just now (495+ words) Trump's strategy to end the American Century The White House has officially released the second Trump administration's National Security Strategy. I wanted to share my initial read on the strategy, given its major implications for the United States and the world. Bottom line up front: the United States will focus on the Western Hemisphere for the foreseeable future while drawing down its strategic presence in Europe and Asia. "In place of promoting democracy and defending the international order, the United States will now adhere to a policy of "flexible realism" and establish a "Trump Corollary" to the Monroe Doctrine in Latin America." While this would mean aggressively limiting the presence of rival powers like China and groupings like BRICS from Latin America, this strategy would also imply that the United States would be quick to use military force in response…...

just now (1828+ words) Rosales brought his eyeglasses to his nose just in time to see three White men in green fatigues, cloth masks and body armor emerging from the vehicles with pistols on their hips.

After a three-block race, they tackled the…...

Eric Schmitt completely lost his cool when repeatedly asked whether he agreed with Trump's pardon of former Honduran president'and convicted drug smuggler'Juan Orlando Hern'ndez. The GOP senator whined about his treatment on This Week Sunday as George Stephanopoulos grilled him about the pardon.

Asked the first time about his thoughts on the pardon, Schmitt said he wasn't familiar with it. "I'm not familiar with facts and circumstances, but I think what's telling here is to try to…...
