Henry Kissinger says the public shouldn’t just write off Donald Trump, calling him the “most unique” presidential figure in his lifetime.

At least 27 people were killed and dozens injured in a suicide bomb attack on worshipping Shiite Muslims at a mosque in western Kabul on Monday. The explosion ripped through the packed Baqir ul Olum Mosque around midday in Afghanistan's

AUSTIN, Texas --- PayPal is one of the world’s most popular ways to send or receive money online, but Palestinians are cut out of the action. Time magazine reported in January that PayPal has 179 million active accounts in dozens of countries, and PayPal payments are widely accepted in online marketplaces from eBay to Etsy.
