SHOULD ISLAM BE RESTRAINED IN THE UNITED STATES?

How long as it been? Years have gone by and there is a Select Committee of Congress, yet still we do not know the answer to three basic questions about the Incident at Benghazi that any detective doing a homicide investigation would ask.

Notes on Argentina and the New Pope

1. The New World: Pope Francis is the first Pope from the New World. This is significant because for almost 1,500 years the continents of the New World were not supposed to be where they are.
