Prime minister Jacinda Ardern inspires: NZ achievements

I was in shock when my dad showed me this video and so I wanted to share it here. Wow. Jacinda Ardern, who is the prime minister of New Zealand, shared two years of achievements in a video that is, well, mind-blowing. Why is it exceptional? You will understand when you start to watch it. The number of achievements by her government, especially during the pandemic, is jaw-dropping. This video is to celebrate the two-year creation of the government under her leadership. What are the inspiring achievements of Jacinda Ardern's government? Among the key achievements of her government that she…

Our Youth Need - A poem.

Our Youth Need... The young have not been so lucky, their world defined by death and rage, We had freedom, they have a cage, locked up safe from the dying spree. The fool and wisdom disagree, on how to save democracy. Our youth drown in hypocrisy, as blue label fights red label. They need foundations firm...stable, with no games of bureaucracy. I wrote this poem in part because of my son. A couple of months ago he came in contact with a classmate who had Covid-19. That of course meant he had to be quarantined. We all wore masks...because he's…

54 Not Out

On the 54th anniversary of our Independence as it is referred to signify the slashing of our navel string from former empire, several issues floated around the fertile mind of a lowly blogmaster about what to blog. We will read, listen view the usual scripting by program directors at the media houses. Barbadians everywhere will share on social media platforms things barbadianna. This is a good thing. The BU household is proud of what our tiny 21x14 little rock has been able to achieve with negligible natural resources. Like many countries across the globe, we are experiencing challenges that come…

Monday morning rundown (Say goodbye, November.)

1.  Ah yes, we've arrived at the final day of November in the year of our Lord 2020. Did you hear a loud gong? That announcement should be followed by a deep throoonnnnnggggg or BOOM. Maybe even some pyrotechnics in the background. That's how I'm feeling about reaching the end of November in this particular year. 2.  November 30th means we've officially survived an impeachment trial, Harry and Meghan stepping down from royal family duties, a brutal democratic primary, the shock and awe of global activity grinding to a halt in March, a stock market crash, and idiotic Spring Breakers partying it…

Day 2882: Wait for it.

Wait for it. Joe Biden has been declared the next President of the United States. Again. Wait for it. I sang “The Impossible Wait” at a remote Open Mic last night. Wait for it. I had to wait until everybody else had performed first. Wait for it. My ex-husband wrote me this: “That was worth waiting for. I hope it was recorded. If it gets posted online it could make you a star.” Wait for it. https://youtu.be/VoGp7Ve7M3g Wait for the photos I took yesterday. Wait for it. It takes steadiness, character, and commitment to wait for it. For those who…

Time for a "Me Too," styled campaign in Australia?

Photo by Shamia Casiano on Pexels.com I am disappointed that the way women are treated in Australian politics, appears to be regressing. Last week, the Prime Minister interrupted our female Families Minister, when journalists directly asked HER, for HER view, on the sexist culture in Parliament. He interjected and directed debate in the way that would divert attention and benefit him before allowing her to answer the media's question. After being interuppted by the PM, this is what the families Minister Anne Ruston finally said when she got to be heard. “Well, I can only reflect on my own experience…

Donald Trump May Be Out of the White House, but Is He Out of Politics?

As states certify their election results, President Trump faces down increasingly improbable re-election prospects. Although some, including myself, have argued that there is still an extraordinarily narrow, legal path to victory for Trump, the burden of proof required to achieve such an outcome appears insurmountable. As of today, we have seen no evidence of mass voter fraud, meaning hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of fraudulent ballots. Although we have seen many individual instances of voter fraud as well as severe election mismanagement in many counties, there simply is not enough evidence yet to overturn the election results…

Croatian Writer Dubravka Ugresic on Nationalism, Exile, and Lots of Skin

The Age of Skin, by Dubrakva Ugrešić I was so excited for this book, because I don't think there's much Croatian-language nonfiction translated into English, and by a woman no less. Dubravka Ugrešić was born and raised in the former Yugoslavia and is now Amsterdam-based. She'd previously been a writer and journalist in her native Croatia but was harassed and ostracized for her outspoken anti-war beliefs, ultimately forced to emigrate. She's a prize-winning author and essayist and this is her latest collection to come to English. These essays were written between 2014 and 2018, although most at the earlier end…

Hungary and Poland Create The Unbridgeable Gap of the Great Reset

There comes a point where negotiation becomes surrender. Those actively undermining you will always demand more than their right. Those behind the Great Reset have been creating no-win situations for voters for decades to this exact end. Over the summer Hungary's Viktor Orban and Poland's Mateusz Morawiecki led the opposition to the EU's budget and COVID-19 relief package standing firm that funds not be tied to any internal political decisions member EU states make. Both of these countries have incurred the wrath of German Chancellor Angela Merkel over things they do she doesn't like, invoking Article 7 against Poland over…

And the Evidence Shows . . .

There are two categories of blog postings of mine that I have not posted to very often. Law and politics. You can see them listed on the left-hand sidebar. :-) Although admittedly, I did post a piece on administrative law that gives you a peek into how executive agencies have the power to create legislation and how that power is exercised. See: Framers, Federalists, and the Reality of the Administrative State. And I did do a series on marriage and divorce.* There are a few other posts there as well. I've intentionally avoided these categories during the past four years…
