Hillary Clinton Beats Bernie Sanders in Nevada Caucuses

The result of the Nevada Democratic Caucuses have been announced. After Hillary Clinton’s predictable defeat in the New Hampshire primary, Clinton’s team redeemed themselves when they defeated Senator Bernie Sanders.

In the caucuses, Clinton was strongly backed by many generally Hispanic and black neighborhoods, and all her hard work to build relationships with them paid off. In a relatively modest turnout, Mrs. Clinton won 52.6 percent, and Mr. Sanders drew 47.3 percent.

Azaz hospitals hit by rocket strikes Monday

Monday, February 15th, terrorists attacked two hospitals and a school building in Azaz, in Syria. The attacks left at least 22 people dead and eight more people missing, presumed dead. The place is of great importance to the war in Syria because it could decide who fights for Syria’s Sunni Arabs. Azaz is the territory which Sunni rebels use as their stronghold and their supply route into Aleppo.
