"The trilateral meeting must take place; it is undoubtedly being postponed because the U.S. is currently focused on Iran," Zelensky said about a...

We have rightfully labeled the Democrat party as the “party of death”—it is their policies that have facilitated the killing of millions of innocent lives. Yet, with the latest compromises from the Republican National Committee (RNC),...
