Demand for fake weaponry has shot up as Ukrainian troops on the front line contend with increasing Russian strikes and dwindling supplies. Mykhailo Roman, 32, an architect who produces dummy weapons out of plywood, metal and plastic drainpipe, said he has been working overtime in recent months. The married father-of-one runs a small architecture firm in Vynohradiv, a village just 10 miles from the Hungarian border in south-west Ukraine that is largely untouched by the ravages of war. By day, he mostly designs houses. But in his evenings, he has turned his skills to building a Potemkin army.

The Washington DC-based Museum of the Palestinian People is a room-sized collection of propaganda.I noticed in their virtual tour that they showed "Palestinian coins, 1917." Since there were no "Palestinian coins" in 1917, I looked a little closer.Well, they have Arabic writing, and they do say 1917.A short amount of research showed that they were not even Ottoman - but Egyptian!Hussein Kamel was named Sultan of Egypt under British protectorate from 1914-1917 and these coins bear his name.There is nothing "Palestinian" about them.When a people have no history, they have to make a history up.

Make no mistake: Congressmen Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy are proud Republicans. But they believe the party had lost sight of the ideals it believes in, like economic freedom, limited government, the sanctity of life, and putting families first.

Utuado, Puerto Rico - For more than a century, the fist-sized rocks etched with enigmatic patterns were ignored by academics and shunned by cultural power brokers. Discovered in Puerto Rico in the 1880s by a priest who was convinced they were a link to one of the Lost Tribes of Israel, the stones were declared forgeries in the early 1900s by researchers from the Smithsonian Institution.
