Quick Summary

This opinion piece argues that President Trump should use the next six weeks to purge his administration of potential corruption before Democrats launch investigations. The author notes that while some officials like Kristi Noem, Corey Lewandowski, and Kimberly Guilfoyle have already been sidelined or sacked for self-enriching behavior, more "house-cleaning" is necessary to counter political attacks. The text suggests that new chief of staff Stephen Miller is well-positioned to act as a sheriff to organize the White House before January 3.

If lawmakers insist on flouting the laws of economics, New York’s housing stock will crumble more, and both landlords and tenants will suffer even more.
The White House would be wise to use the next six weeks getting a jump on spring cleaning ahead of Democrats’ promised investigations into alleged administration corruption.
Will Democrats moderate on border security?
Such reforms are “nothing to fear” for “effective unions,” but could be “be the only way out” for trapped workers.
So kids who might learn a lesson after a low-level mistake don’t — and are more likely to make worse ones, all too often until someone ends up dead.
Even before the last polls closed, House Oversight Committee Chairman-to-be Robert Garcia posted “LAWYER UP” — warning that any and every Trump official could face investigation, public inquisition and potential prison.
Beijing’s apparent “honeypot” operation against Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang is fresh proof China’s rulers will stop at nothing to win the AI race — yet America’s anti-progress left will surely try to use the scandal to cripple the US industry.

At least some Trump administration folks, for example, keep falling for Moscow’s claims that Ukraine is about to collapse: It proved untrue over a year ago, when insiders first suggested it to us, and it’s not so now. Nor has Vladimir Putin shown any real goodwill by freeing Stephan Hubbard, an American imprisoned and tortured on trumped-up charges, nor by going along with First Lady Melania Trump’s local ceasefire around Oleshky. Putin can (and will) grab more hostages as he pleases; the pause at Oleshky doesn’t help Kyiv, just allow some innocents to escape the front. Meanwhile, Washington has recently waived Graham Act sanctions and suspended diesel sanctions on Moscow without the Kremlin giving in on anything. Putin’s ill will is on permanent display in his relentless terror-by-air campaign deliberately targeting Ukraine’s civilian population, including a focus on knocking out power so as many innocents as possible freeze this winter. President Donald Trump may be “determined to bring an end” to the Ukraine war, as special envoy Jared Kushner put it Monday, but Putin is the one who started it nearly five years ago and has refused to seriously entertain any peace short of his victim’s surrender.
