US GOVERNMENT INACTION

Submitted by ub on

US lawmakers have done a whole lot of talking and finger-pointing, but not much legislating. What's up with that?

For example, it's been 365 days since the Senate passed bipartisan legislation to fix US broken immigration system, for Hispanics United in America and well as others. However, all we hear are lame excuses from our US House of Representatives.

Meanwhile many families are suffering. The American people want what the economy needs, basic human decency requires.

What else are the representatives waiting for? No more excuses. It's time to vote.

On Tuesday at 4P, Team USA targets Belgium at the World Cup Games.

By now, you may have noticed that anyone can win. This particular match will come down to which side can do a better job.

Meanwhile, USA must plan for life without their starting striker. This will keep Clint Dempsey out of position all alone up front, where he will be forced to more or less wait for opportunities to come to him rather than drop back and get them himself.

It may be Belgium, but Algeria, Russia or South Korea are all still in the race for this potential second seed.

Please, make sure you support our team and take a moment this afternoon to watch the game on TV in English on cable channel ESPN, or in Spanish on broadcast channel Univision.

CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? GET A WARRANT

The US Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a police officer can not search the cell phones of criminal suspects upon arrest without first obtaining a search warrant.

The 9-0 vote ruled that smart phones and other electronic devices were not in the same category as wallets, briefcases, and vehicles, which are currently subject to limited initial examination by law enforcement.

Generally such searches are permitted if there is probable cause that a crime may have been committed, to ensure officers' safety and prevent destruction of evidence.

Many Trust Local News

According to GfK reserachers, who've completed a study for Hearst, TV viewers trust local news more than other media platforms, which makes local stations a favorable platform for advertisers.

Along with trust, local news stations have a high level of viewer engagement, which leads viewers to research and purchase products they see advertised during newscasts. Research finds local news is the most trusted platform across all demographics: total respondents, adults 24-54, adults 35-64 and adults 55+
