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...

Fiorina's efforts pay off


Carly Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard and Republican Presidential hopeful, has climbed in polls following her triumphant performance at the Cleveland Debates.

Prior to the debates, Mrs. Fiorina was generally polling around 1-2% both nationally and statewide, and thus only qualified for the second hand debate. If however, she can keep up her momentum, she should be making the next priority debate in California in September.

Mrs. Fiorina is now polling at 7th place in Iowa, with around 10% of the support. This is a huge jump for her campaign, and clearly shows the power of nationally screened live debates. On a national level, her support has quadrupled from 2 to 8% points according to the latest MSNBC poll, which put her in 5th place, even ahead of Governor Bush and Walker.

Of course this is only one poll, not an average one, but it is a good indicator.

Frontrunner Donald Trump dropped 12% in Iowa following the Debate, but nationally he increased by 1%, showing that the public is still open to his way of Politics. His drop in Iowa can be attributed to the rise of Fiorina and smaller increases from other candidates. Most analysts seem to agree that Trump performed decently in the debates, and his latest comments regarding the moderator did not seem to be having a huge negative effect on his standing.

However, what is clear from these and the other latest polls is that the Republican Party and American politics in general has reached an intersection. Candidates who haven't held elective offices and that are clearly not connected to the Washington status quo are clearly favored by the public. According to the same MSNBC poll, Trump is at 23%, Carson at 11% and Fiorina at 8%. 

People are fed up with the system and are looking for outsiders who they think will cleanse Washington palette. 

The same can be attributed to Bernie Sanders' rise in the Democratic field. While Sanders is a Senator too, people look at him as an outsiders, especially when compared to Hillary Clinton. Hillary seems to be deeply embroiled in many Washington Scandals, and the public seemed to have enough and they are voicing their opinion too.

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...
