I have said before, and I will not stop emphasizing that regardless what one thinks of Trump, given the situation by which he was elected, he was given an opportunity of history to make a real and good difference for many. I do not believe anybody who wants to speak objective about his legacy can […]
Having a job is a very important responsibility in the US because if one does not have money, one cannot participate fully in society. The reality of a “pay-to-play” system is serious, and the less money one has, the less one can partake of it. It is of great interest then that recent numbers show […]
Many people were very happy to receive a stimulus check earlier this year from the government. Now as the economy has not improved and many people are looking for work but none can be found and with bills to be paid, the government is considering another check, and the possibilities of it being issues are […]
COVID-19 has not abated at all as a threat, but just as a threat can either take different forms, appear at a later time, or both, this seems to be what is happening with COVID-19. It is spreading as we speak, but at the same time, as the numbers rise, scientists point to a time […]
Travel has changed a lot as a result of the COVID-19 coronavirus. Some might say that a major change was already in progress, but the virus simply expedited what was going to be inevitable. As such, AirBNB CEO Brian Chesky has said that not only has this happened, but that air travel will “never, ever” […]
COVID-19 is the pandemic that keeps on giving. I have noted that based on the data, it is very likely a re-emergence will take place this fall, sometime between September and November. As a part of the build up to this, HHS Secretary Alex Azar noted in a report from CNN that the situation with […]
A major complaint of college graduates and people in the work force is the focus on ‘education’ in the job market, which employers for a long time have wanted to be highly specified to the detriment of real world experience. Things are so strange that at the current time in history, it is not uncommon […]
Fascism is most simply defined as the merger of state and corporate power. This is what people warned about, including Shoebat.com, with the entire “coronavirus stimulus” that was passed, for aside from giving check out to people, the package involved government writing down business debt in exchange for a percent of ownership. This is fascism […]
It would be interesting to know who was posting for Trump’s Twitter account after AP News reports a video with a man shouting “white power” in it was retweeted before it was deleted from his feed. President Donald Trump on Sunday tweeted approvingly of a video showing one of his supporters chanting “white power,” a […]
Hundreds of people gathered in Taiwan at the capitol to unveil a massive pride flag according to AP News. Hundreds of people thronged a central square in Taiwan’s capital Taipei for a Pride event on Sunday, unfurling a giant rainbow flag in front of the main memorial hall for late autocratic leader Chiang Kai-shek before […]
Trump is seriously losing support, and as Yahoo! News notes by way of the LA Times, he is at a serious risk of losing Evangelical support over the recent Supreme Court rulings on LGB and T issues. White evangelical voters have been the staunchest supporters of President Trump, putting aside misgivings over his crass statements […]
Disney World has sometimes been described as the ‘happiest place on Earth’, but getting sick is not a happy thing. In fact, the spread of COVID-19 cases to various areas has been connected to visits to Disney World. It is not hard to imagine why- putting a lot of people in a close area is […]
I have followed many websites over the years discussing various trends and ideas, as well as those which express a wide range of views. One of those are the sites run by Michael Snyder, an American Evangelical who runs a series of websites discussing the decline of the American economy. According to one of his […]
Verkhoyansk is one of the coldest places on earth along with her neighbor several hundred miles away in Oymyakon (the coldest place on Earth), located in remote northeastern Russia. However, Science News reports that the town had temperatures over 100 degrees, and while the matter is formally being investigated by scientists, if it is officially […]
A lot of people were happy to get the “free money” the Federal Government was “giving away”. However, free things always come with a price, and the Greenwich Times reports that for many cities, taxes are probably going to be raised. Cash-starved cities and states across the country are starting to weigh whether to raise […]
I have made clear that after having allowed for Trump to have his chance, it is pretty clear he has done a terrible job and it is not getting better. Trump does not manifest “strategy” but rather incompetence and confidence as acting, and debt as wealth. While the presidency is always a show and Trump […]
