Now 42 years have passed and, thankfully, I rarely think of those days in Cambodia, Laos, and the panhandle of North Vietnam where small teams of Americans and Montangards fought much larger elements of the North Vietnamese Army. Instead I see vignettes: some exotic, some mundane...

Midterms No Slam Dunk for Democrats

Trump-bashing alone won’t win the midterms for the Democrats.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - For those of you who thought the midterms are a slam dunk for Democrats, think again. Calling immigrants MS-13 gang members (animals) and criminals, Trump seems to have turned his cruel, inhumane child separation, zero-tolerance immigration policy into a border security issue for too many likely voters.

Democrats must come up with a platform that addresses the average voters’ hopes and concerns.

The Unknown Transformation of Malcolm X - Palestine: Seeking The Enemy Within

A Response to Separation of Struggles Against Oppression on Tribal and National Boundaries

(Project Humanbeingsfirst.org) - Malcolm X's early views on separation from his oppressor's race are well known among those who study him, and poorly understood by others who have merely heard of them in relation to Reverend Martin Luther King's penchant for integration with the White Man.

Different forms of Both Teams To Score Bets

Doing your research will give you needed knowledge.

(SALEM, Ore.) - After the basic ‘match result’ market, betting on Both Teams To Score bets are one of the most favourable.

As there’s far less at stake and plenty more time for your bet to land, BTTS bets are arguably even more worth doing than match result bets.
