In north Alabama, our awareness has been raised by the stark numbers of overdose deaths we have seen across our communities.

What if Hillary wins? Let's assume also that the Senate flips to 51-49 in favor of the Democrats and the House remains firmly Republican. If this should happen, both houses of Congress will be in a position to block anything she wants to do, the House because of the Republican majority and the Senate because of the filibuster.
Donald Trump on Saturday night described early reports of an explosion in New York City by telling his supporters here that a "bomb went off" in that city. Trump made the statement before local officials had publicly confirmed details of the incident or what caused the explosion.
Mr. Trump, it appears you were mistaken when you said you "always were in opposition to both the War in Iraq as well as the decision to topple Gaddafi in Libya. Want to take another crack at it? Mr. Trump, it appears you were mistaken when you said you got post 9/11 government money to "help others out after the attack", when in fact you used those funds for "rent loss, cleanup and repair."
A vacation on Ireland's west coast should have provided relief from the depressing realities of the U.S. election season. But it's hard to escape when every Irishman or woman you meet asks the same question, differing only in the choice of adjective: My reply: "I still believe most Americans have the common sense to grasp that Trump presents the greatest threat to U.S. security and democracy since the end of the Cold War."
There were no crab and lobster hors d'oeuvres or any other highfalutin catering hall food. It was simple fare and a bar at Reflections on Newark Avenue, a Journal Square spot in Jersey City, the location of Councilman Richard Boggiano's Thursday fundraiser.
Top executives at Wells Fargo have thus far managed to dodge any responsibility for their role in a yearslong scandal that last week earned it $185 million in fines, including a $100 million levy from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - the largest the watchdog agency has ever assessed. The bureau said that beginning in 2011, Wells Fargo employees routinely used legitimate customers' names to create phony credit, debit, and checking accounts - as many as 2 million in an effort to meet sales goals.
After two decades of economic sanctions on Myanmar, the US has decided to lift them. The announcement was made following a meeting between President Barack Obama and Myanmar's State Counsellor-cum-Foreign Minister Aung San Suu Kyi at the White House on Sept 14. For many in Myanmar and the US, the lifting of economic sanctions is a win-win for both the Obama and Suu Kyi administrations.
It seems obvious candidates who fly and drive thousands of miles weekly, endure 20-hour work days, motel beds, eat bad food, talk personally to scores of voters and donors while giving three speeches a day are in better physical shape than most Americans half their age. And yet the media has spent two weeks now focusing on Donald Trump's baseless assertion Hillary Clinton is unwell.
IN LESS than a week, Hillary Clinton went from a seven-point lead over rival Donald Trump to a five-point deficit in Ohio, a must-win battleground state, which has, by the way, voted for the election winner more often than any other state and has picked the president every time since 1964. All that puzzled pollsters can say is that they are certain the back-and-forth numbers will continue until Nov. 8, when this seemingly endless, painful campaign will finally - really - be over.

I truly don't want to know the details of Julian Assange's broken premolar and exposed dental pulp, and I doubt most American voters do either. But know those things we now must, since the WikiLeaks founder released 27 pages of his own health records as an act of public service to our nation.
The longer this campaign lasts, the more I'm ready to believe Donald Trump is the Slim Shady of modern political journalism. He's been sent here to destroy us.
An unexpectedly strong showing throughout the state had first-term state Rep. Frank Edelblut running neck-and-neck with Executive Councilor Chris Sununu in a tight race for the Republican... J.J. Hardy and Nolan Reimold each slugged homers off Drew Pomeranz in the Orioles' five-run second inning, and Baltimore posted a 6-3 victory over the Boston ... (more)
Taxpayers in Colorado and across the nation have been kept in the dark far too long about what went so disastrously awry with the mushrooming cost to build the still-under-construction veterans hospital in Aurora. One would think a billion-dollar overrun for a facility originally slated to cost $604 million would demand a timely explanation.
Fifteen years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, the day's images remain vivid, and Americans are still vigilant about the threat of terrorism.
In years past, Labor Day marked the start of the general election campaign. But studies show voters tend to make up their minds earlier, prompting political analysts to consider whether underlying factors mean the 2016 race is already as good as over.
