Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology

This is no different from what the Nazis did to the Jews in Germany, people who were asleep in their beds rounded up for simply being Jewish. The only difference is in America the people rounded up have brown skin. #AmericasShame #AmericasDisgrace

Confused about the "fairness" of Canada's dairy tariffs? Trump is either deliberately trying to stoke anger using fake info - or he's not that bright, since HE'S the one who negotiated the dairy tariffs with Canada. The story that's being spread in the US is WRONG. www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

Fact check: What Trump doesn’t mention about Canada’s dairy tariffs
U.S. President Donald Trump correctly noted Friday, as he has before, that Canada has tariffs above 200 per cent on dairy products imported from the U.S.. But Trump again failed to mention a critical ...

This is how the world views the US. Australia calling out fascism, then adding that "Trump is a disaster for humanity and he belongs behind bars, not the oval office."
