It has a functioning economy and a strong military. While the ongoing Russian invasion has caused significant damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure and economy, it is not accurate to say that Ukraine is a failed state. Continue reading →

June 19, 2023 /Social/ — Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the end of slavery in the country. The holiday falls on June 19, which is the date in 1865 when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas to announce that the enslaved people in the state were free, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed.

Juneteenth has been celebrated by African Americans since the late 1800s, and it became a state holiday in Texas in 1980. In the decades since, every state but South Dakota has formally recognized Juneteenth as a state or ceremonial holiday. In 2021, President Joe Biden signed a bill making Juneteenth a federal holiday.

June 12, 2023 /Politics/ — In a game of cards, the trump card is the most powerful card in the deck. It can be used to beat any other card, regardless of its rank or suit. This gives the player who holds the trump card a significant advantage over the other players.

The trump card is often used as a metaphor for any advantage or resource that gives someone an edge over others. For example, a company might have a patent on a new technology that gives it a monopoly in the market. This patent would be considered the company’s trump card, as it would allow it to charge high prices for its product and prevent competitors from entering the market. Continue reading →
