WASHINGTON -- Sergey Lavrov, Russia’s suave minister of foreign affairs, was recently asked by one of Russia’s ubiquitous billionaires: whom does President Vladimir Putin seek advice from on the Ukraine war? He responded that Putin has only three advisers, though they are renowned. They are Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great and Catherine the Great. By the way, how did Russia amass so many…

On Nicolle Wallace's MSNBC show, Andrew Weissmann, the "pitbull" anti-Trump lead prosecutor in the Mueller investigation, admits he doesn't really understand the theory by which Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg bumped up to felonies the misdemeanors with which he charged Donald Trump.

“…We shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and success of liberty." – John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address Jan. 20, 1961.

MSNBC’s host of The 11th Hour, Stephanie Ruhle, really does not like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and for her Friday panel, she invited a series of guests to affirm these feelings.
