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

Speculation surrounding Biden after meeting with Warren


More and more speculation is surrounding the Presidential ambitions of current Vice President Joe Biden. For weeks now reports have been discussing how Biden has been talking to his advisors and potential donors as he is trying to decide his future. And the biggest indicator has just been made public.

Senator Elizabeth Warren.

While many may not be familiar with Warren's name or record, she in fact is a heavyweight within the Democratic Party. The Massachusetts senator is famous for her liberal stance and is the face of the progressive wing of the party. She was in fact the expected opponent of Hillary Clinton up until earlier this year, when she declined to run (to the dismay of many in the party).

Most of her supporters ended up with Bernie Sanders, which explains his surge in the polls. He is now considered as a major candidate who is actually beating Hillary in some polls.

Senator Warren is a very influential and respected politician in Washington, and she is yet to endorse anyone in the race. No doubt that her support would be key for any of the candidates. It is also easy to see why Biden would like to know what Warren is thinking about the race, before he makes his announcement which is now expected to happen within weeks. 

Some analysts are saying that Biden is not only out to seek her opinion, but has actually asked the senator to be on his ticket. Waoh.

Warren is also trusted on the economy, so Biden is very much so interested to see her viewpoints and arguments, in trying to map out a campaign strategy that is superior to that of Clinton. One of the cornerstones of that strategy would certainly be Hillary's drastic like ability factor in recent polls. On average only every 3 in 10 American trusts Mrs. Clinton who is now also losing out top Republican candidates Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio in key swing states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. Even Trump leads her in the latest results in Florida.

Not many people would have guessed this.

Clinton clearly is in trouble and reportedly she seven cut her vacation short to make a few more campaign stops. Next time make sure you manage your emails better kids.

Bernie Sanders too know how powerful Warren can be. He practically owes his campaign to her. Sanders has been touring the country more in recent days and continues to surprise analysts with the big crowds that he is able to pull together. If Biden decides to run, Sanders will be hurt too.

In the meanwhile on the other side, Donald Trump also began to host big rallies and fill stadiums. Recently he has been bashed for not being able to do them because no one actually supports him. Well he began in Alabama with 30,000 supporters. He outdid Bernie right away. What else could possibly happen here?

Mitt Romney.

Yes, you heard that right. As the summer of Trump seemingly destroyed Jeb Bush's momentum, speculation has returned to Romney. Many activists and Republicans still love and adore Mitt, as does Finchley 1959, so it is no wonder that people see the fire in him. The fire that could finally win in 2016, and take the Republicans back to the White House. Romney has stated previously that he will not run, but we are still allowed to dream about it. 

Boy, what a week this has been in politics. Again.

This is an original material of Finchley 1959.

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
