\n From the left: Dems Just Got Trapped<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amid the chaos and confusion of recent riots, Andrew Sullivan declares at his blog: \u201cHere\u2019s one thing I have absolutely no conflict about. Rioting and lawlessness are evil.\u201d States exist to protect us from disorder, \u201cand any civil authority that permits, condones or dismisses violence, looting and mayhem in the streets disqualifies itself.\u201d Which makes it all the more damning that the recent Dem convention offered \u201cclose to nothing about ending this lawlessness\u201d \u2014 nothing except \u201csilence,\u201d that is. \u201cWhen a political party finds itself so wedded to a new and potent ideology it cannot call out violence when it sees it, then it is walking straight into a trap.\u201d Ditto for a party that \u201credescribes\u201d the nation \u201cas a slaveocracy and endorses racist books that foment the most egregious stereotypes about \u2018whiteness.\u2019\u200a\u201d Be careful what you play with, Dems: \u201cMost ordinary people, who love their country and are mostly proud of its past, will rightly balk.\u201d<\/p>\n

From the right: Left Ignores Science<\/a> on Weed<\/strong><\/p>\n

At The Washington Examiner, Kyle Reynolds blasts Democrats for pushing \u201cmarijuana legalization and decriminalization policies\u201d while \u00adoffering rationales that contradict scientific findings. Joe Biden, for \u00adexample, justifies his support for legalizing medical marijuana by claiming it\u2019s not \u201ca gateway drug\u201d \u2014 despite warnings of just the opposite from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institute of Drug Abuse. \u201cMore than half of new illicit drug users begin with marijuana,\u201d NIDA found. Weed addicts are \u201cthree times more likely to be addicted to heroin,\u201d the CDC reports. It\u2019s \u201ctruly disconcerting\u201d that Democrats are \u201cmoving with such force to decriminalize and legalize.\u201d<\/p>\n

Conservative: Behind the Emboldened Radicals<\/strong><\/p>\n

As rioting rages across US cities, many Americans struggle to explain their duration \u2014 which in Portland\u2019s case has now outstrip<\/a>ped \u201cKid Rock\u2019s marriage to Pamela Anderson,\u201d snarks James Jay Carafano at Fox News<\/a>. One reason is that \u201cwe are facing a capable enemy\u201d: The rioters are aggressive and quick to shift their tactics, and they rely on \u201csocial<\/a> networking and media strategies\u201d to communicate and shape media framing. Another reason: \u201cLocal officials have failed us.\u201d From Portland to Chicago to New York, blue leaders refuse to \u201caddress public safety,\u201d in some cases even \u00adencouraging disorder. \u201cThey have hamstrung local police and abjured cooperation with state and federal enforcement.\u201d The ultimate lesson: \u201cThis won\u2019t stop and, indeed, will get worse if everyday Americans don\u2019t start standing up more and saying no more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Foreign desk: Trump\u2019s Peace Dividends<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recent Team Trump-brokered peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates could \u201crecast the balance of power in the Middle East,\u201d cheers Daniel Hoffman in The Washington Examiner. The accord takes Israel one step closer to regional normalization, while \u201cAbu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed \u2014 popularly known as MBZ \u2014 \u00adenhanced the UAE\u2019s influence, positioning it as a key player, if not an arbiter, in future peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.\u201d Meanwhile, the deal further isolates an already-embattled Tehran regime suffering from a sanctions- and COVID-battered economy, all while strengthening America\u2019s position in the region as arms-dealer and principal outside power. \u201cIf Israel can strike UAE-like deals with countries such as Sudan, Bahrain and Oman, that would only increase the \u00admomentum for an effectual alliance against Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n

Culture critic: The Roots of Our Disunity<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s impossible to imagine our next president, whoever he is, summoning America to unity. \u201cHow did we get here?\u201d George Weigel asks in First Things. In short, because we lost religion and a public moral culture. \u201cThe liberal institutions of a modern democracy .\u2009.\u2009. rely for their credibility .\u2009.\u2009.\u2002on cultural foundations those liberal institutions cannot, by themselves, create or defend.\u201d Those foundations are spiritual, rooted in beliefs about the inherent dignity of all people. And our \u201csoul-withering secularization\u201d has utterly withered them. \u201cAbsent those truths,\u201d not even the most magnanimous leadership in history could save us.<\/p>\n
