Recep Tayyip Erdogan: The controversial leader and his impact on Türkiye
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has been the undisputed leader of Turkish politics for the past 20 years. Despite having survived a dark and bizarre coup, tampering with the Constitution and chaotic economic policy that has devastated the country and devalued the lira, the Turks continue to bet on Erdogan. Under his leadership, Turkey has gone from being a tolerant Islamic democracy and an example of moderation to becoming an uncomfortable partner for both the European Union and NATO. Some consider that we are before the prelude to a new autocracy at the gates of Europe, while others see this as Turkey's final break with the West.

Same president, same economic problems
Over the course of the past two decades, Recep Tayyip Erdogan's rise to power in Turkey has been accompanied by a striking devaluation of the country's currency, the lira. Shockingly, the lira has lost approximately 90% of its value against the US dollar during Erdogan's tenure. This drastic decline has had dire consequences, particularly in the form of rampant inflation, which has wreaked havoc on the Turkish economy.

President to Apply "Nutritional Facts Labels" to Foreign Countries
January 20th (Washington, D.C.) – As an emotionally drained and exhausted crowd looked on, the freshly installed President revealed the last of ten Executive Orders to kick off the new administration. People who had expected to attend a party celebrating the first independent leader of the free world since George Washington were shocked to find the Inauguration Ceremony cut short and themselves made witness to the President’s irreversible and world-shattering agenda, one that some are calling reckless and dangerous. But not even disarming America’s nuclear capabilities, pulling troops out of strategic locations around the world, or letting terrorists run free were as thoughtless and perilous as what happened with this final Executive Order.

America Has Always Been A Pretty Unrealistic Utopia
The United States of America is both a country and an ideal. The Declaration of Independence put forth the principle that we would be a country where "…all men are created equal" and that citizens would have certain "unalienable Rights [such as] Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."
