A roundup of editorials from the right.

1. The Dan Crenshaw Moment

From National Review:  "A liberal comic had gone too far. He had mocked a man who was maimed in a horrific IED attack, an attack that had taken the life of his interpreter and nearly blinded him for life. He mocked a courageous man's pain. And thus Crenshaw had attained the rarest position for a Republican politician: aggrieved-victim status. He was free to swing away."

2. Amazon's Great HQ2 Swindle

From The American Conservative: "under the guise of a multi-billion dollar development contest, Amazon successfully convinced the mayors and governors of 238 North American cities and regions to voluntarily surrender a treasure trove of information ranging from future infrastructure projects to land use patterns and everything else in between—all without being charged a dime."

3. How to Salvage Congress

From The Atlantic: "if you are among the 87 percent of people who are concerned about what is going on in Congress, then I have an important message for you: It's much worse than you think."
