Venezuelan government now enslaves subjects to work on farms
Socialism is a curse that people should wish on their enemies. When hardline socialists won control of Venezuela 15 years ago, socialists and government trusters worldwide cheered.

Attempt to overthrow Turkey’s government reportedly fails

Sometimes the long lines transform into riots, and the people become looters. Robbers …
