The trove of some 3,600 files, mostly from the FBI and CIA, were part of the collection assembled and sealed by the Archives, on the condition that they all be made public by October 2017. But there’s a catch: According to the same law, President Donald Trump has the ability to block the release of any or all of the documents—if he certifies that keeping them secret is a...

Dominique Strauss-Kahn, naturally, isn't attending this year, and his likely successor Christine Lagarde is in China, but the Bilderberg Conference which kicks off in the Swiss resort of St. Moritz on Thursday retains its conspiratorial chic and pulling power. The attendee list of Bilderberg is still pretty much the only thing that is not a closely guarded secret, as 120 of the world's richest and most powerful people meet behind closed doors, this time at the Suvretta House hotel in Switzerland, a venue which not only boasts a "fairytale castle" design, but also its own "Teddy World." U.K. Prime Minister...

The Leftist radio hag, Randi Rhodes, had callers suggesting that the Bush folks knew about Kerik's troubles, and nominated him - TO EMBARRASS RUDY. Randi didn't seem to dismiss the idea. If this was really a Karl Rove plot, as these leftists claim, then I'm applauding. WE DON'T NEED RUDY, A PRO-ABORT LIB, AS GOP NOMINEE IN 08. That would elect Hillary as sure as I'm typing here. Kerik's sordid life may have spared us from having Rudy, his sponsor, as a disastrous GOP nominee. Thank you Kerik! Thank you, Karl Rove (if you were sly enough to have intenionally...

These folks would not have been surprised by the president’s outrageous announcement on January 7 or his remarks the following week at the Summit of the...
