ANTHONY L. HALL takes aim at the global events of 2019 with a unique and refreshing perspective. Some of the topics in this volume include:Republicans and Democrats aping Sunnis and Shias"Even if Democrats impeach Trump in Congress or defeat him at the polls, his presidency has already sown seeds of division and dysfunction that could harvest political thorns for a thousand years."Social networks abolishing 'Likes'"They can't quit likes.

Because only delusions of grandeur on that scale explains him thinking he can play the NFL like this."White evangelical Christians supporting Trump"The hypocrisy inherent in them showing abject loyalty to this two-legged golden calf is almost too contemptible for words. Suffice it to know that a skunk has more regard for a garden party than Trump has for a house of worship."Hong Kongers protesting Chinese rule "These protests amount to nothing more than a self-hating, Stockholm Syndrome-like preference for the British over the Chinese. Hong Kongers don't want democracy so much as a return to British colonial rule."MTV trying to whitewash Michael Jackson's name from VMAs"Frankly, his pedophile exploits were such that MTV paying any homage to him is tantamount to Jello paying homage to Bill Cosby."Rich parents offering bribes to get their kids into elite colleges"The real indictment is that, despite all the resources at their disposal, these parents raised such dumb, lazy, and untalented kids."Failure of latest US-North Korea nuclear summit"While Trump flew off to take a cold shower back in America, Kim was smoking a cigarette and planning sightseeing tours around Vietnam. So who do you think is zooming who in their "brokeback" bromance...?"
