Elbridge “Bridge” Colby is, as Donald Trump might say, straight out of central casting for a member of D.C.’s foreign policy elite. He has degrees from Harvard and Yale, a membership to Washington’s Metropolitan Club and the kind of coiffed hair and clipped accent that you’d expect from an American blue-blood. So pristine is his pedigree — his grandfather was head of the CIA — that a lightly fictionalized version of him appears in the New York Times columnist Ross Douthat’s memoir of his undergraduate years at Harvard, titled Privilege. But Colby, far from being a deep state darling, is...

As we witness the collapse of various mainstream narratives, especially those surrounding the U.S./NATO war with Russia in Ukraine, Americans should begin to reassess their understanding of U.S. national leadership.

For years, they have been misled by a non-stop propaganda campaign that is only now beginning to crumble.We are experiencing the death throes of...

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other federal politicians - including two Democrats and one Republican - have shelled out thousands in campaign payments to a Chinese foreign agent, a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records has found.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said he is undecided on whether he will vote to block Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) from sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, expressing concern about censorship of opposing views. “The reason I think a lot of Republicans want to kick Ilhan Omar off of the Foreign Affairs Committee is because they don’t like what she has to say,” Gaetz said on Newsmax Monday night. “I am undecided as of tonight as to whether or not I would vote to remove Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee, because it’s one thing to do dangerous things...

"I talk about food a lot, because it's one of the things that we have to have to get through the day," Scott explained. "What are our adversaries...

Joe Biden made a big deal of promising to fight for human rights as a critical part of his Presidential campaign: The United States is committed to a world in which human rights are protected, their defenders are celebrated, and those who commit human rights abuses are held accountable. Promoting respect for human rights is not something we can do alone, but is best accomplished working with our allies and partners across the globe. President Biden is committed to a foreign policy that unites our democratic values with our diplomatic leadership, and one that is centered on the defense of...

These are the top 4 cop shows I have watched more than once. A bit obscure and you won't find them on network tv. Violence, bad language, drug use, sex, and corruption, foreign and domestic.

Is anyone else getting phone calls to other countries on your bills? Is this the latest scam to use someone else's number to call wherever? I know they've been able to use other numbers that show up on Caller ID but didn't know they could bill to your number.
