Weirdly, Pakistan and India claim they came to accord on their own. Who to believe? The nations involved or the guy who lies as easily as he breathes?

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks.

The website to check linked in the reply.

Spouses of NC Supreme Court justices gave maximum contributions to the GOP judicial candidate β€’ NC Newsline Spouses of North Carolina Justices that may decide a state Supreme Court race gave maximum donations to the Republican candidate
