I mean no disrespect for Mr. Pence, who???s loyally served the president and the nation. But he???s given Mr. Trump all the help he can. He inspired his fellow evangelical Christians to take a chance in 2016. But in 2020 they???ll already be repelled by the Democrats??? embrace of infanticide. Mr. Trump???s greater obstacle to re-election comes from politically moderate suburban women, many of whom see him as divisive.

If you buy one of many new makes and models of car today, you might be surprised to find that, as a standard feature, it can do something your previous car couldn???t: It will take over when it thinks you???re making a mistake.
In the coming years, many cars will do more than that, even driving mostly by themselves, at least on highways. And not just luxury models such as the latest Audi A8 or Cadillac CT6, but something as mainstream as a Nissan Rogue.

The GOP must not take Georgia, North Carolina, Texas or Florida for granted.

That sounds like campaign hyperbole. After all, in the last five presidential races, Democrats lost those five states 22 of 25 times, carrying North Carolina only once, in 2008, and Florida twice, in 2008 and 2012. In 2016, President Trump won North Carolina by 3.7 points, Georgia by 5.1, Texas by 9 and South Carolina by 14.3. Even when Mr. Biden was on the ballot with President Obama in 2012, they lost North Carolina by 2 points, Georgia by 7.8, South Carolina by 10.5 and Texas by 15.8.

Democrats in 2015 imposed a 20% surtax on top of the state???s 7.5% corporate rate, effectively raising the tax rate to 9%. They also increased the top income tax rate to 6.99% from 6.7% on individuals earning more than $500,000. The state estimated the corporate tax hike would raise $481 million over two years, but revenue increased by merely $323 million???$161 million a year???according to a new Yankee Institute report.

You Have the Right to Bare Arms, but Why Ink Them?
I shaved my youthful beard and threw away my ugly tie. What would I have done with a tattoo?

The tattoos may be discreet and coy and subtle, winking from the deltoid, or from halfway up the calf; they may be exotic and cryptic and hieroglyphic, or they may have nothing more interesting to offer than the clich?? of a skull. They may be sweepingly narrative, covering the chest, shoulders and back with constellations and galaxies, or with epic scenes only a little less ambitious than an 18th-century canvas by Jacques-Louis David: Someday I expect to see his ???Oath of the Horatii??? inked across a guy???s chest, armpit to armpit.

Opinion: Admiral Faller: Cuba 'Protecting' Maduro 'Mafia'
Admiral Craig Faller, U.S. Southern Command chief, discusses the influence of Cuba, China, Russia, and Iran in embattled Venezuela on May 1, 2019, during a meeting of the House Armed Services Committee. Image: Reuters
Venezuela is occupied by Cuba and Russia and by Iranian proxies. China is also a Maduro ally though it relies on commercial relations to sink its claws into the country. These imperialists may not share a common vision. But they have a common interest, which is to redraw the geopolitical map of the Western Hemisphere to minimize U.S. influence.

An Ethanol Sop to Farmers
The EPA allows E15 blends in the summer to offset tariff damage.

Despite dubious legal authority, the Trump Administration has now granted E15 this pass to pollute during peak smog season. And it might not stop there. Geoff Cooper, ethanol lobbyist at the Renewable Fuels Association, praised the decision as ???a key that finally unlocks the door to greater demand opportunities in the long term.???
