Russia

CBS News mocked Trump in 2018 along with the German UN delegation who laughed at him for warning about reliance on Russian natural gas.

When they announced the death of the last dictator of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, the liberal media elite broke out the valentines, giving Gorbachev all the credit for tearing down the Iron Curtain of communism. Ronald Reagan dared Gorbachev to tear down the wall, and Gorbachev is painted as a “towering international hero” for just letting it happen. Media liberals can't give Reagan…

WASHINGTON -- Back in the days when George H.W. Bush resided in the White House, he told me rather cryptically that I would be getting an invitation to the White House. A few days later I had luncheon with his head of the CIA, Bob Gates, one of the brightest lights that I have ever known in government. Bob wasted no time getting down to business. He told me of his concern that the Russians,…

WASHINGTON -- We have not seen the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, riding around the Russian countryside on horseback and shirtless lately, have we? In fact, much of the time, he is photographed seated at the end of a very long table in the Kremlin, and he appears to be almost alone. Though it is possible that the guys seated furtively way at the end of his table could be members of his…

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, former Trump lawyer turned antagonist Michael Cohen says that Trump took top-secret documents to Mar-a-Lago to use them as a get-out-of-jail-free card. He will say that if jailed, he will have his supporters release copies of the documents to America's worst enemies: Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia. 

When Russia attacked Ukraine, “experts” said the country would fall within days. It hasn't. One reason is that the Russian military wasn't as effective as people thought.  Another is that Ukrainians surprised the world by courageously defending their country.  A third reason is that volunteers from everywhere stepped in to help.

Most current and former NBA players have a shockingly low amount of common sense, but former Boston Celtics forward Enes Kanter Freedom is a welcome exception.

Senior NBC international correspondent Keir Simmons was interviewed on today's Morning Joe regarding the potential swap of Griner and Paul Whelan for a Russian arms dealer. Simmons reluctantly said " sorry to say it, but I think this is an example of where inside-the-Beltway politics is good, probably smart, from the White House point of view's inside-the-Beltway politics, is not good…

With the harsh and oppressive conviction on Thursday of Brittney Griner by Russia, talks are underway for a prisoner swap. And while Americans want to see the WNBA star freed, the network morning and evening newscasts don’t seem particularly interested in just who Joe Biden would be trading in order to free Griner.

This week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi went to Taiwan, determined to make a statement about American support for the democratic country under constant threat from its tyrannical Chinese neighbor. That trip prompted spasms of apoplexy from the Chinese government, which vowed serious consequences; China, in the end, engaged mainly in some military posturing. There is no question that Pelosi is…

A longtime diplomatic and military spokesman in the Obama and Biden administrations, John Kirby has exhibited a calm, cogent demeanor, so it was surprising on Thursday when Kirby appeared miffed as Fox’s Peter Doocy pressed him on the Biden administration’s posture towards China and then as Today News Africa’s Simon Ateba repeatedly interrupted the briefing and demanded he be called on.

On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday morning, Nayyera Haq, a former Obama aide, speaking of the imprisonment in Russia of WNBC player Brittney Griner, said: "We know the reason that she was in Russia was because she was not able to make equal pay here in the United States that NBA stars would make. That points to the disparity in American life." Cross gave a one-word response: "terrifying…

A mash-up of inane and obnoxious comments by Tiffany Cross on her MSNBC show of Saturday, July 16th.

Some Western leaders envy dictators' powers. President Donald Trump said, when North Korea's Kim Jong-un speaks, “his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.” President Barack Obama told reporters it would be so much easier to be the president of China. Canada's foolish Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, said he admires China because “their basic dictatorship is allowing them…
