    Keith Girard
    Donald Trump dropped another multi-megaton Twitter bomb, casually suggesting today that the nation start a new nuclear arms race “until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes.” The reaction on social media was spontaneous outrage.

    David Fagin and Keith Girard

    Trump Russian Embrace Dovetails With White Supremacist World View on Race

    Keith Girard
    Donald Trump’s embrace of Russia dovetails chillingly with the views of white supremacists promoted by alt-right propagandist Steve Bannon.

    Keith Girard
    The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) unprecedented level of election dirty tricks is getting far less scrutiny from the media and lawmakers than the Russian email hacking scandal, even though the rogue agency poses a more serious threat to nation.
