Supreme Court: Texas Can Use Voter ID Law
The Supreme Court declared that Texas can use its controversial new voter identification law for the November election. “A majority of the justices rejected an emergency request from the Justice Department and civil rights groups to prohibit the state from requiring voters to produce certain forms of photo identification in order to cast ballots (NBC)”. The law do not accept seven forms of approved ID in a list that includes concealed handgun licenses but not college student IDs, which are accepted in other states with similar measures. From 600,000 voters, many of them black or Latino, will not be able to vote because they lack acceptable identification which could led to the feeling of discrimination towards the voters without an acceptable ID.

Kurds struggle to defend besieged Syrian town from ISIS
In mid-September a battle for Kobani started. ISIS is looking forward expanding their territories and Kobani was one of the first ones they put their eyes on. For more than two weeks the United States have been supporting by air striking militias from ISIS but is not helping much. How can ISIS kill just to kill, it does not make sense? and Why does the United States only helping by Air-Striking?. If the United States Air-Striking is not working they should do something else and not only them, but the rest of the world. A lot of people have died by ISIS and Kobani is an example of what could happen in many other places.
