VIDEOAlger Hiss 2.0. The State Department's architect of the disastrous Iran deal has turned out to likely be working as an intelligence asset for the mullahs. Robert Malley, the spiritual son of State Department traitor Alger Hiss. It was no secret as to where Malley's sympathies lay since you can hear him for yourself speaking lovingly about Hamas. Amazingly, despite Malley having being busted months ago, the Biden regime still went ahead with the horrible Iran deal, giving them BILLIONS of dollars, despite the fact that the deal was brokered by a known Hamas sympathizing Alger Hiss.

Iran’s oil exports have hit a five-year high in recent months as the country sells more to China and other countries, adding large volumes of discounted crude to a global energy market already struggling amid concerns over demand.

Hillary Clinton is one of the biggest opponents of big business, especially of The Trump Organization. In 1996, Donald Trump found himself being challenged the same way most American risk takers are challenged when he overextended his business. The Taj Mahal, the Trump Shuttle airline, and the purchase of a megayacht eventually led to the company being $1 billion in debt. In a situation where most businessmen give up and lose their drive, Trump doubled down and nearly tripled his net worth over the next 10 years, which was the motivation for his 1997 book The Art of the Comeback....

It's a rare day when positive news surfaces from the frontlines of Iraq's post-occupation government--or from its troubled economy. However, a U.S. Iraq inspector general report that concluded this week that $6.6 billion in shrink-wrapped cash the U.S. government previously feared had gone missing in the chaotic early days of the Iraq occupation has in fact been safely accounted for.
