As the Obama administration “quietly struggled to punish Russia,” it actually did nothing of substance at all.


Speeding and tailgating is now epidemic in Newton, Kan.

Serious, in-depth investigation into the extent of Russia’s cyberattacks on the 2016 elections, and now Trump wants to work with the Russians on a program to fight cyberattacks. Forget the man’s IQ and start judging his sanity.
