The Pennsylvania Department of State’s voter registration site will be down for maintenance beginning Saturday, October 5, originally overlapping former President Donald Trump’s triumphant return to Butler, Pennsylvania, nearly three months after the first assassination attempt on his life.

Let’s cut to the chase: since the turn of the century, the private sector has shed jobs…

But then illegal miners arrived, using their heavy machinery to dredge the riverbeds for gold.“It’s just desert here,” said Mosquera. “Illegal mining affects the ecosystem in every way … it leads to degraded land.
