Happy Sunday! I hope this finds you well. One twelfth of this year is already gone, I hope you have spent it great! I spent it studying most of the time and there is one more month ahead doing just that. Then perhaps a little rest. And then more studies. But also some exciting working projects to come in between. How about you all? The disturbing political actions of last weekend have not ceased to be disturbing over the course of the week. Here’s this week’s roundup. UN Says 20,000 Refugees Could Be Immediately Affected By US Ban And many…
Happy Sunday! Well, after this week, if you are still not worried about the next four years, then you’d better switch channels because you must be watching some other show by accident. I barely had the time to read everything alarmed bloggers posted this week, let alone report here about all that’s happened. I tried to pick posts on some of the most upsetting issues. Three Ways the Proposed Trump Refugee Ban is TOTALLY Unprecedented Let’s start with the most important, one of the bombshell news of the past few days. It is widely reported that the political staff haven’t…
Hello, Everybody! What a week! After some of the most disappointing and saddening scenes we have ever witnessed in politics we have also seen some of the most inspiring scenes just one day apart! I know there are people (mostly Trump supporters, I assume) who would say I and all non-Americans have no right to form an opinion, since he is not our president. Well, thankfully, he is not, but first, many of his actions will affect us all, and second, we do have our fair share of real-life political satire in Hungary, so when I refer to “them” I mean…
Happy Sunday, everybody! Only 51 weeks are left of this year now, so keep being smart with the goals you’ve set for 2017! I have had a busy work and study week, while it is incredibly cold here in Hungary. OK, perhaps nothing compared to Alaska or Canada, but pretty cold for our measures. Perfect for staying in and studying. At least the sun is shining, otherwise it would be really bleak. Here are some of the stories from this first cold week of 2017. A Tale of Two Turkeys 2016 had brought Turkey from being one of the most…
Happy Sunday! Christmas is approaching more quickly than I would be comfortable with. At this point, I don’t even know how am I going to finish off everything on my to do list in just six days. In world affairs, this week was mostly about very disturbing news from Aleppo. Clicking here you can find ways to help, if you can, please do. In other news, António Guterres took the oath of office this week to be the 9th Secretary General of the United Nations from January 1. In anticipation of his term we shouldn’t forget about the merits of…
Happy Sunday, everybody! I hope all is going well. Only three more working weeks before Christmas, and an awful lot to do. I get overwhelmed by even trying to plan ahead everything for the coming weeks. There were a lot of world affairs stories to recount this week, and a lot of great posts about everything as well. You can read just a handful of them below. Donald Trump’s Historic Phone Call with Taiwan’s Tsai Ying-wen And there was that, apparently, just the tip of the iceberg. American diplomacy is about to take unimaginable turns. Read about all the other…
Happy Sunday! I hope you all had a great week trying to figure out your stance on all issues affecting your lives these days. I was determined not to post about the President-Elect anymore until some new story comes up, but I didn’t have much choice, most of the blogs I follow were full of predictions (but mostly yet unanswered questions) of what’s to come in world affairs. On a more delightful note, it is Gilmore Girls week! Which coincides with Thanksgiving weekend in the US, and Black Friday all over the world. So I hope you’ll have a happy…
Hope everybody is well after this week of incredible news. The image I used is from the Daily Mirror frontpage from the day after. You can read its story clicking here. This was one of the best front pages in my opinion, but you can check out a bunch of others clicking here if you want to. And then there were the publications too. From the immediate expressions of shock through some more resigned expressions of shock to the well thought out analyses. The latter trying to find the reasons will give plenty of job for analysts in the years…
huffpostpolitics: America Elected A Man Who Said ‘Grab Them By The P***y’ Over The First Female President Donald Trump openly bragged about using his celebrity status to sexually assault women. And multiple women accused him of actually doing so. He said he was in favor of banning people from entering the United States based on their religion. He believes that women he finds physically unattractive or overweight are lesser people. He thinks that many Mexican immigrants are rapists. He mocked people with disabilities. He encouraged violence against protesters at his political rallies. For years, he was the most notable person…
