Dublin Airport said in a statement that flight QR017, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, landed safely as scheduled shortly before 1 p.m Dublin time (8 a.m. EDT). It said […]
If news out of Doha and Cairo seemed sparse lately, it wasn’t just your imagination. For the last several months, mediators in both capitals attempted to craft a deal between Hamas and Israel to pause hostilities and exchange hostages for prisoners. The US put a lot of pressure on all sides to come up with […]
Google searches could amount to the evidence required to convict an embattled Democratic senator and land him behind bars. The federal trial of New Jersey Sen.

Some have warned about billions of dollars in Qatari money flooding American campuses as a means to radicalize students. Perhaps we should worry more about the campus at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
