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...

Canadian Cruz

Is he, or is he not? That is the current question on the Republican side. At least to Donald Trump. And he seems to think that Ted Cruz is not a real American, and should not be eligible to be the President. How is this possible? Well Cruz was born to an American mother, but in Canada.

 Donald Trump keep questioning if Ted Cruz can legally be elected as President. Cruz is technically a full righted American, so there should be no reason why he couldn't be President. He wouldn't waste all this money on the campaign if he would knew that legally he is not eligible. The whole thing is a total nonsense, and Mitt Romney seems to think so too. A vast array of establishment Republicans have come out to support Cruz on this issue. It seems like they are even keen to support him, in fact anyone, just not Trump.

 But Trump being Trump keeps bringing it up, and it seems like it may work. Some people may question their support for Cruz, and may switch back to Trump. The candidate with the closest views. And the latest polls may back Trump. While on average Cruz is still ahead, Trump won the two latest polls in Iowa for the first time since November. Could Canada bring down Cruz too after Walker?

 As many people have started to question Cruz, he is still laying low. He refuses to engage with Trump, but many see this as a sign of weakness. Many analysts now also think that he may have peaked too early in Iowa. Cruz originally wanted to lead around now, not in early December when he shot to the top. With now less than three weeks to go, this is just another sign that Iowa will be close for the Republicans.

 But the Democrats too.
For the first time in months, Bernie Sanders has also polled better than Hillary Clinton in Iowa. This is at the same time that he holds onto his established lead in New Hampshire, and nationally on average this is the closest he ever came to Mrs. Clinton. The Bernie Momentum is back and is in full swing. There is now a real chance that the Vermont Senator can win both Iowa and New Hampshire. South Carolina is strongly in favour of Mrs. Clinton, but Nevada may be too close to call as well. Hillary Clinton should panic, but we are sure she already is. 

 It would be a shame if 2008 would repeat. Well, not really.

 Hillary on the other hand keeps hitting Bernie on his gun record. It is true that it is questionable, but it is not like Hillary has a straight record. On Anything. But Sanders has stated that he is open to take another look at some of his votes in the Senate. This should boil over quickly. Hillary even tried to bring out the record for Patrick Leahy, the other Senator from Vermont, who has a very different record. But nobody cared. Ooops. 

 Another thing that backs Bernie is that he seems to be more electable than Clinton surprisingly. In most of the head-to-head polls against the leading Republican candidates, Sanders does a lot better. Clinton would have a 50/50 race against even Trump. Let's not talk about Cruz, Bush and Rubio.

 Maybe Rubio's fancy boots help him in the polls. Why can't he be fashionable. Leave him alone.

 Bush is still low in most polls, but he is getting bigger crowds than ever. We still believe that he will do rather well on polling day, as many people in the booths will fail to go through with supporting people like Trump and Cruz. And Bush could receive a lot of those votes. And despite coming second in a recent New Hampshire poll, he is still in deep trouble. And he knows it.

 The other important politics news of the day is Obama's last State of the Union. This will be another one of his speeches where he will go on about all the progress and successes that he made in the last year. But he hasn't really got any data to prove it.

 Should be interesting...

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 gunm...

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 th...

President Le Pen?

France held the first round of it's regional elections yesterday, resulting in a historic win for Marine Le Pen's National Front. In the first electoral test since last month's attacks on Paris, Le Pen triumphed by winning in her own region, and carrying 5 other races out of 12. Next Sunday, things could change in the second round, but the odds are in the National Front's favour. Whatever the results will be, it is clear that France is now a three party system. The people of France have raised their voices, and it is clear what they want. Just like in America, the anti-establishment sentiment is fast gaining ground. After the attacks on Paris that left 130 people dead, security has become the most important topic for people. Despite President Hollande's strong and confident response, his party couldn't do better than the third place. Former President Nicolas Sarkozy's party, The Republicans, have came second in a race that is seen as a very importan...
