Our president's through the years have mostly served us well -- along with some notable accomplishments -- and weirdness.

February is Black History Month. Most people think it started when President Gerald Ford issued a proclamation in 1976 honoring the month. Not so -- its origin was way back in 1915, by a man you never heard of. 

It’s a brand new Administration, and your new Prez is going to fight for the underdog by eliminating income taxes on tips.  At  a rally in Vegas he promised “If you’re a restaurant worker, a server, valet,  bell hop, bartender, one of my caddies, your tips will be 100 percent yours.” Great news? Not exactly.

Betcha didn't know we have an official Chocolate Cake Day. Eat up, it's also a no guilt day.

Donald Trump has named over 50 actions he'll take on Day 1 of his new presidency. It's a tall order -- can he do it?

President Lyndon Johnson declared the "War on Poverty" over fifty years ago.  Did we win it?  Where does the US stand today?

In January we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., one of the greatest icons of the 20th century, known by all as the strongest advocate for equal rights for African Americans using non-violence.  King was a great man indeed, but we should also be celebrating the January birthday of a female civil rights hero who pioneered non-violence, and preceded King by half a century.

This week rings in a brand new year.  Will you whoop it up with a wee bit too much champagne, or be a good kid and celebrate at church? Chances are you won’t stray far from U.S. tradition – fireworks, the countdown, popping bubbly, or lighting a candle for good luck. Take a tour around the globe to see how other countries mark the changing of the calendar:

December is a time for celebrations, including the eight days of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights, and Kwanzaa.  While Americans usually shop till they drop and exchange gifts , traditions around the world, old and new, bring a different twist to the season.

The last of the turkey has gone to hash, and Black Friday's behind us. Consumers are snapping up the latest gee-whiz gadgets, cheesy clothing, and mountains of plastic soon-to-be-junk from toy stores.  Call a halt -- and start a new tradition.
