    The sniper who killed two migrants and wounded a third in a horror shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been pictured for the first time.

Investigators said that they are still establishing a motive, but believe the...

In court papers Tuesday, Schulte maintained he is held in conditions “below that...

    There are 30 million coders in China and India. They make about 1/6th as much as college-graduate/student-debt applicants are "supposed" to make in the U.S. The old shibboleth "but they're not as creative as we are in the U.S." has been under relentless assault for many, many generations of dumbed-down socialist schooling (since 1880, when universal mandatory schooling was established on the Prussian model, dumb-down is built into the foundation).
