I think you could safely say no nuclear weapons are in orbit around the earth

No, because they have all signed the outer space treaty which explicitly forbids any nuclear weapons in space.
Do not confuse the outer space treaty with the Moon treaty or the nuclear test ban treaty. Those are different treaties and do not forbid nuclear weapons in space anyway.
Note that not every country in the world signed it. North Korea and Iran for example have not. But the U.S. and all other nations currently capable of putting such weapons in space has.
That is not to say that some country could not violate the treaty or just announce they were pulling out. But none have done so, and if one did secretly violate it, you can bet your bottom dollar that the others would eventually find out and blow the whistle on it and probably loudly announce their own plans to do the same in self defense.

Yes the United States of America for one. Probably Russia too.President Bush pulled out of the Nuclear Weapons ban treaty a couple of years ago so our government could start stockpiling our weapons of mass destruction again.

Nuclear or mass destruction weapons are made from unstable and hard-for.transport materials.. I think it wouldn't make it through the atmosphere's high temps..

Truly the government is only sure but will not let us know.
I am superstitious and I think that we are now at war with different species and government will not let us know
Reason: The government is powerful so are we but the government doesn't want us leaving this country or freaking out at that matter
No one is sure but Government

No one would admit to it, but it certainly wouldn't surprise me. With the way they fuss over that telescope..who really knows what they are really watching?

Not to current knowledge, although it's not the sort of thing they'd make public.
