    1. Kimberly Jones is appalled. Those Confederate flag photos on Facebook were jokes, she said, from 2½ years ago. They were meant to be self-deprecating. But Jones doesn't care what folks think of her.

      If it was difficult to know exactly what was happening, then why did the troopers rip apart the families?

    1. A man with a pipe bomb strapped to his body set off an explosion at one of New York’s busiest commuter hubs, leaving five people injured in an Isil-inspired attack.

    2. Experts say the stealthy F-22s and F-35s would be key to any such actual attack as they are invisible to North Korean radars.
