The Trump administration is bringing new subject matter paralleling changing times in the age of technology - cyber-crimes and warfare - uncovering conspiracies.

The bill to replace the Affordable Care Act is scheduled for a vote on Thursday. House leaders have made some last-minute changes to the legislation to try to ensure it passes.

Ivanka Trump put her husband's relatives in charge of her company's assets, but she retains some power, an arrangement that is meant to address concerns about her role at the White House. Does anybody believe these people are not involved in "family business"? Not that it comes as a surprise but Ivanka will have an office just above her father's in the White House.

David Rockefeller died yesterday at age 101. The death of the banker and philanthropist, with the fabled family name, brought to mind those who really control the economy with ties to global cabals.
