Sen. Rand Paul: President Trump Is Right to Meet Putin

In Politico Magazine, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explains he is thankful that President Donald J. Trump is willing to go against the political elite in Washington to keep the lines of communication with Russia open. “Politicizing international affairs is a dangerous game, but that hasn’t stopped far too many in Washington, who seem to have forgotten that a vital part of keeping America safe and secure is avoiding war through strong and consistent diplomacy, from playing politics,” Sen. Paul notes.

This is a stark departure from his predecessor,” the editors write.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation would indeed move the Supreme Court in a conservative direction, Jess Bravin and Brent Kendall write in The Wall Street Journal. “Judge Kavanaugh’s connection with nearly every justice, and his reputation as a straight-shooter even among those who disagree with him, suggests he would make the ride as smooth as possible.”

“U.S. retail sales rose solidly in June, boosted by increases in purchases of motor vehicles and a range of other goods, cementing expectations for robust economic growth in the second quarter,” Reuters reports.
