Trump claims Putin promised to stop bombing Ukraine’s cities due to extreme cold. Right from the start, that statement is a red flag, isn’t it? The very beginning sets off alarm bells.

It makes you wonder how anyone could possibly take the claim seriously, because we know where both men stand with the truth.… Continue reading

The sheer audacity of it all is almost comical. Imagine alienating your allies, slapping tariffs on everything in sight, and then watching your trade deficit balloon.… Continue reading

Warner suggested the latter would show a lack of fitness for office and undermine the nonpartisan intelligence community.
