The Democratic Party Sucks

The Democratic Party is screwed for 2018 and 2020   The mainstream media and most left-leaning political pundits love to point out Donal Trump’s unfavourability ratings constantly. There’s one thing they forget when they do this: The Democratic party are worse off. Donald Trump’s favorability is 39.6% according to the Huffington Post after averaging all the polls together. Democrats? A measly 38.1% favourability. This isn’t all that surprising either when you consider the fact that the Democratic party has also gone 0 for 4 in the recent round of special elections. Four seats were left empty by senators who...

Vive la révolution Emmanuel Macron and the La République en Marche (LRM) party have won a historic victory in the French legislature elections. having won 350 of the 577 seats available, while the Socialist party lost 29 seats.

The Gupta family are one of the wealthiest families in South Africa, with a net worth just south of one billion U.S dollars. Although this is tiny compared to a few other families in South...

The American Educational System

The Crippling Effect of Teachers Unions The failure of the American educational system seems to have become an accepted fact of life in America. Inept, lazy and unaccountable teachers seem like a problem endemic to the American system. Why is this? I believe this is mainly due to the strong teachers’ unions which plague the educational system. Teachers unions have made it almost impossible to fire teachers from schools. This sounds great until you realise their “last in, first out” policy means good but young teachers are far more likely to be removed due to funding cuts than bad teachers...

Jacob Zuma

An analysis of Jacob Zuma, the President of South Africa   I spent six years of my youth growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa. During this time a man named Jacob Zuma won the presidency, he is the head of the ANC party, Nelson Mandela’s ex-party, he is one of the most inept, vile and corrupt people to have entered the Presidency of South Africa since the end of Apartheid, he is single-handedly destroying the legacy Mandela left behind, and in doing so, destroying South Africa. In late 2005 Zuma was charged with rape in the Johannesburg high court, he...
