President Obama Calls Jason Collins

Doesn't President Obama really know what courage is? It seems his priorities are way off.

(CLEVELAND) - Jason Collins, NBA player and Stanford graduate, recently announced that he is gay, more power to him. But President Obama cited his courage.

And last year I was going to be at the Boston marathon right there at the finish line waiting with water bottles and bananas, where the tiny bombs exploded this year.

Stalin Deported the Chechens in WWII

During the Second World War, Joseph Stalin, seized by one of his historic fits of paranoia and cruelty, declared the Chechen people disloyal to the U.S.S.R. and banished them from their homeland.

European Football Determined to Reward Racism

Please ask your MP to write to Hugh Robertson, Minister for Sport, to complain.

(LONDON) - Israel has an unsporting record of sheer bloody-minded obstruction towards Palestinians’ efforts to participate in a wide range of sporting activity.

Another Terror Attack; Another Terror Drill

For the first time since the Oklahoma Bomb in 1995 it seems that white extremists may be held responsible for a high profile terrorist attack.

Boston Massacre, Modern Style Artillery Barrages and Instant PTSD

From a Combat survivor, this is it...
