California just made a huge positive step in Healthcare

Governor Jerry Brown made California the fourth state in the US on Monday to allow physician assisted dying. Yes, only the fourth, and it's disappointing that the numbers (or the lack of) overshadow the real achievement. Everyone has the right to live, and everyone should have the right to die. Of course life is sacred, but the opponents of this law must not seriously think that California's true intentions are to have a genocide. They simply just want to help those people who have no hope of a cure, and are suffering. That's it, there is no story here, Everyone is allowed to make their decisions about their life and body. If you can go and get an abortion from a professional, you should also be able to go to your doctor to die. They are there to help you and to lessen your pain. In any way possible. Of course we support that background checks must take place, and several doctors (including psychologists) should sign off before you are allowed to die. You sho

Jeb for President!

We are finally able to side with one candidate for the Republican nomination in 2016, it's:
That's right, we are ready to endorse Jeb Bush, the former Governor of Florida, to be the Republican candidate come November. 

This time around, it was hard to chose someone from the Republican crowd. Yes, a crowd. A crowd of 17. But when you look at it closely, it really is only a handful of candidates that even have a chance. And out of those few, some are so far from our values, that we were able to narrow it down quite well in the end. 

We like Chris Christie. We like how outspoken he is, and how he just doesn't care about norms. However, he has been largely overshadowed by Donald Trump, who does the same thing. Christie's policies are good too, and he deserves respect for his record in New Jersey, but in the end, we just don't feel that he is strong enough in a final showdown. 

Donald Trump. Well no, we would never endorse him, but we have to give him some credit for what he has done. He has put on the map the issue of campaign financing, and brought back into the scene the Citizens United case. He really is the only candidate who can't be bought, and we couldn't agree with him more on the issue of political correctness. But we can't endorse him for President, as we believe his policies are lacking concreteness or are not to our values. Sorry Trump! But we are glad that you are in the race.

Ever since the debate, we have fallen in love with Carly Fiorina too! We actually think it is a good thing to be an outsider, and when you listen to her interviews, you can't help to like her. She has a strong and likeable charisma, and her policies sound great too. However, we just don't think that she will be strong enough.

Carly for Vice President though? We hope so! We would love that! She'd be great for winning women votes, especially if Hillary wins the Democratic race. A Republican ticket that can appeal to women, hispanics and take Florida for sure? Yes please!

We also like Marco Rubio. He has some great ideas on ISIS and Immigration, and performed well at the debate. He is however overshadowed by Bush in Florida and even though he is a hispanic, he doesn't seem to good with them this time around. He is however still very young. He will be a great politician, but 2016 is not his time! Rubio 2020? 2024? We would support that for sure! He is also our #2 choice for the VP position. 

Lastly, we like George Pataki. He is the only true Moderate Republican in the race, and since that is the part of the party that we are aligned with too, we can't help but to like him. His social positions are great and progressive, but his foreign policy and economic solutions are hardcore Republican. This is what we need. However he is old, and we just don't believe that he will ever be a strong candidate with these poll numbers. He is also from New York, so he knows Hillary. He can still help the party to win the election though.

We also looked at Kasich, he is not bad either, and can help the party win Ohio. Walker is alright. But we are heavily opposed to Cruz, Carson, Huckabee, Paul, Graham, Jindal, Gilmore and all the other less popular candidates.

Jeb Bush however is great. He speaks spanish, has a Mexican wife and appeals to the all important Hispanic community. The Black community likes him too, and he can win Florida, a key swing state. His polling against Hillary is also great in Virginia, Ohio and Pennsylvania - the other major kew swing states.

Bush is also great on the economy, reasonable yet progressive on immigration. Hardline on ISIS. And near-moderate on social issues. We like him! And we believe the surname is a good thing too! Don't be ashamed of that name! It's a much better omen than to be called a Clinton or Obama. Trust us.

Paris was attacked again

EPA On Friday, the 13th of November, everything was normal in Paris. People were happy that the weekend is here, and went out with friends and loved ones for some dinner and drinks, or for their favorite band's concert or cheered for their home nation as France took on Germany in an International friendly. The same night though, the evil also descended on the French capital and took away 130 souls. It was an absolute tragedy. People have been shocked to their cores. It is with great sadness that we write about this topic. It touched us very deeply too. That is partially why it took us so long to reflect on this issue, the other being the fact that there is still so many new developments surfacing continuously. The whole picture is not clear yet. It may never be. What is perhaps one of the most striking facts about this attack beyond the number of casualties, is the fact that this is the second tragedy in Paris this year alone. It has only been 10 months since gunmen at

Christie makes it 7

Iowa and New Hampshire have done their job again. The field is narrowing down, as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has become the latest candidate to drop out of the Republican race. The outspoken governor was an early frontrunner in this race, however he was hurt by the Bridgegate scandal back home, and was overshadowed in the crowded Establishment/Governor lane and by the rise of political outsiders like Donald Trump. After coming in at 6th place in the Granite State, Christie didn't believe in the race anymore, as he put all his eggs in one basket. It worked for Kasich, not for Christie, and that is why we are saying bye to him now. In the run-up to the 2012 election, Chris Christie was widely favored in the party, and thought of as a potential candidate. He was however not yet ready and did not join, despite the fact that Romney received a surprisingly strong challenge from Rick Santorum, Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich. He did however went on to campaign heavily for Romney la

Special Report Part 3: Migrant Crisis Live from Budapest

Budapest is a beautiful city. In fact even in an objective opinion, it can be called one of the most gorgeous creations. It simply is just amazing. It is also sometimes referred to as the centre of Europe, due to its geographical location. However, this year it also became the centre of something else. The migrant crisis that is engulfing the EU.  The sad truth of the matter is that the demographics  of the world is changing, and we must accept it. There is nothing we can do at this point to change or stop it. This year already, almost 100,000 migrants have crossed into Hungary alone (and thus the EU) illegally. And many more were probably missed by authorities. The ones who chose this route over the Mediterranean, usually come from warn torn regions such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan or from parts of the world where they have few opportunities and bad living conditions such as Pakistan and Kosovo. Many of them travel to Budapest on foot, and sleep with the capital's hom
