bharathigiriPublished 2 years ago in The SwampWhat Does Vladimir Putin Really Want?
As Vladimir Putin masses military materiel and hundreds of thousands of troops along the Russian-Ukrainian frontier, the Russian leader is threatening to engulf the remainder of sovereign Ukraine, following his 2014 seizure of Crimea. The West is trying to understand the black hole at the center of the Kremlin’s opaque decision making, and it is failing miserably. Like a Matryoshka doll, the answer is hidden just beneath the surface.

It was clear over a year ago that the Tories believe they are above the law. Despite the many failings of the Tory government and their efforts to turn the UK into an elected dictatorship they held a firm lead in the polls, aided by a stubborn refusal by the official opposition to well, OPPOSE.

There's lots of debate and controversy over the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. Type in a search engine those exact phrases and you'll get article after article detailing how it came to be. The fact of the matter right now is that we're having to live with it. I've been a news reporter for the past year and my job has been to detail and write how the pandemic has affected the everyday, average American. Mom and pop shops, schools, doctors, college students. I've even covered the Governor giving out free McDonald's coupons to people who get the COVID-19 vaccine shot. Yes, that really did happen in the state of North Carolina.

Xi Jinping, the president of China, is no ordinary politician. Even by the standards of authoritarian China, where leaders are worshiped and feted by a fawning body politic, Xi has broken new ground in his attempts to fashion himself along the lines of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, the legendary Chinese statesmen, who had a larger than life impact on China and by extension, on the world. Indeed, as the Sixth Plenum of the CCP or the Chinese Communist Party concludes today, it would mark a significant inflection point for Xi as he attempts to consolidate power and continue in office for a record third term.
Rammohan SusarlaPublished 3 years ago in The SwampThe Infrastructure Bill and The Problem with “Politicians”
I believe that just like many Americans, I have been watching the drama in DC surrounding the current infrastructure bill and have one question, why? I know my roads are full of potholes, I know that my bridges are crumbling, I know that watermains are bursting around me, I know the power grid is old. To us its just that simple, we pay taxes and expect for government services to be maintained, but here in lies the problem. That is a narrow view of infrastructure, and this is the view that is being seen by too many elected officials in Washington. Not wanting to understand that infrastructure is so much more than just roads, water and power.

Senator Scott, they say representation matters. It is a slogan that has now, more than ever become more prevalent with greater meaning. However, you sometimes have to wonder who that representation is for. Back in April the State of The Union was delivered, however, was more attention paid to the Republican response to President Biden’s address that the actual address from the black community, but why is that. The simple answer, representation. In that response we saw a Black Republican Senator from a Southern Republican state represent himself as strictly a politician, maneuvering himself into position that favors his political agenda. There are many reasons why he was given the proverbial “side-eye” from the Black community when it was announced that he would give the response, because to the Black community two words that don’t go together are Black and Republican. We assumed, that before the response was even given that it would not be in line with what “we” believed. What was at issue was not his political party, but strictly his position, his stance. There was a “line in the sand” drawn, and he chose his side. With the response he assured everyone who witnessed it that partisanship won out over common sense.
Thomas NealPublished 3 years ago in The SwampPolitical Double Standards
On October 1st, 2021, Gladys Berejiklein resigned as Premier of New South Wales, Australia's most populous state. The resignation was unexpected, to say the least, coming just days before New South Wales began to lift restrictions after three months in Lockdown after an outbreak of the Delta COVID-19 Variant. Hours later, the action was explained by an announcement that ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) had launched an investigation into the Premier's actions three years ago, revealed by the ICAC investigation into former Senator Darryl McGuire. The public reason was that Gladys was sticking to her own principles, having previously been quoted that any Politician under investigation for corruption should step down.
