Gheesh, what a stupid act she did for implementing an open door policy to all the migrants and now that it is beyond control she is calling for a summit to find a solution to this colossal problem.

Note: It was proven that there is only a very few percentage of these seekers as true refugees, majority of them are economic migrants.

This is the first time a non-president won the New Hampshire primary back to back. (Sanders won 4 years ago also.)

Mayor Pete was close though (~ 24.4 %).

Klobuchar (< 20%) leapfrogs over Warren (~9.4%) & Biden (~8.4 %)

Both Yang (2.8 %) & Bennet (0.3 %) drop out of race.

Bloomberg waits for the next one.

In the meantime we can expect to see several Bernie smear blogs on here.

An old saying that's so true, to a point, have a look at this picture currently doing the rounds on Facebook -


This man can not be bought, there isn't enough money to do so, in any event why would he need to be these few old families have had complete control for years, under the current system of election for office in the west candidates have to campaign, this costs millions, they don't have that kind of money to throw around, so from the time they first join a political party they will have been watched, like a secret service looks to turn enemies into double agents, the more corrupt, sexually deviant the better, more to hold over them, their career in politics will have been carefully nurtured and every crime duly logged for later use, when the time is right they will be pushed forward to be the new puppet, to enact whatever plan their master has in mind for them, when their time in office is done they'll be rewarded, do you really think banks would pay millions for an old has been politician to give speeches just a way of accounting for their payment for services rendered.

We need untouchable politicians, assuming we don't want to go down the communist route, which has always led to a system just as corrupt, so until we can come up a way finding such people imo our best hope is people with enough money that buying them isn't easy as falling off a log.

In the midst of the worst ever global depression which has seen unprecedented worldwide job losses, with the US alone notching over 40 million, a murder takes place in Minneapolis, Minnesota which triggered nationwide demonstrations, some riots, the deployment of the National Guard and curfews all bracketed by a deadly pandemic which calls for social distancing, no crowds or mass gatherings in the first instance.

But in America, racial injustice is boiling over once again. Had it ever been quelled?

Anger, frustration and pain following the tragic death of George Floyd – an African American who suffocated while in custody from having a police officer’s knee pressing on his neck. Floyd died pleading “don’t kill me” and “I cannot breathe”. The officer Derek Chauvin has since been charged with third degree murder and manslaughter, even as his wife is reportedly filing for a divorce.

Then we see the contrast to this ugliness with the elation created by Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket which successfully launched at 20.10h GMT yesterday, putting two NASA astronauts and best friends – Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley – on their way to the International Space Station. A first by a private spaceship owned by a private company, watched by the world and by Donald Trump, who made the specific trip to the Kennedy Space Centre.

The US President needs a positive boost in this crucial election year given his handling of, and the misguiding tweets on, the coronavirus. But he's not helping himself with such tweets

Not exactly a catalyst for unifying a USA looked upon as the leader of the free world. Political and commercial issues with several countries, the abandonment of the World Health Organisation during this unprecedented pandemic and the withdrawal from the 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change are only some issues among others that has dropped Trump’s home and worldwide ratings to their lowest ever for a serving President.

The free world doesn’t need a narcissist for a leader, but one with empathy and extending a hand of friendship. Iron fists and power threats do not encourage anything but violence. Not for a 'united' States, not for a prosperous and peaceful people and certainly not for a global leadership’s role and an example. A pity.

Stay safe.

The UN has reported that the detention of Uyghur Muslims is a crime against humanity. There is evidence of torture, sterilisation, forced medical treatment, separation from families etc.
The report says that these people should be released.
China, of course, denies any such activity.

Putin's Warning:

During his campaign Trump promises to eliminate the national debt, and instead almost immediately gives the rich a huge permanent tax cut, and proceeds over the next 3 years to drive up the national debt by $8.3 Trillion.

Have the voters learned from history, or is the US doomed to repeat it ?

This took place in London but the message is for America.

Thus confirms we're facing a big security challenge.

I don't like to admit but based on the arrest of terrorists in Texas (refugees), it's clear we're in trouble.

This is interesting.

What's ahead between China and the US as a result of stealing the US Navy drone.

First it was located 56 miles west of the Philippine's bay which is an International water.

Second what's possible implications can possibly affect the two countries' relationship?

Anyone?

Note: China had been building massive military post in disputed waters and now this.

I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a f*cking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.”


“The next time they give you all that civic bullshit about voting, keep in mind that Hitler was elected in a full, free democratic election”"Now, there's one thing you might have noticed I don't complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from American parents and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses and American universities, and they are elected by American citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here... like, the public. Yeah, the public sucks. There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody: 'The Public Sucks. f*ck Hope.'"


"I have solved this political dilemma in a very direct way: I don't vote. On Election Day, I stay home. I firmly believe that if you vote, you have no right to complain. Now, some people like to twist that around. They say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain,' but where's the logic in that? If you vote, and you elect dishonest, incompetent politicians, and they get into office and screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You voted them in. You caused the problem. You have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote -- who did not even leave the house on Election Day -- am in no way responsible for that these politicians have done and have every right to complain about the mess that you created."
