They had a strategic aim in mind at first. Remember, Kristen, this was about regime change. Then it became about nuclear weapons and about ballistic missiles and about the Navy.

Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) claimed President Donald Trump’s level of corruption is unprecedented. Host Kristen Welker said, “Of course, a lot of buzz about whether you are going to run for president in 2028. This week, your wife, former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, was asked if you should run.

In that vein, meet Sarah Trone Garriott. She’s a member of the Iowa…

Mojtaba assumed Iran’s highest office after his father was killed…
