When I was growing up, a popular song urged us to “see the pyramids along the Nile.” Problem is, the pyramids are in the desert at Giza, no water to be found. That has nothing to do with exciting news coming from Alexandria, Egypt, the nation’s second-largest city. Archaeologists there have been busy recovering statues, a partially preserved Sphinx, and […]
Donald Trump is playing dumb to the whole situation, but the FBI has raided the home and office of a prominent critic of the president, John Bolton, who used to be Trump 45’s National Security Advisor and is now a CNN commentator The aim of the raid was — catch this — to find any classified documents illegally obtained. Sound […]
President Trump has found his voice now that he’s handing off the pursuit of peace in Ukraine to Europe and Volodymyr Zelenskyy Trump almost even tipped his hand — that is, the hand he’s washed of the whole Ukraine mess — in a social media post today. He wrote: PLAY THE AUDIO BY PUSHING BUTTON BELOW “It is very hard, if […]
A New York appeals court has thrown out a $454 million civil fraud fine against Donald Trump and his organization, but the panel split on whether the president had actually committed fraud. “While the injunctive relief ordered by the court is well crafted to curb defendants’ business culture, the court’s disgorgement order, which directs that defendants pay nearly half a […]
While Donald Trump spent a virtually silent and invisible day at the White House, Sergey Lavrov — Putin’s foreign minister — issued some rather revealing comments about the president’s recent summit with European leaders and their plans for Ukrainian security guarantees once the fighting is over.

It was hard to tell who was moderating the European leaders’ conference at the White House on Monday, Donald Trump or Vladimir Putin. At one point, Trump even interrupted a conversation with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine to call Putin in Russia. While the Europeans envisioned a ceasefire as the next step in the peace process, Trump stuck to his Putinesque […]
I previously gave the possibility of a summit involving President Trump, President Zelenskyy and President Putin a 5 percent chance of ever occurring, and I stand by that prediction as I view the meeting today of Zelenskyy and European leaders with Trump at the White House. Zelenskyy appeared to adopt an appreciative, buddy-buddy approach to Trump, but President Macron of […]

As Volodymyr Oleksandrovych Zelenskyy and leaders from the EU, NATO and several European countries head to Washington, D.C. for a round of talks with President Trump and his team, the White House has gone on the offensive to show that something was gained from the showdown in Alaska. Steve Witkoff, the Trump envoy-at-large who was present at the summit, told […]
President Trump is moving quickly to do a Pontius Pilate and wash his hands of the war in Ukraine. He has invited Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy to the White House on Monday to put in motion another summit.
