MESSI’S FIFA MESS

THE WORLD CUP REQUEST TO PLAY IN AMERICA WAS MADE BY PRESIDENT OBAMA
In 2009 President Obama formally wrote a letter to FIFA supporting the U.S. bid to host either the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.
This year, following the games, an investigation is ongoing, and FIFA has not yet determined whether any players, coaches or the Argentine federation will face disciplinary action. Futbol superstar Lionel Messi sent a message to his fans, a day after the defending champions fell to Spain 1-0 in extra time at the World Cup final. Messi was left in tears and with his international future uncertain after he was unable to conjure up one more piece of magic to save Argentina. FIFA has now launched an investigation into Argentina for actions during and after their World Cup loss.

Congress was granted many powers under Article I of the Constitution. Recently, lawmakers under current GOP majorities have ceded much of their authority to the president, while Washington is plagued by gridlock, and Congress is marginalized. The US House and Senate are for the most part failing to address many problems facing Americans, and whether they are optimistic that Congress beset by partisanship, gerrymandering, and the president's pressures to do his bidding – could one day find its way again.

FALSE SOCIAL

When we asked Americans what makes them proud of the U.S., freedom was the most common answer.
Fascism: "A strong nation restored through unity, strength, and decisive leadership."
Communism: "An economically just society achieved through revolutionary state power and collective ownership."
Democracy: "Freedom and self-government through equal political participation, protected rights, and accountable institutions."
THANK YOU USA

Happy Birthday, America. Political and social influence can take many forms, from main street to city halls to the campaign trail to social media. As a social US citizen, I have unequivocally denounced communism. The human beings reportedly arrived in North America from Asia and Siberia approximately 13,000 to 13,500 years ago.

FLYING TIGERS

In the Chinese zodiac, the Golden Tiger combines the Tiger's natural courage and leadership with the Metal element. This creates a magnetic, ambitious, and fiercely determined personality. They are known for their sharp intellect, strong moral compass, and an unstoppable drive to achieve their goals.
The Tiger is considered the king of beasts in Chinese culture and is a powerful symbol of bravery, protection, and power. Golden Tigers are frequently depicted in art and feng shui to symbolize protection against misfortune and the voracious attraction of wealth. For example, the Golden Tiger with Wealth Pot is a common protective artifact in Chinese tradition, believed to safeguard finances and bring good fortune.
