The Real State of the Union
With the onslaught of global warming striking destruction, I fear the United States faces greater challenges with each passing month. The severity of weather patterns all around the globe has only intensified the urgency that humanity is facing at the most crucial point in our history. The forces of denial have already hastened us to the point of no return. With the clock ticking and time running out, it is essential that cooler heads prevail. Yet, those climate change deniers cling to their convictions; that is all well and good. But, as the wrath of nature rocks a splintered nation, millions are continually thrown into an inferno of hopelessness and despair.

Christians in Pakistan Need to Change the Narrative
Christianity has three hundred years life in the sub continent of India, which is now divided into five countries. Pakistan is one of those countries which came into being in the year 1947. I know there are people who would remind me of St. Thomas who visited this area, and these people would prove that Christianity exists in this area for two thousand years.

Reason First: Should the Governor of Alabama Sign Off on a Bill to Make Chemical Castration Legal?
For the monsters who feel that they can terrorize young children, chemical castration seems to be a fitting punishment for their vicious actions. It seems also that the state of Alabama could do one thing right, at least. By pushing forward a bill for the governor to sign into law the treatment to lower hormones and testosterone thus inhibiting sex drive, this would prove to be justice.

Cuba's Economy Is Gradually Getting into the Picture
Cuba has an unsolved problem with Fidel Castro on the nationalization of American real estate, but she recently agreed to hold a referendum to turn it into an economy conducive to investment. Unfortunately, for the northern Caribbean country, they are not ranked in the global ease of doing business. This, of course, means that investors will not be interested in the land for business. With only 11,490,125 people, one would've thought that it will find it cost effective. Unfortunately, this cannot be said about the republic. Many obstacles in Cuba are slowing economic progress.
