President Trump issued a blunt warning to Iran on Monday. Attack American ships, he said, and the response will be devastating. Speaking with Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst, the president said Iran would be “blown off the face of the Earth” if it moves against U.S. vessels operating under Project Freedom, the new American-led mission to secure shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

It takes a special sort of nerve to take a bow for the investigation uncovering the mess you presided over. Tim Walz tried it this week. The Minnesota governor took to social media to suggest that federal raids on more than 20 Minneapolis locations — part of a sweeping probe into fraud allegedly tied to largely Somali-owned businesses — had been triggered because his state agencies “caught irregular behavior and reported it.” A nice line, delivered with the practiced ease of a man who has decided that confidence is a substitute for accuracy. FBI Director Kash Patel was not in
