Economic collapse is upon us
I remember being a kid when my parents had to go through a financial crisis. It was back in 2008 and it was caused by the American housing bubble. Back then I only felt it partly because my parents made sure that I and my sister were well-taken care of.

One of the hottest topics in American news today is the leaked draft opinion of the US Supreme Court, which seems to lean towards overturning the landmark case of Roe v Wade.

The Swamp Fox
When Mel Gibson portrayed Francis Marion in the film "The Patriot" that portrayal was more like a Revolutionary duration Rambo than the true man himself regarded as The Swamp Fox. Most of the records of the American Revolution centers on George Washington. But, it was the courage, the stealth like cunning, and the tenacity that he displayed in a time when the future of America was once actually on the line that has cemented the Swamp Fox's vicinity in records as one of Americas Greatest Patriots and subsequent to George Washington a actual Revolutionary War hero.

I am just going to say this: Society hates women. Is this a fact? No. Am I being dramatic?

How many times have you ever heard anyone feel “disappointed” that they are having a boy? In some cultures, women who give birth to girls are either punished or have gone to great lengths to “get rid of girls”. As for women in America, we are faced with a dire and disturbing road as we look at everything happening for the last couple of years.
India pursues its strategic objectives, whether in Russia or the United States.

The Ongoing Crisis Should Not Be Wasted
It is always wise to try to search for the positives around you, especially in the midst of a crisis situation. It may seem impossible to accomplish at the time, and you may not always have control over the circumstances. However, you do possess the power to control how you react and control the crisis as opposed to being controlled by the crisis. Instead of getting distracted and lost in turmoil, if one chooses to focus on any good that can emerge from it like knowledge gained, lessons learned, and potential growth, neither the future nor the present needs to be so grim.
