Labor Week

UNITED STATES—From time to time, we have to take a moment and truly look at the budget and try to make sense of what is coming into the household and what is going out. This is something that many Americans fail to properly do. I will admit I am one of those individuals as well. We look at our...

UNITED STATES—Let’s talk about an issue that I think should be discussed a lot more in today’s society than we discuss: divorce. Divorce is something many people have encountered, while others come from families of divorce. Back in the days the idea of a divorce was second nature; it was something that people were expected not to do. If...

UNITED STATES—Yesterday was a difficult day for many Americans, many people across the world. After hearing about the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena after an Ariana Grande concert in the United Kingdom I was left numb. I couldn’t do anything, but sit and watch the TV screen to get updates on the incident, what transpired, how many were...

UNITED STATES—It’s probably the biggest news story of the week, well the past 7 days to be honest. I had planned to talk about this issue last week, but I decided to let things simmer a bit and really take in what has transpired.

UNITED STATES—Human beings can be emotional creatures; we sometimes react without really thinking why or how we’re reacting to a particular situation. I’m not a believer that one should bottle in their emotions; doing so can cause major stress and wear and tear on one’s body. You have to find a way to release, unleash or exhibit those emotions...

UNITED STATES—Last week was a big week for the United States as President Trump ordered a military strike against a Syrian airbase after a chemical weapons attack that left dozens of people in Syria dead. More than 50 Tomahawk missiles were launched in the attack at the Al Shayrat Airfield to make it crystal clear to Syria and Syrian...

UNITED STATES—Wow, wow, wow. Have you seen the video of the United Airlines flight that was posted all over social media? Man it seems like every single week, a new company is facing a media crisis. Last week it was Pepsi, however, this one for United Airlines is one that is strange, upsetting and completely unacceptable. For those not in...

BERKELEY—A pair of dueling rallies will be held Saturday, March 15 at Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley, and they may very well turn violent. This follows demonstrations in Berkeley this past February and March that also turned violent. Both events have just over 200 people signed up as going on Facebook. The pro-Trump “Patriots Day” event is...
