How the young prince seized power in Saudi Arabia?
Hear what an older relative has to say: He is forced to relinquish his power and cede the title of crown prince to his younger relative, a man almost half his age. This is Mohammed bin Salman. In the West we just call him MBS. And from that moment in June, he consolidated power so quickly and so thoroughly that in Saudi Arabia he is known only as the crown prince, MBS becomes king.

Why Red means Republican and Blue means Democrat in US?
Americans think of red and blue as deeply associated with the Republican and Democratic parties, but that's only been the case since the election of 2000. That's what the election night results looked like on American television. - Kennedy's victory, sir, let me tell you this. If they ever teach this machine to talk, you and I won't work. The widespread use of color television in the late 1960s and 1970s changed everything. But it would take several more decades before the media would adapt to the current color scheme - which rooms are the hardest to change from blue to red? Which ones are easy? -President Obama won all those blue states. -He must turn the voting statuses blue. To understand where this red state, blue state business came from, let's go back to when network television first used color charts to announce election results.

Two Birds, One Stone
Before I begin this article, I must emphasize a few things. One, this is not a defense, nor condemnation of the actions these sailors have taken. Two, I in no way have any knowledge of their cases beyond what is publicly available. Three, this article is not intended to be your sole source of information on this case. It is but a start for more critical thinking about these cases, and others like it.

Political Discussion?
Five or ten years ago I didn't mind talking about government or politics with other people. I used to write articles about how as an American it was our duty to vote. I would send my vote through the mail when I knew enough to do so. Then I became a Felon in 2018 and although I can go through the red-tape process of re-instating my voting privilege, I haven't done so since I was released from jail five years ago. My opinion on voting changed. I'm just not sure that I trust the voting system. It's not because Biden and Trump say whatever they say. It's because logically thinking, I see too many ways for the current voting system to make mistakes. That's not democracy then. That's just a flawed veil to make it seem like the people's opinions matter, when in reality, there is no way to know for certain what the masses really want.
