Necessity is the mother of invention is a Plato proverb. It means that the primary driving force for new inventions is a real need.

After #SCOTUS ruling, 112 million residents reportedly face several hours worth of travel to their nearest abortion clinic.

Did Trump have an un-democratic US dream to enter the Capitol with an armed mob and interrupt the peaceful transfer of power?

American voters see Trump as engaged in nothing less than an attempt to overthrow the government by force. This amounts to criminal sedition. Add to these allegations interruptions of a congressional proceeding, defrauding an American election, destroying U.S. property, seditious conspiracy is now in play, and assaulting a Secret Service agent.

22 Mexicans, seven Guatemalans, and two Hondurans are among the people found dead inside a tractor-trailer in Texas.

A total of 50 believed to be migrants yearning to be free were found dead in a tractor-trailer in San Antonio, Texas.  At least 16 were transported to area hospitals suffering from heat exhaustion.

Russia Defaults Putin Dying?

A Russian government default on its international debts would be the first time in 100 years after time runs out for Moscow.

This little dictator has responded angrily to the situation, claiming the default has been engineered by Washington. It has insisted it is willing and able to pay. So he better put up, or shut up.

Russia's Central Bank no longer has access to around $300 billion of the country's total reserves of about $640 billion. The Russian government used U.S.-held reserves to make coupon payments on dollar-denominated debt on a case-by-case basis.

Regardless of which side of the abortion issue any American stands on, SCOTUS conservative jurists have managed to rewrite history.

The ruling reportedly signals a new battle at the polls for future elections. Republicans have won only eight of the last 14 presidential elections and two of those presidents did not win the popular vote, so the president has seemed like more or less a toss-up since the debacle of the Lyndon Johnson presidency.
