A number of important events took place on October 23 in U.S. history. Here is our take on the most interesting and valuable of them. 1929 –Wall Street Crash One of the biggest market crashes in history occurred on this date 89 years ago.

I probably won't be too original if I say I love old America. The purity of nature and morals, the spirit of entrepreneurship, freedom, and adventure. A brave new world where a man is a man and a woman is a woman. Of course, I understand that there were disadvantages, but I love it not for them. Do you remember that time, when being a patriot wasn't shameful? When loving your country and president wasn't equated with being a racist misogynist? The good old days. How much time has passed? Years, decades, centuries? No, the era has passed. We live in a new time, of the war...

NEW YORK – October 22, 2018 The Trump administration plans to create a legal definition of gender as a fixed status determined biologically by the genitalia a person is born with, according to a Sunday report from The New York Times.  The paper said the Department of Health and Human Services is leading the effort to establish a legal definition of sex.

It was a common name used to describe all German mercenaries serving the...
