A few weeks after the FBI searched Donald Trump's residence at his Palm Beach resort, Fox News host Steve Doocy, a longtime ally of the former president, posed a question that remains unanswered. "Why did he have all that secret stuff at Mar-a-Lago?" Doocy wondered during an interview with South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. Trump's response—that the "secret stuff" was not really secret because he declassified it before he left office—is both implausible and, in the context of the potential crimes that the FBI is investigating, legally irrelevant.

Russia Confirms 'Sporadic' Contacts With US On Nuclear Weapons Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that the US and Russia have had “sporadic” contact over the issue of nuclear arms as tensions are soaring between the world’s largest nuclear-armed powers.

When Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a partial mobilization last week, he warned that Russia could use nuclear weapons to protect its…

"Chinese imports have likely even exceeded the purchases made when the trade was not…

Ironically, he was sanctioned by Washington in 2019 over his complicity in numerous human rights violations. His crimes included a reported involvement in the mass execution of thousands of Iranian political prisoners in 1988. His arrival in New York raised several inquiries and concerns, including questions about who…
