The Circuit Court of Cook County in Chicago has agreed to hear a lawsuit on Sen. Ted Cruz's eligibility for president — virtually ensuring that the issue dominates the news in the run-up to the South Carolina primary. Cruz was born in Canada to a US citizen mother and a noncitizen father. The Constitution requires presidents be "natural-born citizens," but what exactly that requires hasn't been settled in court.
New data from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration suggest that January of 2016 was, for the globe, a truly extraordinary month. Coming off the hottest year ever recorded (2015), January saw the greatest departure from average of any month on record, according to data provided by NASA.

Olympic Gold medalist Lindsey Vonn is in Italy this week as Sports Illustrated unveils its annual swimsuit edition, which features athletes Ronda Rousey (who’s also on the cover), Caroline Wozniacki and Lindsey Vonn in body paint. But that doesn’t mean she’s missing out on the fun of promoting it.

The anti-ISIS coalition carried out two major strikes against ISIS last week that targeted the group's financial and cash-distribution centers in Iraq. The strikes are thought to have destroyed hundreds of millions of dollars in the terror group's control. Speaking to ABC, an unnamed US official said that the amount of money destroyed could be in “the high hundreds of millions of dollars." The US military released two videos it said showed coalition airstrikes obliterating an ISIS bulk-cash storage and tax-collection headquarters and a second cash-storage facility. Both locations were in the vicinity of Mosul, Iraq, the largest city held by ISIS, which is also known as the Islamic State, ISIL,
