“Solo” is not the “Star Wars” movie you’re looking for. If you’re expecting the unwatchable aftermath of the pre-production drama that has become the standard for Star Wars standalone films, you’ll be shockingly disappointed. “Solo” works. Very well, actually. And it serves as a testament to the risk that Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy made with a very late-in-the-game director switch from […]
YET ANOTHER American school shooting — national tragedies that are averaging more than one a week this year, according to CNN. Yet another expression of condolences — but no congressional action.

FROM LAMBASTING the Obama-era nuclear deal with Iran to embracing the opening of a U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem — while also racing to tweet-announce a now-imperiled nuclear summit with North Korea — President Trump’s brand of showmanship as global diplomacy (a.k.a. “diplotainment”) has been on full-plumage display. And behind such a parade of loudly touted […]
