                              Roughly 65,000 votes are just a step away from being thrown out after the North Carolina Court of Appeals sided with Jefferson Griffin in his lawsuit seeking to overturn the state Supreme Court race he lost by 734 votes out of more than 5 million cast. In a stunning decision that changes the rules of an election after that election has occurred, the court ruled that the vast majority of the ...

                              After measles outbreak, why are feds keeping Texans in the dark? | Dallas Morning News

                              It is not easy to be an American Muslim today. With the U.S. engaged in another conflict with a Muslim-majority country, rhetoric from some of our highest officials continues to vilify Islam and cast suspicion on Muslims as disloyal or dangerous.
