The Clinton (Crime) Family Foundation
Time to declare it the biggest charity fraud ever.
A Space Nuclear Reactor

And note once again what a terrible Putin stooge Trump is turning out to be.
Universal Basic Income
Finland has given up on its failed experiment. If only there was some sort of…oh, I don’t know…field of analysis that could have predicted this?
