A clerk at Xhale City vape shop in Tucker, Atlanta went absolutely ballistic after a customer wearing a Trump t-shirt walked into the establishment. The pro-Trump customer was denied service and asked to leave the store while the vape shop employee accused him of being a “racist motherf*cker.” A black man was also standing in front of the counter watching it all go down and it was all caught on video. “If you do not stop recording in my store, I’m going to call the police and ask you to leave,” the triggered employee said. The customer refused to be...

I was sitting on my daughter’s bed reading Laura Ingalls Wilder, and this and other scenes in “Little House on the Prairie” stopped me cold. What had been, in my gauzy memory, a beautiful and pure story was complicated by passages like this: “Why don’t you like Indians, Ma?” Laura asked, and she caught a drop of molasses with her tongue. “I just don’t like them; and don’t lick your fingers, Laura,” said Ma.

A Texas mother said she didn’t think twice about shooting a would-be carjacker when the man jumped into her vehicle at a Dallas gas station while her two sons were in the backseat. Michelle Booker-Hicks was at the Shell station along Interstate 35 around 10 p.m. Wednesday when Ricky Wright, 36, attempted to steal her vehicle while she was paying her gas bill, police said. Booker-Hicks told FOX4 Dallas her two sons, ages 2 and 4, were sitting in the backseat at the time. I proceeded to jump in my backseat and told the gentleman to stop, to get out...

Tehran, 9 August (AKI) - According to an Iranian judiciary spokesman, the jailed Iranian journalist Akbar Ganji is no longer on hunger strike. Speaking at his weekly news conference on Tuesday, the judiciary spokesman Jamal Karimi-Rad said: "He (Ganji) drank water and tea and used sugar cubes before. If it were called a hunger strike, now it had ended." "His health condition is good and his family are allowed to visit him," the official was quoted as saying on the Iranian news agency, IRNA. Ganji, who has been on hunger strike for more than 50 days, has been in prison...

SACRAMENTO CA - Picture a gorgeous day. Surf and sand. Perfect time to erase unsightly tan lines, or just enjoy the sun's warmth on your chest. At least, if you're a guy. Under a little-known law, it's technically illegal for women to sunbathe topless on California state beaches or in state parks. Worse, some lawyers contend, topless sunbathing could land California women on the state's sex-offender database for life. So lawyers with the California Bar Association's Conference of Delegates are shopping around for a lawmaker willing to clarify the law, or even take a step toward what they view as...

Mexico's newest border czar wants to begin building additional travel lanes at ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border and to increase the number of border crossings into the United States — the first steps, he hopes, toward an open border with no checkpoints. Arturo Gonzalez Cruz, a Tijuana businessman named in April by President Vicente Fox as the Mexican Foreign Ministry's institutional liaison for northern border affairs, said access changes along the 1,940-mile U.S.-Mexico border were "necessary" to facilitate increased travel and trade between his country and the United States.

Osama bin Laden may soon have his hands on three Agosta 90B next-generation stealth submarines capable of carrying sixteen sea-to-land cruise missiles each. Those missiles can deliver atomic warheads. And Osama, I suspect, will have access to the forty nuclear warheads constructed by Pakistan. Washington and New York, two primary targets for Al Qaeda, are near bodies of water from which these nuclear-tipped missiles can be launched. So are many other major American cities. Here are the skeletal details: In 1994, DCN, the government-owned company that builds France's naval vessels, agreed to help the Pakistanis build and learn to operate...
