The story of the ‘Smiley Face’ murders goes all the way back to the late 1990’s. It involves dozens of mysterious deaths which share common traits including bodies found in water and smiley face graffiti left nearby.
Left wing students have been causing campus unrest over the statue for months, but it’s the statue itself that is making people unsafe. Can you follow that logic?
On January 15, 2009, US Airways Captain Chesley Burnett “Sully” Sullenberger III had just taken off from LaGuardia Airport in New York City when the Airbus plane he was flying hit a flock of birds, lost engine capacity, and had to try an emergency landing.

LI is currently without a podcast. My dear friend and children’s authoress, Amelia Hamilton, produces a fabulous podcast for kids that covers all things colonial America.

Sunday was the 40th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre, an event that caused the deaths of about 900 people (about a third of them children) who were killed at the group’s compound in Guyana.
Note that I write “were killed” rather than “killed themselves.” One of the many misconceptions about the Jonestown...

Another campus statue is being singled out for removal over political correctness. “Prospector Pete” is going to be taken off the campus plaza of California State University Long Beach and moved to an alumni center, because critics say the Gold Rush contributed to deaths of indigenous peoples.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signing the Civil...

That fatwa led to “the biggest massacre of political prisoners since World War II.” Khomeini targeted members and...
