Yesterday was quite the day for headlines — from military shake-ups to foreign-policy gambles to federal agencies throwing elbows — and each story points to the same underlying truth: America desperately needs clarity, character, and courage from its leaders.

America Doesn’t Need More Drama; It Needs Adults in the Room
If there’s a unifying theme in Washington lately, it’s this: everyone wants accountability, just not for themselves. Whether it’s a shaky ethics probe, a cell-phone-records carve-out, a D.C.
