Is America on the Cusp of a Healthcare Revolution?
February 27th (Atlanta, GA) – Last night (February 26th), the President of the United States stood before a joint-session of Congress to deliver a rare first-year State of the Union Address. While those in attendance and the millions watching at home never learned if the condition of the country was “strong” or some other similar terminology, the President took the opportunity to lambast the Legislative and Judicial Branches for past perceived grievances.

However, this was a speech unlike any given since becoming formally known by that name in 1947—which coincidently was the first time the speech was broadcast on television. The last President to have a State of the Union during their first year in office was John F. Kennedy—although his successor Lyndon B. Johnson had one after Kennedy was assassinated and Gerald Ford also had one when Richard Nixon resigned. However, according to a Congressional Research Service report (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44770.pdf) on the history of the State of the Union:

ILSP (Individualist, Left-wing, Self-governing/libertarian, Populist): ILSP represents a political type characterized by a combination of individualistic and libertarian principles, a left-wing ideological stance, a belief in self-governance, and a populist orientation. Figures like Yuval Noah Harari, George Orwell, Oksana Zabuzhko, Courtney Love, Lou Reed, David Lynch, Mircea Cărtărescu, Michel Gondry, Charles Ives, Roland Orzabal, Tulsi Gabbard, Sylvester Yarychevsky, Georges Bataille, Sergei Dovlatov, Jim Carrey, Krzysztof Komeda, Sylvia Plath, and Diogenes of Sinope align with this type to varying degrees. They emphasize personal freedom, artistic expression, social justice, and a desire to challenge established power structures. They generally advocate for individual autonomy, grassroots participation, and championing the rights and concerns of the common people.

Can Peter Obi Make History?
The former Governor of Anambra State is known to be one of the first persons in the Nigerian system who has successfully used the court to reclaim his rightful mandate stolen by some "powerful" personalities in the society in the previous election which he partook in. In April 2022, he left the People's Democractic party for the Labour party where he contested in the primary election of the latter party and won as the party's presidential candidate. It was widely viewed by his opponents that he wouldn't make much difference in the election as he would barely get votes in the election as most of his loyalists are few young persons who are allegedly relating majorly in a room and on twitter; they are regarded as completely inconsequential in changing the narrative of the election.
