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

Bill Clinton returns to the trail

Former President Bill Clinton began campaigning for Hillary Clinton this week. With less than four weeks before the first votes are cast, many campaigns are shaking up their tactics. Hillary is now enlisting Bill, Trump has ads and Christie is heading to Iowa. But will these new methods work?

 Just like Joe Biden though, Bill Clinton is known for his gaffes. In 2008 too, he made some controversial and unfortunate statements, and many saw him as a liability to his wife's campaign. This time around, he has been noticeably missing from the campaign trail, only appearing in some family gatherings with Chelsea Clinton too. However as 2016 arrives, Bill Clinton, one of America's most loved politicians, will start to heavily campaign for Hillary in both Iowa and New Hampshire.

 This is a change of direction for the campaign as they hope to solidify their lead in Iowa, and fight back in New Hampshire. Bill Clinton though seems to be tightly monitored and censored to make sure he says the right things and doesn't make a mistake. He was focused on Hillary's foreign policy excellence and her values as a woman leader. He also had some meet-and-greet's with members of the public in diners, but he stayed away from answering questions about his sex life. A topic that Donald Trump dusted off during the weekend. 

 Yes it is back. As if Republicans wouldn't already have thousands of fronts on which they can attack Hillary (and rightly). The 90's is the 90's, perhaps it would be better if it would stay that way.

 Donald Trump, although he doesn't seem to need it, always comes up with new lines of attack. Attacking Bill Clinton for his sex scandals and unfaithfulness surely plays well with the Conservatives and maybe even the women, but it is unclear if it will hurt the popularity of the Clintons. Another new strategy that Trump has started 2016 off with are TV ads. It is unbelievable, but for the past seven months of his campaign, he had no TV ads. He didn't need them, his controversial remarks got him more than enough coverage anyways.
So what changed now? He maybe slipping in Iowa ad New Hampshire polls, but not by that much. He probably just wants to make sure. 

 Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are not the only ones who start the year off differently. Chris Christie has returned to Iowa. Months after focusing his dying resources and campaign only on New Hampshire, it seems like it has payed off. He is now in a comfortable position, and could even win. Though he probably won't. Some people would stay there to make sure that he finishes well, but not Christie. He is now focusing on Iowa to have a better finish there, and hopes that maybe a good start can cement his victory in New Hampshire. We'll see.

 Jeb Bush is now increasing his focus in South Carolina and Nevada, while Bernie Sanders is attacking Wall Street even more, while courting supporters in New York and those Republican leaning voters who seem to favour Donald Trump. 

 Why not support the other crazy looking old white guy instead?

Ben Carson has a campaign shake-up. A terrible sign this late in the race. Honestly though, he should call it quits already. Rubio is pushing hard in New Hampshire, while Carly Fiorina is in Iowa. Anyone else? No. No other candidate matters anymore. Sorry.

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
