90% of student discrimination and harassment complaints were dismissed last year. Here's why.

This should make everyone stop and ask if pandering to conspiracy theorists for votes is really, really worth it. This illustrates why political conditions in 3rd world countries correlate with living conditions.
A year after the first measles cases were reported in Texas, the virus continues to circulate, with outbreaks at the Utah-Arizona border and South Carolina. Now, an international panel of experts must determine whether it will cost the U.S. its designation as a country that eliminated the disease.

Um... No. He wasn't the first time around, and even less so now. This time, though, the people around him aren't able to manage him, much less the country. That assumes the goal was ever anything other than running the country into the ground.

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"
