Amsterdam: Cuts down on cruise ships visiting

Amsterdam a very small city with its port in the heart of the city has been a pub for tourists for quite sometime up to almost a million and more tourists sailing in cruise ships would visit the capital city known for its creepy nights, night clubs and night life.

More than being an attraction to these places for tourists, the impact of cruise ships causing on the environment has forced now the city administration to cut down on cruise ships to up to 100 a month.

The effect it had on the environment after so many cruise ships visiting the port city is almost equal to CO2 emissions from 30,000 trucks thus causing severe damage to the environment.

This turns out that Amsterdam has taken up the impact of CO2 on the environment more seriously compared to the revenue it brought to the economy, being negligible compared to the safety of the environment if ignored could have invited more serious concerns very quickly.

The Taliban

This isn't the time to talk of any investments. First and foremost you have to show leadership to attract any investments. Not just saying we welcome anybody. This isn't foreign policy. That means subtly saying in the future we will allow anyone to use our country as a base to carry out any terrorist activity. This will create instability in the region from drugs, weapons and equipment. Can you introduce us to the team probing into the killing of Ayman al-Zawahiri? It's almost one year completed you still act like a group. Can you call for a referendum because you say that the people must want education for girls and women. Can you bring your people to vote whether they want education for girls and women? Just saying that people must decide on women and girls education, who are these people? Are they people in your group or the afghan population? You are open to have any agreement with anyone, but for this region we need openness for anyone in this region to tru...

The Endless Cycle of Misinformation and Deflection: Biden, Harris, and the 2024 Campaign

For four long years, a column was being written in the press, a persistent narrative that followed President Joe Biden through his term in office. Every time Biden faced tough questions or criticism, he would pause, take a deep breath, and yell back, branding the conversation as either "misinformation" or "disinformation." It became almost a hallmark of his response—deflecting any criticism by labeling it as part of some broader, nefarious campaign to distort the truth.  This strategy came full circle the day Biden signed his name to a critical decision: his reelection announcement for 2024. By deciding to run again, Biden’s reelection bid felt like the culmination of a column that had been continuously drafted, edited, and critiqued. His familiar refrain against “misinformation” became, in essence, the core message of his defense—any challenge to his policies or leadership was dismissed as an attack not based on facts but on falsehoods.
