The UT Tower clock stopped this morning at 11:48A. The same time when the shooting began 50 years ago. Unfortunately, there are still too many mass shootings in America. Some fear we are headed in the wrong direction. Today also marks the day when Texas’ new campus carry law goes into effect.

It's home to the nation's largest refining and petrochemical complex, where billions of gallons of oil and dangerous chemicals are stored. Houston is a sitting duck for the next big hurricane and this fourth largest city in the nation isn't nearly ready.

The Turks did not read the writing on their walls. Now the harsh crackdown is underway. Turkish authorities should release and drop charges against 48 journalists that police have detained as part of a sweeping purge of the media.

According to the independent news website P24, the 88 journalists for whom arrest warrants were issued are part of the reaction to the July 15 military coup attempt that left more than 200 people dead.

Now that both political conventions have finally ended, the mudslinging and attacks should end and both candidates must start telling the truth in their White House race.

Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and the Republican pick, Donald Trump should both outline what they are going to do for the US and how they will accomplish their individual tasks.

Hillary Clinton holds a rally with her chosen vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine in Philadelphia, where they’ll be joined by Bill Clinton later in Harrisburg, PA.

HILLARY'S CHOICE

Submitted by Admin on

Hillary Clinton has broken the glass ceiling and it is now time for her to deliver the most important speech of her life.

For Clinton to deliver her victorious White House speech, she must improve her favorability ratings by reaching out to Bernie supporters, independents, and undecided voters.

This election is a referendum on the best of two unpleasant candidates, but she has the most favorable ratings.

Hillary has to focus on her sharp contrast with Donald Trump’s dark rhetoric and negative policies.
