The percentage of Americans that own a home has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded. During the second quarter of 2016, the non-seasonally adjusted homeownership rate fell to just 62.9 percent, which was exactly where it was at when the U.S. Census began publishing this measurement back in 1965. This is not what a “recovery” looks like. All throughout the Obama years, the percentage of Americans that own a home has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller.

RICHMOND, Va. — The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has overturned a law that requires NC voters to present valid identification, such as a driver’s license, in order to cast a ballot.
The ruling states that the law was enacted with discriminatory intent, citing statistics that African-American voters were disenfranchised by the law, being more likely to lack the proper identification required by the law. Further, the law would reduce votes for Democratic candidates, which African-Americans are statistically more likely to vote for. Continue reading “4th Circuit Court strikes down NC voter ID law”

We begin with this: “Administration of KMV (killed measles vaccine) apparently set in motion an aberrant immunologic response that not only failed to protect children against natural measles, but resulted in heightened susceptibility.” JAMA Aug. 22, 1980, vol. 244, p. 804, Vincent Fulginiti and Ray Helfer.

Almost 7,000 individuals in Texas have died while in police custody or behind bars over the past 10 years, according to an online report released Wednesday by a University of Texas at Austin research institute. Nearly 2,000 people who died had not been convicted of a crime, Institute for Urban Policy Research and Analysis data shows.
“We can’t have an informed conversation about who’s dying at the hands of police or who’s dying in jails if we don’t literally know who’s dying and how they’re dying,” said Amanda Woog, a postdoctoral fellow at the institute. “I think this information can help us get to the bottom causes of mortality in the criminal justice system and with that lead us to solutions.” Continue reading “Report Finds Almost 7,000 In-Custody Deaths in Texas”
