Well the time has come for me to take a walk down the path of life: As I look back to June 15, 2015 I saw a great Man come down from the top of a Tower he built, the American Way, and announced that he was running for President of The United States of America. I was so happy because I have read his books, watched him, listened to him, and personally seen him from a far while I was in New York City, on a trip there. As this Man named Trump started his campaign, I heard all...

If taken at great cost, it often lasts for quite a while. If inherited, not that long. If given, it is even more readily perishable. The United States gained their freedom, by force and at great cost, from those who used military might to prevent them from having it. Even many in the United States who inherited their freedom seem to have forgot how and why those from whom they inherited took it and the costs they bore. Those "given" freedom should know by now that it does not long endure unless cherished and defended, by force if that is the only...

A chilling "Panini-style" sticker album showing 138 pictures of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler is going under the hammer. Hitler smiling and joking with children and skiing are among the photographs that were designed to be used like modern football sticker albums. The pictures of the Fuhrer were collected by his supporters and Nazi Youth who may have even carried out "swapsies" with them in the playground. Inside the album is an introduction by Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as well as captions to the pictures which the collector would glue the photographs to. "There are some stirring images and they...

Whoever said it's lonely at the top, it wasn't Bill Clinton. The former President is constantly surrounded by an entourage of more than 20 bodyguards. So when he attended a book signing in London on Thursday, he brought a crowd of his own. The one-time US leader looked like he was auditioning for a part in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs. The burly men in suits fanned out around 61-year-old Mr Clinton as he went window shopping in Jermyn Street before arriving at the Piccadilly branch of Waterstone's. Fortunately for the former resident of the White House, they turned out to...

CHILPANCINGO, Mexico—Gunmen disguised as federal agents shot dead the head of police in a state capital near Mexico's Acapulco beach resort on Wednesday, the third killing of a senior cop in five days. Presumed drug gang members in black fatigues shot police chief Artemio Mejia in the back in the dusty town of Chilpancingo after he got out of his pickup truck to question them, town spokesman Reemberto Valdez said. President Felipe Calderon has sent thousands of troops and federal police to tackle drug cartels across Mexico, but the increased firepower has failed to contain the violence, including a recent...
