President Trump Asks for Confirmation Support from Senate Leadership

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan Outlines Biden Priorities for Upcoming Meeting with Donald T

In mid-April of this year, I was sitting in a Starbucks (renamed Stars Coffee) in the Galleria Mall in downtown Saint Petersburg, Russia, watching the massive crowds of shoppers that looked like something out of a mid-1990’s Christmas season in the USA. The place was packed with people shopping.
