Ménage à Trois

Submitted by ub on

Two is company and three is a crowd... Is it a saying used to suggest that it is better to be in a group of only two people than to have a third person with you as well? It is used when two people are relaxed and enjoying each other's company but another person would make them feel less comfortable.

But do not tell Ryan Scoats, who earned undergraduate and masters degrees and is involved in penetrating research at the University of Bath, researching masculinities under Professor Eric Anderson.

Saturday Night Massacre

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This raises the question whether those who can remember are not doomed, to be swept along by the majority who cannot?

The last Presidential election was a particularly toxic for Americans. The tone of the race was negative and some political scientists worried the election could scar a generation of young voters, making them less likely to cast ballots in the future. Name-calling and accusations thrown between the candidates were just the beginning of the vitriol.

30th anniversary of the 1987 Crash

Reminiscent of the terrible 2005 Hurricane season, the third quarter of 2017 witnessed a series of
natural disasters which caused historic flooding in Texas, ravaged the entire Florida peninsula and
devastated the island of Puerto Rico. Out West, destructive wildfires are leaving some of
America’s finest wineries in ashes. All are producing promises of government assistance which
has economists busy calculating the stimulative effects of the increased spending. Replacing
almost a million cars in Houston and rebuilding homes throughout the affected areas are sure to

Politics As Usual?

While politicians on both sides of the aisle are retiring, a shake-up is urgently needed in all parties because too many longtime officials, members of Congress, US Senators, state and local politicians have become indebted to special interest groups by massive donations to their campaigns which represent dangers to our democratic system.

USA voters should consider a clean sweep and search for new leaders who are satisfied with their base salaries and work for the greater good of everyone.

Hurricane Maria is one of the worst natural disasters on record and caused catastrophic damages and a major humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico. These are American citizens, so don't they deserve the same treatment as any others?

How do you solve a problem like Maria... How do you catch a clown and pin him down?

Real Bigotry

Submitted by ub on

Everyone knows that @realbigotry or #white-supremacy goes against global values. Intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself should never be practiced.

Any person who is obstinately or intolerantly devotes their own opinions and prejudices especially one who treats the members of a group with hatred and intolerance.

No one should be intolerantly devoted to their own opinions and prejudices or treat the members of any racial or ethnic group with hatred and intolerance. PERIOD END OF SENTENCE!!!

One hundred years ago, more than a million Puerto Ricans were granted United States citizenship. It wasn’t exactly a gift because President Woodrow Wilson asked Congress for a declaration of war on Germany. The point of extending American citizenship to Puerto Ricans was to get 20,000 to participate in the World War.

Trump's Niger Problem

Submitted by ub on

Has Niger turned into Trump's Benghazi? A nation of nearly 21 million people, the Republic of the Niger is landlocked in Western Africa, named after the Niger River. An attack which resulted in the deaths of four elite US special forces with two others wounded when their unit, which was assisting local forces, was ambushed by local members of Islamic State in southwest Niger has drawn many questions the Trump administration apparently wishes to ignore with fake news. Congresswoman warns Niger ‘might wind up to be Mr. Trump’s Benghazi’ — is she right?

PR Catastrophe Continues

Submitted by ub on

It has been almost one month since Maria slammed into the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on September 20, and the US island is still reeling from the devastation the hurricane caused. As Hispanic Heritage month ends, this is what the US government finds on its plate. There are over 3 million Puerto Ricans, who are American citizens living in this US territory, which is larger than 21 states.
