Life-Saving Qualities of Graphene

Graphene has been used to turn seawater into clean drinking water, which could turn out to be a life saver.

Arkansas Showed It Can Execute Criminals Easily

The state of Arkansas in the United States showed how to save the taxpayers money by giving two inmates lethal injections on the same gurney. Both were executed about three hours apart as Arkansas completed the nation's first double execution since 2000, just days after the state ended a nearly 12-year hiatus on administering capital punishment.

While the first inmate, Jack Jones, 52, was executed on schedule, shortly after 7 P.M., attorneys for the second, Marcel Williams, 46, convinced a federal judge minutes later to briefly delay his execution over concerns about how the earlier one was carried out. They claimed Jones "was moving his lips and gulping for air," an account the state's attorney general denied, but the judge lifted her stay about an hour later and Williams was pronounced dead at 10:33 P.M.

American Truth Won Over Alinsky's Belief

Saul David Alinsky (1909-1972) was considered as the founder of modern America’s community organizing. And, according to James Walsh of NewsMax, Alinsky has had more effect on American political policies in the 21st century via the Democratic Party and President Barrack Obama's administration than any other American.

Walsh added that President Obama and Hillary Clinton are examples of Alinsky’s adroit ability to mainstream his ideas and rules for socialist change through political personages. Obama, and to a lesser degree Clinton, had and do have an impact on the change of America’s heritage, ethos, racial relations, and political discourse.
