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. Yet after spending a good portion of the opening statement attacking these coequal parts of government, the President did take a significant amount of time to explain that there is usually more agreement than not, despite the rhetoric and the “media hype” of partisanship.

REVEALED: Putin’s Secret Bunker And Billion-Dollar Palace In Russia.
Vladimir Putin's billion-dollar Palace overlooking the Black Sea has its own casino and ice hockey rank and it's surrounded by a special no-fly zone. Underground tunnels lead to a secret bunker which indicates preparation for the worst-case scenario. He was considering the possibility of a chemical attack on his defence system and how can he protect himself from external threats from his people if they decide they don't want him around anymore. Insider decoded satellite images, renderings and photos of his hideout. To see how far Mr Putin will go to ensure his survival in the 190 000 square-foot mansion near the resort town of Gelenjik in southern Russia. That's one thousand miles away from his official residence the Grand Kremlin Palace in Moscow. Diagrams reveal that this Mansion has 11 bedrooms above ground and a high-security bunker below the main course constructed to have two different supplies of oxygen. There is a list of tunnels to bring additional provisions the drawing shows. The two tunnels are hidden in the hill under the Mansion, they are around 130 and 200 feet long cross-sectional sketches show 15-inch thick concrete walls that appear to be blast-proof tunnels. Moreover, there have multiple ventilation shafts in case of a chemical attack that could pollute the air and they're equipped with a freshwater supply, sewage lines and fire system. Everything Putin would need to survive for weeks at a time. Additionally, a lot of space to store cables, racks for conduits for power and fibre optics and the phone so that if the worst happens communications will continue to flow into the Palace. An Elevator Shaft connects the tunnels to the lower one, including a moving walkway leading to the Black Sea beach, allowing for a quick escape. These tunnels were built over 10 years ago demonstrating how long Putin has been obsessed over his safety. This is back when Putin was meeting with the U.S. presidents. We now know that in the back of his head, he was making preparations for existential conflict with the West.

President Attacks Rather than Addresses Congress in First State of the Union
February 26th (Washington, D.C.) – A few short weeks after making a request to do so, the President was able to appear before a joint-session of Congress to give a State of the Union address. 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:

President "Can't Understand" Government
February 5th (Washington, D.C.) – Who is in the President’s Cabinet? Amazingly, it is a question that has never been answered because the “Cabinet” is not an organization that was created by the Constitution or any law. The only relevant clause of the Constitution (Article 2 § Section 2 § Clause 1) says that the President may require the opinion of the “principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices....” President George Washington interpreted this to mean he could create a working committee that regularly advised him, and it has been a tradition maintained by every subsequent President since then.

ANTI-TYRANNY BROS AND SISTERS
Marcus glances at the sky and notices a dark cloud looming in the distance. The cloud rapidly changes shape and leaps and somersaults all over the crepuscular sky like a deranged butterfly or a manic-depressive, shape-shifting dragon.

Global Demonstrations Erupt in Support of Jailed Russian Critic Alexei Navalny on His Birthday
Thousands of people in over 100 cities worldwide rallied on Sunday to show their support for Alexei Navalny, a prominent Kremlin critic who remains imprisoned. This marked Navalny's third birthday celebration since his incarceration. The demonstrations, spanning from Tokyo to Sydney and Tel Aviv to Milan, aimed to express solidarity with Navalny and call for his release. While facing the possibility of an additional 30-year prison sentence, Navalny's supporters believe the charges against him are part of an attempt to silence Russia's most vocal opponent of President Vladimir Putin.
