a new one.
Larry Elder: Mueller probe: If convictions equals success, Whitewater was a triumph
President Donald Trump-haters salivated over special counsel Robert Mueller's recent filings on ex-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort and Trump former lawyer/"fixer" Michael Cohen.
Robert Koehler: The lost and the entitled
When I popped open the old laptop, the Geek Squad guy said maybe I should dust it off.
Patrick Buchanan: How democracy is losing the world

Never pass a school bus while it is loading or unloading students.
Jiben Roy: The natural process is the answer. Is it?
Recently H.W. Bush died at the age of 94. Our 41st president had a wonderful long active life, which we all cherish. He even had fun skydiving at age 90.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: Bush 41's vision of 'a kinder, gentler nation' is gone with him
On the last night of the Republican National Convention in 1988, the candidate sought to impart to the country a vision of the America it could be.
Patrick J. Buchanan: Who lost the world Bush 41 left behind?
George H.W. Bush was America's closer. Called in to pitch the final innings of the Cold War, Bush 41 presided masterfully over the fall of the Berlin Wall, the unification of Germany, the liberation of 100 million Eastern Europeans and the dissolution of the Soviet Union into 15 independent nations.
Froma Harrop: Why Barbara Bush is so high up in George H.W.'s obituaries
Rarely has a president been identified so closely with his wife. That Barbara Bush never pursued a big-league career made her high profile even more remarkable. Nor did she fashion herself into an icon of elegance and glamour. She rose to prominence for simply being the partner-in-life of George H.W. Bush.
Marc Dion: Stop taking Donald Trump's picture
As a columnist who writes some pretty un-pretty things about President Donald Trump, I'm about to briefly leave the pack of wolves howling for his death.
