Trump backs MAGA champion Mike Collins in Georgia's Republican Senate runoff

President Donald Trump on Saturday made an 11th-hour endorsement in a crucial Senate race in battleground Georgia, which is among a handful that will likely decide if the GOP holds its slim majority in the chamber in November's midterm elections. Trump endorsed Republican Rep. Mike Collins, a MAGA champion and strong supporter of the president, who is facing off in Tuesday's runoff election against former college football coach Derek Dooley, who has the support of popular conservative Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp . The winner of the GOP Senate nomination will face off in the midterms against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff. Republicans view Ossoff as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat seeking re-election and are heavily targeting the first-term senator. Collins, who represents Georgia's 10th Congressional District, which is located between Atlanta and Augusta, is the son of the late Rep. Mac Collins, and is the founder and co-owner, along with his wife, of a trucking company. DEMOC...

Cuba’s dictatorship has long been a threat to America. Now, it’s finally teetering

For 67 years, the Castro regime has survived by convincing the world that communism in Cuba is a permanent condition. It rules through fear, propaganda, prisons and repression while generations of Cubans have been forced to live without freedom, prosperity or hope. But, today, that illusion is crumbling. As the only Cuban-born member of the United States Congress, I never thought I would witness a moment where the dictatorship in Havana appeared this weak, this isolated and this vulnerable. The regime can no longer hide the reality of its failure. Cuba is suffering blackouts that leave entire cities in darkness, hospitals without medicine and food shortages that have become routine. What is happening in Cuba is not simply a humanitarian crisis. It is a direct national security threat to the United States. The dictatorship in Havana has transformed itself into a strategic outpost for America’s greatest adversaries. Communist China has expanded its presence on the island through suspec...

Former South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol sentenced to 30 years over North Korea drone flights

A South Korean court sentenced former President Yoon Suk Yeol to 30 years in prison Friday in a case that accused him of ordering drone flights over North Korea in an effort to justify his declaration of martial law.

Why Trump keeps flipping on Iran: A president who sees the world as he wants it to be

Why does Donald Trump love inflation? Why does Donald Trump keep saying the Iran war is about to end – and then tell a Fox reporter he’s going to "bomb the s—- out of them"?  Why does Donald Trump try to revive the controversial slush fund after saying it’s dead? Why does he insist on putting an unqualified housing hack in charge of national intelligence despite an outcry from his own party?
