Türkiye Recalls Ambassador in Response to Assyrian Genocide Acknowledgement
January 20th (Ankara, Türkiye) – Türkiye (formerly known as “Turkey”) has immediately recalled its ambassador back home for consultations in response to the signing of the second of ten Executive Orders the newly installed President of the United States presented during the inauguration ceremony. Further, the NATO ally and host to two American military bases—one of which contains tactical nuclear weapons—summoned the United States Ambassador for a dressing down, reportedly by the President of Türkiye directly. While Türkiye and the United States are often at odds on the world stage, the alliance between the two countries has remained steadfast for decades and issues are usually quietly resolved behind the scenes.
Is Hell really for children?
I just saw a headline about Child Labor laws and I thought, 'wow, it's been awhile since this topic of conversation has been brought up.' I immediately thought about Martha Stewart and her time in jail for the crime of employing "underage" workers, or so "they" said. In other countries of course the laws are different, if they even have laws, and there are many children put to work. As a huge fan of the Olympics, I spent most of my "spoiled American childhood" pondering why other countries like Russia, China, and even smaller countries than America could produce better skaters or gymnasts. America has all the equipment and wealth, so how was it possible? How did Japan come out of WW2 as the leader in technology? Sony? Well, I could ponder these things forever I suppose, but I ended my quest for answers about it when I had heard that poor Martha Stewart had to spend time in jail or prison for some kind of "child labor law" infringement. I suppose they had to beat up Martha because they were sick of fine china on the dining room table or that she was a better chef or had more money selling dishes. She should write an anthem for petty American cop wannabes titled "The Vengeance We Seek". I'm sure the experience only made her stronger and wiser, but I am ashamed of that part of American history. As if the crucifying of O.J. Simpson or Bill Cosby isn't bad enough. Some people still ask "Has it really gotten that bad?" as if they are totally unaware of how History can not be separated from the future as long as memory remains loyal. I never forgot the voice of one who said to me, "When will you believe in nothing?" or "When do you stop being a mother?" I wonder if I lacked the power of my conviction.

A Last Hope
Imran khan ,full name Imran Ahmad Khan Naizi born on 5 Octuber 1952 in lahore ,Pakistan.He was once a Pakistani cricket player (team captain) who won the heart of people by winning a world cup in 1992 against England.He is also the 22nd Prime minister of Pakistan from August 2018 until April 2022, a founder and chairmen of pti (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ). From the day IK join politics he is facing alot of difficulties but never loses hope he is becoming the craze of Pakistani nation because all the recent politicans just use our motherland for there own self benefits .According to a report by fox news Point,the most corrupt prime minister in the entire world was Nawaz sharif .He was dismissed and disqualified for corruption charges.Sharif family and Zardari family ,both are well known gangsters and both had been in power and ruined the country .Still they are the main hindrance in way of Imran khan they are letting Imran khan to rule on Pakistan .Imran Khan has become the first Pakistani prime minister to be removed from office after losing a no-confidence vote in parliament.that no-confidence vote was led by the opposition parties, the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). Some key figures are the current Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif (leader of PML-N), Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, and Asif Ali Zardari (heads of PPP). Khan has been harsh on the opposition, calling them “a gang of thieves,” threatening to expose their corruption and claim accountability, and the no-confidence vote was seen as an attempt to save themselves.However, the opposition pointed to Khan’s weak performance during his time as Prime Minister, with spiraling inflation and a massive devaluation of the rupee. Additionally, Khan has been criticized for appointing Usman Buzdar as Chief Minister in the Punjab province, who later was accused of widespread corruption. The opposition eventually won the no-confidence vote against Khan in April, as dozens of party members defected and some key allies voted against him. Yet, critical voices point to the army as the decisive actor who tipped the scales to the point that resulted in Khan’s removal, as Khan lost its support during his time as Prime Minister.

Rule of Law or Banana Republic?
Never before in American history has a sitting president or former president been arrested for criminal activities. This may change this week as New York authorities are preparing to indict former president Donald J. Trump on an obscure, yet illegal, activity involving disclosure of funds to pay a call girl. Whether these were business funds, personal funds, or campaign funds, remains in question--as does whether or not it was properly reported.

Xi and Putin praised their relationship prior to their "peaceful journey" to Moscow.
As Xi Jinping made his way to meet with Russia's internationally isolated president, Vladimir Putin, the two leaders lauded the strength of their alliance on Monday. Despite criticism from Western nations over China's perceived tacit support of Russia's war in Ukraine, Xi referred to his trip as a "journey of friendship, cooperation and peace". In a signed article in the Russian Gazette and carried by China's state news agency Xinhua, Xi expressed his eagerness to collaborate with Putin in formulating a new vision for their relationship. China has maintained a neutral stance in the Ukraine conflict and the country's foreign ministry pledged last week to facilitate peace negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow.

Guantanamo Bay to Shut Down, Terrorists Brought to Mainland
January 20th (Miami, FL) – Just minutes into the beginning of this administration, the new President issued the first of what would end up being ten Executive Orders. While it is traditional for the White House to provide the press with the text of such orders with detailed explanations and examinations beforehand, this President opted to surprise everyone and only produce that information after announcing them to the world. With the ink of the President’s signature still wet on the official documents, many questions remained about not just the logistics of the President’s actions, but on the legality.
