Looking forward to the day when I can personally donate toward rebuilding The White House historic building. I am an immigrant, and it’s meant a lot to me.

Last night, Poland recorded as many as 19 airspace violations by Russian drones coming from Belarus.

Polish and NATO troops were forced to engage Russian targets over NATO territory.

If NATO doesn’t set clear boundaries here, these probing missions by Russia won’t stop.
