An emotional Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., attempted to blame critics – and even President Donald Trump’s own off-the-cuff agility – for the backlash she received for her response to a question at the recent Munich Security Conference on American defense of Taiwan in the event of a Chinese invasion. ‘If you think I don’t understand foreign policy, because of out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I pause to think about one of the...
President Donald Trump called on Netflix to fire board member Susan Rice immediately or ‘pay the consequences.’ Trump’s comments followed remarks Rice made Thursday on the ‘Stay Tuned with Preet’ podcast, hosted by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. During the interview, Rice warned that corporations she said had ‘taken a knee’ to Republican pressure should not expect forgiveness from Democrats if they return to power. ‘This is not going to be an instance of forgive...
‘I can’t believe they just left!’ ‘Why didn’t they just stay until they fixed it?’ ‘Why didn’t they make them stay?’ I must have fielded forty questions last week from colleagues, friends and acquaintances. Even reporters and editorial staff from other news organizations. And that’s to say nothing of a few Congressional aides. Everyone had the same question. They were in disbelief that lawmakers just abandoned the Capitol a week ago Thursday and left the...
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provided an update Sunday morning, saying TSA PreCheck is operating normally Sunday following reports that it had been suspended amid the partial government shutdown.

Turkey’s massive military, trade, Islamic diplomacy and education expansion into Africa is, some analysts say, undermining U.S. goals, as Ankara capitalizes on wars and conflicts on the continent. Experts claim Turkey’s military sales appear to be based on maximizing profit, without worrying about what the arms sold do to the balance of power, particularly in Jihadist areas such as the Sahel. Recently, multiple reports claimed Turkish companies have sold military drones to both sides in the 3-year-long conflict...
President Donald Trump will deliver his first official State of the Union address of his second term Tuesday night before a joint session of Congress at the Capitol, as viewers watch for viral moments and headline-grabbing exchanges like those that have defined past speeches.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will suspend TSA PreCheck and Global Entry beginning Sunday as a partial government shutdown continues. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Saturday blamed Democrats for shutting down the government, saying they were causing ‘serious real world consequences.’ ‘This is the third time that Democrat politicians have shut down this department during the 119th Congress,’ Noem said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. ‘Shutdowns have serious real world consequences, not...
Most U.S. data breach disclosures explain what information was leaked and any protective steps available to consumers. At the federal level, the Federal Trade Commission advises that after a breach involving sensitive personal information, consumers may consider placing a credit freeze to help prevent new credit accounts from being opened in their name. Many people place that credit freeze and assume they’re protected. But a credit freeze is not a comprehensive block against identity theft....
President Donald Trump turned up the heat on progressive Democrats during his public remarks Thursday, including slamming New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her ‘horrible’ efforts at diplomacy during the Munich Security Conference. ‘Her performance was horrible,’ Trump told the media aboard Air Force One on the way to an event in Rome, Georgia, Thursday. ‘I was surprised, actually. I didn’t know she was stupid.’ Ocasio-Cortez joined the Munich Security Conference last weekend, and faced...
In 1839, not long before President Donald Trump’s favorite president, Andrew Jackson, died, an admirer offered him an ancient roman sarcophagus, thought to have once held the remains of an emperor. Jackson, declined the offer, saying, ‘my republican feelings and principles forbid it.’ There may be a lesson here.
