Elizabeth Warren Is Running Her Race. The Real One May Be Passing Her By.

The candidate keeps talking about winning “unwinnable fights.” But the New Hampshire primary was not supposed to be in that category.

Trump and the Republicans must be defeated.
Their objective is the nation sinking into deflation.

Bernie is the potential candidate with a constituency.
I will vote for Warren if I can.
A Bernie - Warren ticket would be acceptable.

For Thousands of Years, Egypt Controlled the Nile. A New Dam Threatens That.

Ethiopia is staking its hopes on its $4.5 billion hydroelectric dam. Egypt fears it will cut into its water supplies. President Trump is mediating.

The Ethiopian dam is not a threat to the modern Nile.
Annual flooding ended with the high dam at Aswan.

This is fake news as reported here.
