As climate pressures mount, and territorial disputes increase, the chance that some “rogue state” decides to start lobbing nuclear warheads could bring a whole new world of trouble.

Even without a nuclear exchange, if the GOP thinks we have an “immigration problem” now, just wait…

I can’t help wondering if the drones seen flying about in the "tri-state area" are doing reconnaissance flights for some purpose.
