This has been a bad couple of weeks for mobile phone security as several major iPhone vulnerabilities were revealed this week which allow a malicious external website to compromise your phone when it is viewed, either in Safari or another app that renders HTML (and there are many, many apps that do).
As such, it is imperative that iPhone users apply the latest updates for iOS as soon as possible. The fixed version is iOS 8.4.1, so any iPhones running iOS versions less than 8.4.1 are vulnerable.
U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) has transferred $250,000 to the Republican Party of Kentucky as a down payment for a presidential caucus he wants the party to conduct in March, according to an email sent to the party's central committee Monday.
Paul is seeking the party's help in bypassing a state law that prohibits him from running for president and for re-election to his Senate seat on the same ballot in 2016.
In the first presidential primary debate, Donald Trump claimed that Republicans would not be engaging with the immigration debate if it weren’t for his bravado.
Most of my academic training has been in economics and business school, and one thing that never ceases to surprise me is how many people neglect to realize that most of economic and business theory (as well as the political opinions they create) is a utopian dreamworld -- something that could never happen in the real world.
With the health care debate taking center stage during the first half of primary season, the field of Republican candidates is overwhelmed with proposals aimed at repealing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), but often with no specific plan to replace it.

It’s that time again. Time to celebrate another presidential election cycle; an event that’s inching closer to becoming a perpetual race as opposed to a process that occurs every four years.
Did you catch the first Republican debate? There were so many candidates they had to split the field into two groups. It reminds me of when they have to add a gate to the Kentucky Derby to accommodate all the horses whose owners can afford the entrance fee.
Florida's state legislators meeting in a special session have until noon on Friday, August 21, to agree to a new map for the state's 27 congressional districts. Two court rulings – one from 2014 and one from 2015 – found fault with the legislature's congressional maps, with judges finding them to be in violation of the Fair Districts Amendment.

The first debate moderator asked for any Republican candidate to raise his hand if running a third-party/independent campaign was not out of the question.
Donald Trump raised his hand.
The boos in the Fox studio were unmistakable. Trump later insinuated that the threat to run independent was just a leverage tool to have the Republican establishment treat him more fairly. But that didn’t stop the boos from continuing after the debate.
This weekend saw the candidates sharply carving out their individual stances on the parties' platforms on immigration at the Iowa State Fair.
While Donald Trump dazzled party-hardliners with his plan to change the Constitution to abolish jus soli (right of the soil), birthright citizenship, as well as deporting all illegal immigrants without a path to citizenship, Americans in general don't seem to have as aggressive of a stance on immigration.
On August 19, the Independent Voter Project (IVP) and California Forward (CAFwd) will co-host the California Nonpartisan Primary Summit, a series of panel discussions on the effects of California's nonpartisan primary system, voting rights, and the future of election reform.
