Graduation Day from Electoral College
» KEY POINTS Issues with the Electoral College started to come to a head all the way back in 1796, the 3rd Presidential election and the first after George Washington. The Electoral College was created as a compromise to get more States to sign off on the Constitution and not because it is particularly beneficial or fair. It is very straightforward: all people of the United States — whether they live in the States or Territories — should vote for the President and Vice President directly.

What is the President's Job?
» KEY POINTS Almost all of the promises Presidential candidates make cannot be kept because what they say they will do is the job of Congress. The Legislative Branch has illegally and un-Constitutionally ceded power to the Executive Branch. Each Branch of the Federal Government needs the proper barriers and checks enshrined in the Constitution.

How will Ukraine retaking Crimea devastate Russia?
Russia and Ukraine's conflict goes back decades before February 24, 2022. Russian aggressiveness has remained consistent since Vladimir Putin took office in the late 1990s. The current war, however, began with the unlawful annexation of Crimea in 2014. The insane aspect is that NATO and the rest of the world sat back and watched as Russian soldiers seized Crimea in a manner remarkably similar to how Nazi Germany grabbed Austria, Czechoslovakia, and the Rhineland before launching its assault of Poland and beginning World War II. 💣⚒⚙

Nothing Says Christmas in America Like Gun Violence
The United States of America has one of the worst gun violence problems in the world, which is an understatement. Americans seem to think that violence in African countries or 'under-developed' countries is the worst. People will warn you of violence if you tell them you're going to South America or any African country.

The Day the Earth Fucked Off
I remember back when I was a young child, my mother’s wise advice: “MYOB.” “Mind your own business.” Usually said to me if I tattled on my younger brother, or stuck my quickly-growing nose into my parents' business when not invited to do so. It was not only wise advice but also a warning to fuck off before my dad would come after me with a belt.

Long COVID Could be the Next Major Economic Disaster 2023
The Next Major Economic Disaster. With a staggering $3.7 trillion economic impact, the disease known as Long COVID could rival the Great Recession of 2008 in terms of its economic ramifications. Already, many businesses have had to close their doors due to the pandemic, and many more are struggling to survive. In addition, the disruption of supply chains has led to a significant decrease in global trade. As the virus continues to spread, the economic consequences may be even more severe. It is essential that governments around the world take immediate action to contain the outbreak and help mitigate the economic damage.

Management is required in the China-US relationship.
The fact that US president Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping spoke on Monday is the most encouraging thing. The two biggest economies in the world's relations have been deteriorating at an alarming rate; according to some reports, Chinese officials recently stalled preparations for a meeting between the two men outside of Bali's G20 summit. But the world has already witnessed the Ukraine conflict escalate into a full-scale invasion by Vladimir Putin of Russia. Even more disastrous would be a Chinese invasion of Taiwan.
