What’s the F-uss with F-35?It’s time to weigh in about the F-35 next-gen fighter that may or may not be sold to the United Arab Emirates. That may or may not be sold to Qatar. That may or may not be sold to Turkey.

Not too smart, he was identified for the robbery because the gang used one of their own cars and the police tracked his license plate. Continue reading
The Palestinians are upset about snack foodPerhaps Israel should just take their Nobel Prizes and go home to cry because we didn’t invent falafel?
