    'Whistleblower' in White House security clearance office gets suspended
    Tricia Newbold was suspended less than a week after NBC reported Jared Kushner's top-secret security clearance was approved over staff objections.

  2. Nobody to this day knows how many ICBM's China has because they are road mobile, hidden in caves and China has always refused to discuss it.

    That makes a START treaty impossible to extend. It makes strategic arms control impossible to conduct.
