Four people, including French and Belgian nationals, have been shot dead in a restaurant on a busy street in the Malian capital Bamak. Witnesses said they saw four people running away and shouting "God is Great" in Arabic ("Allahu Akbar") as they fired machine guns and throw a grenade at La Terrace in Bamako's lively Hippodrome district following the attack shortly after midnight. "This is a terrorist attack, although we're waiting for clarification. Provisionally, there are four dead - one French national, a Belgian and two Malians," a policeman told AFP, adding that the dead included a police officer passing...

Looking for something for the kids that’s more than just a play thing? One Brooklyn, N.Y., company hopes you’ll help them create a Hillary Clinton action figure so that children everywhere will – finally – have a “positive female role model” - a “role model” they are hoping will become the first female president of the United States. Apparently, this same company made some money back in 2008 when they sold Barack Obama action figures. Now, they’ve raised about $5,000 of the $15,000 they hope to get on a Kickstarter website so that they can pump out plenty of the...

Former Vice President Walter Mondale, 87, has been hospitalized for influenza, former President Jimmy Carter confirmed Friday.

"He is in the bed right this moment, but looking forward to come back home. He said tell everybody he is...

The House of Representatives’ senior ranking Democrat, Nancy Pelosi, said on Wednesday she was concerned that if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the U.S. Congress in March, it may result in negative ramifications for the ongoing nuclear talks with Iran. The fact that Israel is America’s only ideological ally in the Middle East and that Iran is sworn to the United States’ destruction did not make an appearance in the remarks of the House Minority Leader. “Such a presentation could send the wrong message in terms of giving diplomacy a chance,” Pelosi told reporters outside of a conference...

The Chinese military believes war in space is inevitable, so China is developing a space program advanced enough to disrupt U.S. military communications. That, according to a new report prepared by the U.S.-China Economic and Secretary Review Commission for Congress. The report, compiled by the University of California’s Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC), was released by the commission on Monday and reveals that China is interested in attaining space supremacy, adding that Chinese military leaders think that control of space determines control of Earth.

ATLANTA (CBS46) - Former Atlanta fire chief Kelvin Cochran has filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Atlanta and Mayor Kasim Reed. Cochran was reportedly fired after handing out a book he wrote to his employees. The book had what Reed called "disturbing sentiments about the LGBT community."

For years our leaders have told us that Islam is wonderful in all ways. But we are seeing some changed minds.

The United States does not support Egyptian and Emirati airstrikes against Islamist militias in Libya because the U.S. believes the crisis in Libya must be resolved politically and without outside interference, a Department of Defense spokesman said Tuesday. Egypt and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) carrying out airstrikes in Libya was different from U.S. airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant forces in Iraq, Pentagon spokesman Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby told a briefing,

As ISIS makes inroads into Libya, officials in Rome are panicking about an Islamic State just across the sea—but have no idea how to combat the crisis. ROME — Last weekend in Italy, as the threat of ISIS in Libya hit home with a new video addressed to “the nation signed with the blood of the cross” and the warning, “we are south of Rome,” Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi shuttered up the Italian embassy in Tripoli and raised his fist with the threat of impending military action. Never mind that Italy has only 5,000 troops available that are even...

Today's America is a scary place for far-right troglodytes, my friends. It's a place were "teh geys" are allowed to hold hands in public and have matrimonial "butt secks" in their homes without the threat of a public stoning. It's a place were Shakira Law threatens the very foundations of our nation with telenovelas and tamales. It's a place where death panels decide weather you'll get an appendectomy, a proctological exam, or a free pass to see the latest in FEMA coffins. It's a place where our Food Stamp President works ceaselessly to spend our country into back alley bankruptcy,...

The report didn't just focus on...

The state of Minnesota has stopped accepting electronic filings by taxpayers using the popular TurboTax software, because of what it says are fraud problems that have been detected with filings. "Some Minnesota taxpayers have recently found that when they log in to TurboTax to file their tax return, they see that a return has already been filed," said the state. The state says there has not been a breach of Department of Revenue computer systems, and that it is still accepting filings from tax preparers using professional versions of the Intuit software. Media reports in Minnesota say that the state...

Barack Obama is travelling with a 27-strong delegation to cement ties with the new king of Saudi Arabia on Tuesday as concerns over Yemen and the Islamic State take centre stage in the increasingly volatile region. Central Intelligence Agency director John Brennan, Republican hawk senator John McCain and General Lloyd Austin, head of US Central Command forces in the region, are among the surprise additions to a hastily organised trip that has drawn critical comparisons with the US failure to send any senior figures to Paris following recent terrorist attacks. Secretary of state John Kerry and leading House Democrats Nancy...

Last month comedian Seth Rogen was the cause célèbre of Hollywood when terroristic threats caused Sony Pictures to cancel the release of his latest movie “The Interview.” Americans from across the political spectrum spoke out in favor of Rogen’s right to make any movie he wanted, and when it was released online, Americans supported the movie. Many may now regret that purchase. Rogen, like all Americans, was born with the right to say anything he wants, no matter how offensive. That’s why he was able to make a movie in which he kills the leader of North Korea. But that...
