Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said Tuesday that President Barack Obama was "the worst president, maybe in the history of our country" after Obama called Trump "unfit to serve" and "woefully unprepared to do this job" earlier in the day.

He talks about Ukraine [and] how tough he is with Russia, in the meantime they took over Crimea." Earlier Tuesday, Trump said that Obama and Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clintonhave “single-handedly destabilized the Middle East” whil...

General view of buildings at the Olympic Village in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. (AP) The acting goveor of Rio de Janeiro’s state govement declared a state of financial disaster Friday in an effort to change budgetary priorities without disrespecting Brazil’s fiscal laws.

(Da Capo Press) The ship was fashioned after the Titanic, and met an end no less tragic, but the tale of the Cap Arcona—and the thousands of concentration-camp prisoners who lost their lives aboard it—is one you've likely never heard. The "Nazi Titanic" gets its due in a new book of the same name by Robert P. Watson, a historian and professor at Florida's Ly University.
