Watching the developments in the US political scene from the outside feels different. You are not under any kind of pressure to take sides. This gives you an eagle eye view of the entire event.
I really love the Caribbean because of the way it makes you feel younger. The weather is immaculate and I love the feeling of the beach sand between my toes. I have grown fond of the political scene for a while, especially with the coming into power of President Donald Trump. I could not hold back anymore so I decided to open my personal blog where I would comment on some of these issues.
I thought by now I would have retired from active social commentary and advocacy but the love of my home country plagues me even in a foreign land. I do not want to think of the coming of President Trump into office as America’s greatest mistake – not yet – but I will be watching closely to see how events unfold.
I also look at other issues including the army, the economy, the education system, healthcare and foreign affairs. My aim for this is to bring you an unbiased view of some of the burning issues in the different sectors of the United States.

There is no act of valor greater than dying on the battlefield for your country. The US army published photographs captured by Specialist Hilda Clayton, 22, a combat photographer, just before she and four others lost their lives to the accidental blast. Other victims of the blast were an Afghan military photographer she was training…
President Donald Trump, in his short stay in office, has made a number of decisions that have left many astonished. In July this year, Trump sent out a series of tweets that announced transgender people will no longer be allowed to serve openly in the military. The pronouncement sent a wave of shock and sadness…
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival (DACA) program was instituted under President Obama’s administration. Now, President Trump has announced its end. DACA was a program that allowed children who entered the United States illegally to remain in the country. The business community and various other people have been reacting to the rollback of the program…
It is not always easy to tell the end from the beginning. I believe the struggle to make America great again is a collective battle – one which cannot be achieved by a single man. Leaders need the support of their followers to succeed but it is crucial that we point them in the right direction, and that they listen to us, the people.
