Qatar’s Education City: An opportunity for students and for the world

It is finals week at most colleges and universities around the United States. It's a week where all of the hard work and effort students have put in for the past 15 weeks either pays off or collapses. It's high pressure.

The debate. Don’t ask who won, ask who failed

The first and quite possibly only debate of the 2024 presidential election season between former President Donald Trump and current Vice President Kamala Harris is in the books.

Good guys and bad guys: Hearing directly from the bad guys

Nearly every city, town and hamlet in the United States has an Economic Development Council (EDC) of some sort. The municipality operates some. Some are an offshoot of their local Chamber of Commerce. A few are free-standing entities.

Can a prominent politician get a fair trial?

The ultimate American poll, what does the U.S. really think?

As the 2024 Presidential race kicks into gear, so does polling season. It seems every organization has its own pollster and its own statistics.
