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 gunm...

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, b ut 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 vot...

Rubio Shines at the first debate

Florida Senator Marco Rubio has  performed very well in last night's first national Republican Presidential Debate, and according to most analysts he seemed to finish first.  The debate in Cleveland was closely followed by the whole world, as it is likely to have showcased the next possible President of the United States. Rubio answered each question very professionally, never really stumbled and seemed to be one of the crowd favourites. He also had a positive online and social media response from the public, and thus can be applauded as he seemed to have successfully broken out of the stalemate that represented  the candidates who were not in the top 3 before yesterday. But we will have to wait a few more days to see how the polls reacted. As for Donald Trump, who was standing in the centre of the stage, it was as we expected. He pretty much dominated the discussions and appeared the most on our screen. He had spats...
