The right way to respond to Herman Cain's death is to remind those around us of how important it is that we all do our part and take COVID-19 seriously. Masks save lives. Social distancing saves lives. Washing hands saves lives. We have to come together to beat this disease.

BREAKING: Trump raised the notion of delaying the next U.S. election scheduled for November, suggesting without offering evidence that mail-in voting will be subject to fraud


US President Donald Trump calls to delay 2020 election, citing possible mail-in voting fraud despite little evidence


The CRAZY thing about Trump saying we should delay the election is the US GDP fell by 32.9% in the 2nd quarter. The largest recorded drop in history. And more than 1.43M people filed for unemployment benefits for the 1st time last week, rising for a 2nd week.
