MOSCOW (AP) — The daughter of an influential Russian political theorist often known as “Putin’s mastermind” was killed in a car bomb attack outside Moscow, authorities said Sunday.

Dugin is a prominent proponent of the “Russian World” concept, a…

NEW YORK (AP) – Piles of paper piled up on his desk. Framed magazine covers and memorabilia on the walls. One of Shaquille O’Neal’s giant sneakers was displayed next to football helmets, boxing belts and other sports memorabilia, filling his Trump Tower office and crowding his desk space.

Anyone wondering why the Florida Constitution mandates that school board elections be nonpartisan need look no further than what’s happening in our county, where the invasion of take-no-prisoners political forces has produced the most ugly and hostile that I have seen here.

It wasn’t until four years ago, in fact, that local Republican and Democratic parties ignored…

“I think there’s probably a higher chance that the House will pass than the Senate,” McConnell said at a Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Florence, Kentucky. “Senate races are different. They’re statewide,” he added. “The quality of the candidates has a lot to do with the outcome.” It wasn’t just an acknowledgment of the GOP’s challenges in trying to regain control of the evenly divided chamber. It was also a shrewd way for McConnell to put former President Donald Trump’s political future on the ballot this November. And given current polls, the prospects for Trump and some of…
