If the federal government is to be believed, the Zika virus poses a much bigger threat to the United States than anybody previously imagined.
Initially confined to Third World countries, the naseent epidemic has slowly but surely worked it’s way into the US, with at least 346 cases of the virus confirmed. Reportedly, 32 of those infected are pregnant women while seven contracted Zika through sexual activity.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been scrambling to contain the creeping threat, but so far their efforts have been for naught. Officials claim that mosquito eradication campaigns, lab tests and vaccine research have all been tried in the fight against Zika, but none of the aforementioned methods were able to catch up with the rapidly-developing contagion.
Caught off-guard by the severity of the threat, the Obama administration is begging Congress to allocate emergency funds totaling $1.9 billion to facilitate anti-Zika efforts.

Maybe it was caused by obamas global warming fraud
I this really news? He claims Cruz “has fraudulently represented himself as constitutionally qualified for the office of president” and argues that Cruz, who became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2014, does not meet the Constitution’s requirement to be a “natural born citizen.”

An administrative law judge heard arguments from Williams and lawyers for Cruz on Monday. Judge Jeff Masin said he expects to issue a ruling Tuesday on the issues of standing and whether Cruz is a natural born citizen.
Williams attempted, but failed, to intervene in a Pennsylvania lawsuit on the citizenship issue. It was dismissed last week because the courts said the challenger in that case did not have standing to sue.
Federal courts require that those going to court must show that they would suffer an injury that’s concrete and particular to them. Suing simply on the basis of being a citizen and a taxpayer isn’t enough.
For the same reason, lower courts have rejected a lawsuit filed by a retired Utah lawyer, Walter Wagner, who says he has “a vested interest in insuring that all candidates for the position of president are legally qualified.”
Wagner has appealed his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
But because Williams is a candidate himself, he argues that he can succeed where others have failed by showing that he would suffer a direct and concrete injury if an unqualified candidate were to be allowed. In addition to New Jersey, Williams has also filed to run in California, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin.
