While most politicians stretch the truth, Trump has come under increased criticism in recent days for saying things...
(Photo: Andrew Harnik - AP) Many of us generally support President Barack Obama’s decision to re-establish relations with Cuba, but his upcoming trip to the island, including possible attendance at a U.S-Cuba baseball game alongside Cuban dictator Gen. Raúl Castro, is premature, poorly planned...
(Photo: Jabin Botsford The Washington Post) When Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto compared Republican hopeful Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler this week, he blew it.
