Hello dear Blog readers and welcome back! It has been a while and we are happy that you are showing interest in our colorful, versatile publication again.😀 Not often do we get political on here. It is ironic and counter-productive, that potentially valuable opinions and facts that could cause change, are not being shared or being held back by someone because they might question the impact of their views. Or they simply doubt if their input could matter.. However, now is the time to speak up regardless!
Because on the other hand, incompetent, greedy and corrupt 'politicians' - let me see that CV - what (besides connections) qualifies you to be here in the first place - elevated to the top by a rigged system, are so sure of themselves, that they do not only address their own nation, but also feel the need to hold a live press conference every day, for an extended period of time, to address the whole world and spread false information without shame. They have no self-doubt. They have no censor. There is no fact-checking. They just go for it! :D
Reptilian brain alert
This is one of the reasons why, we need to get political on here today. We have had a very confident man run Germany once. It did not turn out well. I think it is no secret, that we are big fans of the United States, the land of possibilities and we are currently looking over with great concern. Concern for the American people, concern for democracy. We feel like, we are in Europe and there is only so much we can do from here, now that the US election is coming up very soon. But we can sure write a blog post!
From the international health crisis that is affecting us all, to the misinformation that is being spread via social media via millions of $$$ in paid ads to influence voters once again, to the protests on the streets about racial inequality that has been going on for decades and a leadership that is now sending out brutal forces to fight and silence its countries own people when they want to speak up for change. And this is only the beginning?! As one late night host put it, this is the president presenting himself from his 'good side' to be re-elected.
Today's events, have nothing to do with the rules of democracy this country was founded on. A country built by immigrants! Now you might ask yourself why do I, a German citizen, need to write an article/opinion piece about that.. Look, the First Lady is from Slovenia and she is frequently addressing the whole American nation. If it would not be for Austria, Slovenia would be our direct neighbor! So I am not too shy to address the nation as well! :D
'Dark Money' a presentation by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
Fun fact: Melania Trump received the 'Einstein Visa' for special abilities.
Based on the reliable source that is Wikipedia, she resided in the U.S. briefly on a visitor's visa and then - somehow - obtained an H-1B work visa. 'Who is eligible for H-1B visa? One of the basic requirements for H1B is education. To qualify for the H-1B visa category, the prospective H-1B employee must hold a U.S. bachelor's or higher degree or the equivalent. The person must hold a U.S. equivalent 4 years' bachelor's or higher degree from an accredited college or university.'
We have checked the education section of Melania Trump's Wikipedia page and there is literally almost nothing there. 1 year of studying Architecture in Ljubljana before dropping out. Not sure if there is a certificate for posing nude. If so, she may have obtained that but it is not an equivalent to a BA or Masters degree in no book, in no country. And this is not bullying, this is basic fact checking, a common practice in good journalism you won't find on Fox News or 'Paid for by Trump - News' as we'd like to nickname that channel. Also, this visa information is freely available for anybody who cares to check. No one really does.
In 2000 Melania Trump petitioned for the right to permanent residency under the EB-1 program, a program designed for people with "extraordinary abilities" which got approved. So what exactly are these special abilities you may ask. Tolerating adultery? Allegedly silently condoning the criminal activities you are witnessing around you on a daily basis? We may never know.
Can you qualify with such outstanding special abilities, to not only live in the White House, but also address the nation and take international trips on American tax payer money? We are not sure about that. We just know our fellow German, Albert Einstein, who also emigrated to the United States, would have had a few questions about that. And whatever the case may be, we women need to stick together and having this husband, is a punishment in itself that nobody deserves.
We get about 9200 visitors a month, with Germany taking the 3rd place and US readers taking the 2nd spot only after Hong Kong. Nobody knows exactly why this Blog is so appealing to the great people of Hong Kong but we appreciate you! Please keep in mind that this is an opinion piece. You are free to form your own opinion. When powerful, influential and wealthy public figures we have counted on to take action in a positive way, stay silent because they fear for their career, it is even more important for even an unknown blogger on a budget, to take a stand. Thank you for your attention. Danke! Believe it or not, we care about America.
