Getting rid of ranking officers and offering underlings their commands in exchange for personal loyalty--in the 19th century, this was exactly the way to set up for a military coup. Just saying.

Hurray for Shelley Puhak! For centuries, this woman was labeled as the most deadly female serial killer of all time. She was actually just a widow whose (male) neighbor coveted her property... History’s Most Prolific Female Killer, or a Victim of Disinformation?

In response, Mr. Trump wrote on social media that Mr. Springsteen “ought to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT” and called for a “major investigation” into the artist. You know you're in trouble when you have to go up against the Boss. Thank you Bruce Springsteen for your courage!

I agree. I am sure they have already whisked the ICE agent who shot that poor woman out of the state but the governor has to at least try to have him arrested and charged with murder.

The red and green jewels were designed specifically for Sisi's Hungarian coronation. They, along with the rest of these pieces, are of great historical value. They belong in the Sisi Museum in Vienna. None of these belong to the Habsburgs, they belong to the Austrians.
