New York Times national security correspondent David Sanger fulminated against President Trump’s 30-day suspension of entry into the United States for Europeans: “It’s China’s Fault, Trump Says.

If the pack of pundits guesses you have no chance to get the nomination, they proclaim you a “zombie.” In the current design, the media elites still have more power than the voters to decide who wins. For people who claim to defend “democracy” from dying, journalists have no reservations about rushing…
