Guantanamo is not a threat to Cuba, as poor as the Cuban military is, they could overrun it before the first American plane or ship got off the ground. A few years back I was teaching in Havana, and went to check it out from the outside - it is indefensible. Cuba is not making any money from the rent because they aren“t cashing the checks. They made a serious mistake in the early Castro days, when the lease was up for renewal. while they were negotiating, someone cashed one of these checks after the lease ran out, so the U.S. assumes that acceptance of payment is evidence of an agreement to an unsigned or unrenegotiated contract. The fact is, if the U.S. belonged to the world court, Cuba could sue to nullify the entire arrangement because the first contract was signed under duress, e.g. invalid.

A remarkable photo has surfaced of Donald Trump which is... revealing, let's just say. In the picture, the president is walking across the south lawn of the white house. He looks over his shoulder and gazes into the distance, his hair windswept from his face in the crisp winter weather, and the background is soft and blurred. It's so good it almost looks staged. Except for one

I can never resist the clickbait down the side!
We collected the most famous paintings, sculptures, busts, and statues of historical figures, and now we're bringing those faces to life. Thanks to forensic anthropologists and facial reconstruction, we now know what it would've been like to look at Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth I, and so many more. Because of CGI, CT scans, and 3-D printing, you can now look your favorite historical...
