George W Bush Calls Out Iraq Invasion By Mistake In Ukraine Speech

Former President George W. Bush is probably kicking himself today after making a gaffe in a speech that seemed to call out truths about a decision he made while in the Oval Office.

How To Experience 6 Of The Oldest Buildings In New Orleans

New Orleans is deeply complex, with intermingled layers of cultures, cuisines, and histories. Rightly so, as it is a 304-year-old city, first colonized by the French in 1718. While the history of the land and people who occupied it go further back than 1718 (notably by the Chitimacha and Chahta-Yakni (Choctaw) Indigenous peoples), the visible history of today starts in the mid-18th-century with those early French and Spanish colonies. The French Quarter buildings are exemplary representations of Creole Architecture — a mix of Spanish, French, and Caribbean influence, designed to withstand the hot and humid climate....
