(4) Ted Cruz and David Brooks at the edge of an abyss, by Marvin Olasky
My column in the current issue of WORLD Magazine asks whether many Americans see ourselves in a moment like that of Britain in 1940, when appeasement policies had failed.

Donald Trump successfully mixes deadliness and clownishness. I’m with Brooks in not liking what he calls “edge of the abyss” talk. The problem is that we may be at the edge of the abyss.
