After All These Years, I'm Still Not a Partisan Hack (Despite the Two-Party System's Best Efforts). Here's Why!
I was not a fan of Hillary Clinton before, during, or after 2016. For one thing, she voted for the Iraq War and other so-called "military interventions." I knew that she, just like Donald Trump, and so many others, could take us into another bullshit war at any moment.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
I remember well when Justin Trudeau made headlines in 2015 for a spot in Canada's coveted top office. His victory as a member of the federal Liberals made a big splash that was felt in many countries around the world. I guess we can see why his name was plastered all over international newspapers, magazines and news outlets from different television channels. Even people who haven't even heard of Canada's current prime minister at the time learned about him through these sources of information. He is young, charismatic and seemed progressive and open for opportunities. But not all that glitters is gold. It has been over five years since Justin Trudeau has been Canada's Prime Minister. We have seen plenty of surprises, and I have been surprised as well. Trudeau has done great things for the Canada too and I have noted them as well.

"F" IT! Pick Politicians Randomly!
One day, my Dad and I were talking, as bitter commies do. We were talking politics and the topic of salaries came up. Historically, in many democracies, politician salaries were originally relatively low, more fitting with what was seen as a noble civil duty. As such, it became apparent that only those already wealthy could afford to live on such a low income, so it was raised so that anyone can become a politicians. My Dad defended this by saying;

Tsar Putin
In the 1990s, the Russian Federation was in the depths of a disparaging identity crisis. The Soviet Union, a massive continental geopolitical behemoth that had lasted for around seven decades, collapsed, and in 1992, a new Russian Federation rose from its ashes. The fall of the Warsaw Pact and Iron Curtain contributed to its fall but crumbling internal and external blunders also had defining roles to play. The failed war against Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 and the Perestroika and Glasnost reforms paved the way to internal and international destruction of Soviet influence. A strong number of people still remember the so-called glory days of the Soviet Union. It was all they've ever known at the time. One of them was undoubtedly Vladimir Putin.

The Great Revelation of The Pandemic: Catastrophic Leadership.
In last week's British newspapers, The UK prime minister, Boris Johnson is quoted to have said: " let the bodies pile high in their thousands, as opposed to having a third lock down". This is despite suffering from the illness and coming very close to death himself.

Fallacious Reasoning
In order to understand what a fallacy is, one must also understand the difference between validity and truth. A fact can be true or false, but only an argument can be valid or invalid. Fallacies have to do with false arguments, not false facts. Likewise, one can tell a lie without committing a fallacy, although it is also possible to do both at the same time.

Check Your Pockets for Scandal
Calvin Chase shook his head as he crept away from the crowd listening to the presentations. U.S. Senator Gerald “Jerry” Stevens’ speech had been his motivation to bolt. He knew that he would, by nature and by occupation, disagree with every word the senator said, but today’s comments at the chamber of commerce’s annual political soiree were beyond bearable.

David Lloyd George: The Great Dynamic Force or The Great Scoundrel of British Politics?
David Lloyd George was born in Manchester on the 17th of January 1863, Manchester. He was brought up from the age of three months in rural wales. His father, William George, who worked as a teacher in Liverpool, moved back to Wales on account of his ill health, passed on in June 1864. This led his mother to move to her brother's, who worked as a shoemaker.
