Point of View

UNITED STATES—Well Donald Trump, um, President Donald Trump, you don’t always get what you want. Yeah, after months of professing to the American public that he would repeal Obamacare aka the Affordable Health Care Act, the Republican president, many of his constituents and the American public learned that Obamacare is here to stay, for now. Politicians gathered on Capitol Hill...

UNITED STATES—We have all heard the phrase ‘tough love,’ but what exactly does that mean? Does it mean being brutally honest, a complete a**, someone that shows little to no compassion? I mean there are plenty of ways to decipher that haunting phrase, but I think a bit of tough love is needed sometimes. Why? Well, it’s a teaching...

UNITED STATES—Feeling sick is NEVER a good feeling for any person. I mean this month I have been sick twice, yes I said it twice, which is very uncommon for me. On average, when I get sick it’s usually 1-2 times a year, normally during the peak of the summer months. However, for the oddest reason my body has...

UNITED STATES—For many Americans we work damn hard for every single penny we earn. So imagine if you had someone controlling every single penny that you made to benefit their own personal wellbeing. I already know what many of you are expecting: this is a column about marriage. No, this is a column about money management, spending without a...

UNITED STATES—We all knew the election of Donald Trump to the most powerful position in the world would be contentious, however, I never expected in a million years to hear about so many security breaches in less than 2 months of the man being in office. This is scary, and downright baffling to say the least. In just 2...

UNITED STATES—At long last, the mystery has finally been solved involving New England Patriots star Tom Brady and his missing Super Bowl jersey. There is indeed a reason I’m bringing this issue to the table because I cannot BELIEVE the level of media coverage this story got. I mean people have talked about this issue like its game-changing for...

LOS ANGELES—This year spring was marked by my first ever visit to Tomato-Mania, reminding me that it’s time to spruce up the garden and make new choices now that the drought is in the rear view mirror. Coming from the east coast, it’s hard to acclimate to spring in early March. Every year something pulls my attention to the arrival...

UNITED STATES—I do believe that education is the horizon to the future. Am I making the argument that if you obtain the highest education possible it guarantees a job? No. However, when you educate yourself you obtain new knowledge, things that you never expected to utilized in your life become somewhat important. For starters, I learned throughout my undergraduate...

UNITED STATES—I want you to make a choice, between this or between that. What is it about Americans being forced to make a decision that leaves us wanting to tear out our hair and rattle our brains? We are always worried about what if? What would have happened if we choose this outcome versus the initial outcome we selected?...

UNITED STATES—Sleep, it is the one thing that is so important to everyone’s daily lives. Too many of us, we are running into situations where we are not achieving a specified amount of sleep each night as recommended by doctors. We’ve had this discussion in the past; we should be getting at least 8 hours of sleep a night....
