The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today warned American Muslims that there is no guarantee that ballots mailed today will be received and counted on time to due the ongoing and deliberate slow-down of federal postal service.
CAIR advises all early voters to - if possible - submit their ballot either by drop off box or hand delivery. [NOTE: If you already have a mail in ballot, take it to the polls with you in case you need it.]
Whenever you hear something repeated, it feels more true when you hear it repeated. In other words, repetition makes any statement seem more true. So anything you hear will feel more true each time you hear it again.
Each of the three sentences above conveyed the same message. Yet each time you read the next sentence, it felt more and more true. Cognitive neuroscientists like myself call this the “illusory truth effect.”
Illusory truth is one consequence of a phenomenon called “cognitive fluency,” meaning how easily we process information. Much of our vulnerability to deception in all areas of life revolves around cognitive fluency.
(October 28, 2020) – According to a new model, if the U.S. presidential election were to take place today, former Vice President Joe Biden would have an 88.3% percent chance of winning. That’s the finding of a group of U.S.
The heated 2020 presidential election incites the question for Ohioans: what has Trump done for the people of Ohio?
We have indeed set records these past four years – from jobs to factories and agriculture – and why are we tired of these records being broken? Because they’re all going in the wrong direction.
Economic inequality, unequal development, and leveling of labor has plagued the rust belt the past 40-plus years. This is the understandable context for rural Ohio, some of suburbia and some blue-collar pockets of Ohio’s turn to populism when it was presented with a right-wing, anti-establishment populist candidate promising an alternative to the “status quo.”
Trump has proved, however, to be a hollow right-wing populist in the lack of real economic development outside of the tax cuts and deregulation (a very mainstream conservative political strategy) that mostly benefited the top income brackets. His promises to revitalize some of Ohio’s most struggling working-class regions, like Northeast Ohio, have fallen short.

When the controversial nuclear bailout bill known as HB6 first reached the Ohio House floor in 2019, only a handful of Ohioans truly knew what it was and what was in it. This “handful of Ohioans” -- as we would later find out -- was a group of Republican lawmakers and lobbyists who had cooked up a historic pay-to-play bribery scheme, all funded by various energy companies and predominantly led by FirstEnergy.
Today, many people are feeling discouraged at the state of relations with law enforcement. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the most common reason a person has an encounter with the police is in a traffic stop – and traffic stops sometimes require prolonged one-on-one contact between citizens and law enforcement. It is important to know your rights and how to respond to officerswhen you are stopped or approached, especially in common interactions like traffic stops.
You Have the Right to Remain Silent
Under the Fifth Amendment, you do not have to answer an officer’s questions during a traffic stop beyond requests for your license, registration and proof of insurance. You do not have to answer any questions about where you are going, what you are doing or where you live. If you plan to exercise your right to remain silent, be sure to say so out loud.
