I tend to agree with Crazy Cat that perhaps this is a mistake. Bear in mind that it's important to keep things as pleasant as possible.

More Hamas Fighters Surrender, Provide Intel The leadership of Hamas may not be dealing with reality, but an increasing number of their fighters seem to be.

Sounds like a little up-cleaning is necessary in Loveland, doesn't it? Until a few years ago when state laws changed, Texas had towns and counties that would try to fund their entire annual budgets through revenue from speeding-tickets.

Why the Discovery of Hamas' Leader's Credit Card Is a Little Infuriating While clearing out Hamas strongholds in Gaza, Israeli forces stumbled upon the credit card of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. It's a Visa card, and the man reportedly put some significant charges on the card. Though expired, it showcases what we all know about the terror group: the upper crust has accumulated inordinate amounts of wealth at the expense of the civilian population. What do you expect from an administration that spent 17 years building an intricate network of terror tunnels for its forces but not a single bomb shelter for civilians?

Democrat John Whitmire elected Houston mayor, defeating congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee HOUSTON – Houston elected Democratic state Sen. John Whitmire as its next mayor on Saturday night, elevating a Texas lawmaker who has represented the city for 50 years by giving him a victory over U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee in a runoff. Whitmire, 74, who is one of Texas' most powerful Democratic legislators, will now be at the helm of America's fourth-largest city. His campaign focused on reducing crime, improving streets and bringing people together. He heavily outspent Jackson Lee, who was running to become Houston's first Black female mayor. The congresswoman's campaign also had to deal with fallout from the release in October of an unverified audio recording that purported to capture her profanely berating staff.
