Lucas Alaman's "History of Mexico" tomes I & II are now available on Amazon. They cover the Mexican struggle for independence from the overthrow of the Bourbons by Napoleon in 1808 to the reduction of the rebellion to parts of the south in 1819 amzn.to/4fzs7mZ

Charles Windsor acknowledged today that Canada is an illegitimate state by stating that he is on unceded land while in the capital. Every level of Canadian government agrees that they should not exist. The country is thus legally a terra nullius, & open to annexations.

India holds the upper hand over Pakistan in almost every conceivable way - even most of its water passes through or sources from India. Mind boggling that Pakistan still provokes its neighbor anyways.

Staff at Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period. The company just sent several emails to employees saying it believes there was a technical error, and is looking into how to fix the issue.

As the last WWII veterans die off, their sacrifices are being conscripted into rhetorical use by an ideology they found abhorrent.

The fattest state in 1990 (Mississippi) was slimmer than the slimmest state in 2016 (Colorado). USA residents are much uglier than they used to be within living memory.
