One of the more interesting results of yesterday's election was not a national development, but rather what happened in Texas. For decades, Texas has been considered one of the most solid ruby red states. It has not voted for a Democratic Governor since the early 1990s. It was t…

For those paywalled: U.S. Sen. Susan Collins conceded the race to Democrat Troy Jackson early Wednesday morning in a seismic move that ends the Republican’s 30-year tenure in the Senate. Jackson had 53.1% of votes to 45.7% for Collins when the Bangor Daily News and its national…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Popular_Vote_Interstate_Compact If you're not familiar with the NPVIC, it's essentially a set of laws passed in Democratic states to allow for the states to give all of their Electoral College votes to the winner of the national popular vot…

The last person who went in was Islamic Historian and Scholar Imam Ali Samhudi in the year 1476 CE. He went in to restore the prophet's tomb after it was damaged by an accidental fire. Since then nobody, even the Saudi Authorities have not been able to enter the sacred room. I a…
