Diverse and all the diversity of catholicism in america and of america in america. Though, the president welcoming a man that hes clearly, clearly close to. Standing beyond the white house all across constitution avenue, the pope will be

Trouble hovering for the hottest gift this holiday season. The battle brewing over the hoverboard. Could this shark be standing in the way of you getting back to the future .

Our very own chris hayes tracked down the source of that claim for the nation. You may also have heard some Trump Supporters reference a secret memo that supposedly exposes the truth about the Clinton Campaign ties to birtherrism. The document the
