Watch closely. The Administration may seek to get in bed with the dangerous Iranian cult MEK. The MEK was tied to Saddam Hussein and was on the US terrorist list. Rudy Giuliani, Louis Freeh, Newt Gingrich and others supported and took money from them to get them off the list. Bad bedfellows!

My advice to the Administration: With the U.S. uncomfortably close to a recession -- and already in a jobs recession -- don't do anything rash that could make things worse.

Opinion | Putin is failing. These charts prove it. Data from the battlefield show Ukraine is holding its own.

β€œUkrainian defense is proving to be durable and it’s the Russian offensive that’s struggling. The way to end this war is not to rescue Putin from a failing campaign, but to help Ukraine make it fail faster.”

Americans view each other as morally bad, poll says. Canada is the opposite - National | Globalnews.ca While 47 per cent of Americans said their fellow citizens are morally good β€” the lowest score of any country β€” 92 per cent of Canadians had a positive moral view of each other.

Canadians and Americans are at the polar opposites of a 25-nation survey on morality conducted by the Pew Research Center and released Thursday, which asked people around the world to rate the morals and ethics of others in their country.
