A Brazilian lawyer tragically died after his gun was discharged by an MRI machine’s magnetic field at the hospital. The freak accident occurred on January 16 while the gun-loving lawyer, named Leandro Mathias de Novaes, was taking his mother to get scanned at the Laboratorio Cura in São Paulo, Jam Press reported.

An MSNBC analyst suggested Tuesday that President Trump is a Russian agent who had been compromised “as early as 1977” as a result of his first marriage to Ivana Trump. While promoting his new book on “Morning Joe,” retired U.S. naval intelligence operator Malcolm Nance started by pointing out he’s “not a journalist,” but said that as a former member of intelligence community, he could “predict” things that his MSNBC colleagues could not, such as Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election. But, when asked what happened in the “prologue” of Trump’s political rise, Nance responded by claiming that the then-businessman...

FORT WORTH - On a bone-chilling, miserably windy day in 1952, Capt. Fred C. Seals Jr. fell out of his airplane. Right out the side of the C-46 Commando. Four hundred feet above the snow-covered ground in the middle of the Korean War. Improbably, Seals lived to tell the tale. The story has been retold on Ripley's Believe It or Not, and to this day, old men stop him and ask if it is true. Seals lived because he fell right back into the plane.

UNITED NATIONS, 28 September 2004 — Saudi Arabia yesterday announced it would host an international conference on combating terrorism, but warned that peace and security in the Middle East will fail if Israel holds on to policies “totally incompatible with the fundamental principles of the peace process.” The Kingdom’s “strategy of pre-emptive actions to forestall criminal acts has been successful in the fight against this vile epidemic,” Assistant Foreign Minister Nizar Obaid Madani told world leaders and diplomats at the UN General Assembly.

Palestinians said the Arabic letters of the name of God could be made...
