Point of View

UNITED STATES—I had a great Thanksgiving 2021. In 2020, my family kept it very small because COVID-19 was simply out of control. This year was different. What was supposed to be a small Thanksgiving gathering turned into something big where more people arrived, more food was available and more family bonding transpired? I expected the gathering to be small, but...

UNITED STATES—I’ve had a few tough weeks juggling personal problems in addition to work and health. Last week, I started to feel some significant pain in my left leg. I gave it about 24 hours to see if the pain would subside, because if I’m being honest it was not pleasant. I take myself to urgent care where I...

UNITED STATES—I am just going to call it: we are lazy when it comes to exercise. Too many Americans are gluttonous when it comes to food. We eat, and eat and eat, but we do little to no physical movement. The days of us actually cooking a meal at home has vastly changed. We like to eat or dine...

UNITED STATES—Well people, 2022 has come to an end and 2023 has arrived. Another year is over and a New Year has started. So the big question that is likely being asked by many people are what resolutions are you planning to implement for the New Year? It is something we all do, and the problem with any New...

UNITED STATES—Talk about a media circus bloodbath on Monday, April 24. Whew, that was the best way to describe what occurred with two of the biggest organizations when it comes to the media sphere.

UNITED STATES—If I had not taken a moment to think about it, I would have totally forgot that Monday, September 11, marked the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. It feels so long ago that event transpired, but it feels like so many Americans forget about that fateful day and how...

UNITED STATES—It is one of the most watched events that happens every single year, I’m referring to the Super Bowl. There is something about football that brings people together and everyone wants to tune in to watch. For 2024, the big game is happening in the city of sin, Las Vegas, and you better believe there will be plenty...

UNITED STATES—This weekend I was forced to have a tough conversation with myself. I’m in my 30s and it came to a realization that I’m not preparing for the future. I mean my parents are near the verge of retirement and I have members in my family who have reached retirement age, and it lead me to question if...

UNITED STATES─With the holiday season as I like to call it, fast approaching, many of us are placed in that conundrum where we have to deal with dreaded family members that we do not personally get along with. That is the thing about holidays, we love it because we get to spend it with family, but at the same...

UNITED STATES—This might sound odd, but I can vividly recall when the pandemic erupted in late march it started to have a major impact on crime in this country, it seemed to head downward. Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles are just a few of the major cities that has seen a spike in crime recently. Perhaps...
