On April 6, 1917, the U.S. declared war on Germany and formally entered World War I. By late June, American infantry troops began arriving in Europe. One thing they couldn’t do without? Coffee.

“Coffee was as important as beef and bread,” a high-ranking Army official concluded after the war. A postwar review of the military’s coffee supply concurred, stating that it “restored courage and strength” and “kept up the morale.”   Continue reading “In WWI Trenches, Instant Coffee Gave Troops A Much-Needed Boost”

Out of all of the animals in the world, deers may be the biggest jerks of them all.

Sure, there are spiders, snakes, and bears ready and willing to harm humans in just about every corner of the world, but deers just hop around all willy nilly, dashing into traffic and windows without a care in the world.    Continue reading “Rogue deer tackles innocent man in a parking lot”

During his campaign for president, Donald Trump repeatedly called for rewriting the U.S.-Mexico relationship. He peppered Mexicans with nasty stereotypes (“criminals,” “rapists,” and “bad hombres”), advocated ripping up the North American Free Trade Agreement, and promised to build a “big beautiful wall” on the border — on Mexico’s dime.

Now some prominent Mexicans are raising their own quibbles about the border. They are making the case that Mexico should return to its 1848 boundaries, before the United States snatched large chunks of their territory, including most of California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona, during the Mexican-American war.   Continue reading “The Other Dispute on the U.S.-Mexico Border”

Robert Seman Jr., 48, was walking through the Mahoning County Courthouse with police in Youngstown after a pre-trial hearing when he quickly ran from the officers and jumped over a banister at around 9:30 a.m., WKBN reports.   Continue reading “Ohio Man Jumps to His Death in Courthouse Before Trial for Raping Girl, 10, and Killing Her and Grandparents”

WEB Notes: The amount of propaganda being put out at this time is astounding. Do not forget US Secretary of State Tillerson is due in Moscow today.

Anytime you hear about Damascus being bombed your ears should perk up a bit. Isaiah 17:1 is one prophecy that must come to pass before the end of this age of flesh and that is Damascus becoming a ruinous heap. That prophecy is well on its way. Stay in His Word.

The stock price of United Continental Holdings Inc. fell dramatically on Tuesday as the fallout continues over the airline’s handling of a passenger being dragged from one of its US flights.

If the airline’s stock ends the day carrying these losses, the company will lose about $830 million from its market value, MarketWatch reports.

The company’s stock price opened at $70.15 Tuesday as the markets were largely unmoved by the scandal on Monday. However, it later plummeted to $68.37, a fall of more than 4 percent.   Continue reading “United Airlines stock plummets by over $800mn after passenger fiasco”

NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — Attorney General Jeff Sessions toured the U.S.-Mexico border Tuesday and unveiled what he described as a new get-tough approach to immigration prosecutions under President Donald Trump.

The nation’s top law enforcement official outlined a series of changes that he said mark the start of a new era to rid American cities and the border of what he described as “filth” brought on by drug cartels and criminal organizations.   Continue reading “During border visit, Sessions outlines immigration plan”

BEIRUT (AP) — Turkey’s health minister said Tuesday that test results confirm sarin gas was used in an attack on a northern Syrian town earlier this month and the Russian military said the Syrian government is willing to let international experts examine its military base for signs of chemical weapons.

Col. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy of the Russian General Staff said in televised remarks that Russia will provide security for international inspectors seeking to examine Syrian bases, and that Damascus has agreed to allow the inspections. His comments came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow will appeal to the United Nations to investigate the attack on Khan Sheikhoun.   Continue reading “Turkey: Autopsies show sarin gas used against Syrian town”

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) — The estranged stepfather of a Wisconsin man suspected of stealing guns and threatening attacks in an anti-government manifesto sent to the White House on Tuesday urged the fugitive to surrender.

SAN FRANCISCO — Fingerprint sensors have turned modern smartphones into miracles of convenience. A touch of a finger unlocks the phone — no password required. With services like Apple Pay or Android Pay, a fingerprint can buy a bag of groceries, a new laptop or even a $1 million vintage Aston Martin. And pressing a finger inside a banking app allows the user to pay bills or transfer thousands of dollars.

While such wizardry is convenient, it has also left a gaping security hole.

President Trump on Tuesday said North Korea “is looking for trouble” and vowed to get the murderous regime of dictator Kim Jong-Un under control with or without China’s help.

Trump sent the warning in a pair of tweets just days after he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China traditionally has acted as a counterweight on North Korea, helping to moderate some actions of the isolated country. Trump indicated a favorable trade deal could await China if they stepped up pressure on North Korea; however, Trump also appeared ready to reign in the provocative nation on his own.   Continue reading “Trump warns China on North Korea: Help solve the problem or ‘we will’”
