Point of View

UNITED STATES—Oh, President Donald Trump, why, oh why can you just focus on trying to “Make America Great Again” as you claim, instead of causing further friction and divide in the country. I mean who would have ever expected a tweet between Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry would create so much uproar. It has been a tradition for...

UNITED STATES—Have you ever heard the phrase, “It has to be perfect?” Of course you have, I think we all have. The idea of perfection is something that we must all aim for, but are we creating an expectation that is impossible to achieve? Its something that many of us hear from our parents, our teachers, our bosses, our family,...

UNITED STATES—There is a topic that I really want to discuss and I think it’s something that should be of importance to all Americans: the importance of an apology. We sometimes say or do things that we don’t necessarily mean, and as a result we find ourselves in situations where an ongoing feud or distaste for a particular person...

UNITED STATES—The biggest shopping day of the year is fast-approaching us. For those not in the know, I’m referring to Black Friday or what has somewhat shifted to Black Thursday. For years, this is the day where those retailers who have struggled all year to turn those numbers that are in the red to black. Retailers can make so...

UNITED STATES—Social media, it has its benefits, but at the same time it has massive drawbacks. I still think back to nearly a decade ago, where social media was just beginning to become prevalent, but was not as prevalent as it has become today. Why? It is everywhere and no matter what you do it can easily make internet...

UNITED STATES—Last week I heard stunning news that left me slightly numb. A police officer placed a child (who was 9) in cuffs. It wasn’t only the fact that the officer placed this child in cuffs, it’s the fact that the cuffs where placed near his biceps, a place that created extreme discomfort for the child for anyone who...

UNITED STATES—It is a question that many people who are not so tech savvy have asked themselves rather its smarter to have a debit card or cash? It is something that I have debated for years, and I mean years people. Just 3 months ago, I finally got a debit card after being constantly annoyed by my bank. I...

UNITED STATES—We’ve talked about it before, and yet again we have another situation where violence has erupted in the United States from the direct result of a madman with a bevy of ammunition that one should not have in their possession. We have talked about the issue of mental illness and how more should be done as a government...

MALIBU—My daddy always said… fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. He wasn’t big on giving second chances, although he was the most forgiving father and gave me millions of them…. Yet to others, never a second chance. I remember our biggest argument was right after my mum died. I was gutted. In 90 days,...

UNITED STATES—As much as I love Christmas, I honestly love the weeks right after Christmas a bit more. Why? The deals after the holidays are so grand, you wish you’d actually wait till AFTER the holidays to buy gifts and give to people. I mean, most of us are clamoring to get budgets in order, viewing those receipts and...
