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

Hillary: It's time to panic

Not everyone will agree, but it may be time for Hillary to finally seriously panic about this race. Months have passed since her email scandal began, and since the rise of Bernie Sanders, and she is still not handling it that well. And the future doesn't look all that great either.

Hillary has got to stop the tide. And she is trying. She is giving more interviews and she is out there more, but Bernie is still the one that has the momentum. Some would argue that even Joe Biden has more momentum than Hillary's campaign. Hillary's campaign doesn't seem to be focused, it's like they are in denial.

Let's look at polling closer. Hillary Clinton is losing to Jeb Bush in Michigan. In Michigan. If a Democrat can't take Michigan, there are some real problems here. Moreover, she is only barely beating Trump there. Hillary has clearly slipped in the polls.

On a national scale too, she has got some major problems. In the latest poll, she got 33% of the vote. Which is not bad if you don't know the rest of the story. 33% is her lowest number so far. Six months ago, she had about double of that. And her lead too, for the first time, fell to single digits. She leads Joe Biden by 8%, and Bernie Sanders by 9%. It's bad for Bernie that Joe Biden beats him even without announcing officially, but its even worse for Hillary that he is this close to her. 

What happened Hillary?

And things will get a lot worse if Joe Biden actually joins. He will automatically get a bump in polls due to all the media coverage. But what is worst, that he is much more likely to split Hillary's support than Bernie's. If Biden joins, Hillary could slip to 3rd place. Now that would be a complete disaster for her.

Let's look at the three states that vote in the first round. Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. In New Hampshire Bernie leads relatively comfortably, Iowa is practically a head to head race as they are tied. And South Carolina is Biden's second home apparently. Hillary is ahead there now, but if Biden joins, he is likely to take it. So we could end up with Hillary losing all three starting states. This was unthinkable even just a few months ago.

Now, let's think about this rationally. Hillary is still the most likely to win the nomination. She has got the name recognition, money, and endorsements. And her campaign is focusing on the later states and the south. But still. Bernie and Biden are right there behind her, and her email saga will carry on for several months. It could potentially be catastrophic for her!

Sure the debates will help as she is a good debater. But so is Bernie and Biden, and people will be looking at them. She might do well, but she will probably lose support, as the debates are the perfect place for outsiders like O'Malley to gain.

So Hillary, it is time to panic and change up your campaign. Or you can follow Scott Walker.

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

Is Spotify about to die?

It’s a bit of a long shot, but Jay-Z’s latest announcement is certainly leading the music industry in the direction of the death of Spotify.  On March 30, Jay-Z along with 15 other musical icons, such as Madonna, Kanye West, Coldplay and Rihanna announced Tidal’s plans to take over the world. The world of music, that is. On top of all of this, Tidal continues to make headlines as last week, Beyonce shared a surprise song ‘Die With Me’ on the streaming site, to mark her and Jay-Z’s seventh wedding anniversary. Have you heard of Tidal yet? If not, it’s probably because you’ve been listening to your free music on Spotify instead. How dare you! Shame on you! At least, that is what Jay-Z wants you to believe. Tidal is a subscription-based service, which allows you to stream songs and music videos on your devices. What’s new about that? Probably the fact that it offers a better sound quality than Spotify and has the backing of some of the biggest stars in the music industry.

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
