Hitler's Desk Won't Be Displayed At New York Arms Show

Image
Saratoga Springs, New York will not welcome artifacts tied to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler at this year's Arms Fair.  Hitler's desk from his Munich apartment was expected to go on display at next weekend's arms show.  That's now been called off.   The desk's owner says he plans on selling it in January and if people are that opposed to the Fuhrer's personal writing desk they can buy it from him for a half a million dollars and he'll give them the lighter fluid and a match.

Judge dismisses wrongful death claims against Jacksonville police officer | Jacksonville

Only one claim out of what was a multi-faceted lawsuit over a police shooting remained on Friday after a federal judge dismissed a Jacksonville police officer from the suit this month, according to court records. McBrayer ran to his car after police arrived, grabbed a box cutter and held it in his hand as officers demanded he “put the knife down,” according to the lawsuit. Edwards shot McBrayer five times in the chest and torso, according to the suit. The excessive force claim was later thrown out. While the lawsuit was filed in federal court, the wrongful death claim against Edwards was a state claim, according to court records. Under state law, a wrongful death claim must be filed within two years of the incident for which the claim is made. Last month attorney Terry Sides , representing Edwards, filed a motion to dismiss the wrongful death claim against his client because of the two-year limitation. Attorney U.W. Clemon, representing Flood, agreed the claim was governed by t...

I am in desperate need of a rental apartment or home in HAttiesburg, MS. Pleae help. Thanks

Hattiesburg has several property management companies that have homes and apartments in all price ranges. As far as single famliy homes I would first contact London and Stetelman or Shirley at Shoemaker properties... Not everyone has a perfect credit score but not all the property managers run a credit report. If you can show you have income and that the rent doesn't exceed 25 or 30% of your gross, you can most likey find a landlord willing to give it a go. Vacany rates are at an all time high in Hattiesburg right now and good tenants are hard to find. You most likely will need to provide proof that you paid your mortgage on time when you were married... and if you get child support you will need to prove that for it to be counted toward your income. Other property management companies are Best Realty... Msiti @ Re. Max manages rental property and Associated Appraisers owns a lot of rental property . Same for Southgate Realty. You should be able to Google any of these for the...

Taylor Swift is plotting ... something. Here’s what we know.

© Provided by Vox.com Taylor Swift is plotting something. Swift’s absence from the public eye has been conspicuous over the past few months. She apparently skipped hosting her annual Fourth of July party, which she usually celebrates by posting a blast of carefully posed photographs all over Instagram. Her presence in paparazzi rags has dropped to near invisibility. She’s been so invisible that it seemed plausible to multiple people that her staff was sneaking her in and out of her apartment in a giant box. But this week, Swift started making moves . She wiped all of her social media profiles clean — no profile pictures, even. She deleted her old posts. Then, yesterday, she posted a grainy video of a snake on every account she owned. Rumors flew that she was planning to make an announcement at 2 pm Eastern, just as the solar eclipse was reaching its peak in New York, in what would have been the ultimate power move . According to several radio DJs, some Taylor news will be released a...
