Donald Trump Tumultuous Exit from White House Marred with Controversy

Donald Trump’s presidency was characterized with lots of drama as he sought to stamp his electoral pledge of “America First” and “Making America Great Again.” As his term comes to a tumultuous halt, Trump will be remembered as the first president in a century and the fourth in American history to snub his successor’s inauguration event.
Just as his presidency was extraordinary, his handing over of power has been equally controversial as he failed to ensure smooth transition of power. The failure to acknowledge Biden’s victory was evident when he denied him access to White House ahead of his inauguration.
He also made history as the first US President to be impeached twice. The congress impeached Trump on January 2021 due to incitement to insurrection, where he allegedly ordered his supporters to storm the US capitol and interrupt with the congress session that had been convened to certify the win of Joe Biden.
The outgoing US President would go down the annals of world history as a person who was extraordinarily outspoken, with nothing to fear about as he sought to ‘protect the interests of Americans.’ He consistently declined to accept defeat, posting his persistent complains on Twitter.
Giant social media networks had to ban him from their platform, citing his posts as an infringement to their policies. The never-say-die trump would later blame big tech companies, threatening to launch his own social media platform.
During his tenure as president, Trump was in constant loggerheads with the media, terming their reports as ‘fake news.’
The incoming US President Joe Biden has promised to reverse some of the policies that were implemented by Trump. These among others include: the reverse on Paris Climate Deal, reverse travel ban to some Muslim Countries and to return US to the World Health Organization (WHO).
The Trump family has broken the tradition of presidential transition. The First Lady Melanie Trump broke the tradition of showing her successor around the White House; instead she chose to issue an emotive speech acknowledging her stint as the First Lady of The United States of America.
Additionally, Biden has vowed to stem his fight against coronavirus. Covid-19 pandemic has been more prevalent in the US than any other country in the world, and has recorded the highest number of fatalities. Statistically, US deaths account to 20 percent of the total number of people who have died of Covid-19 globally.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina.  Blindsigh...

How Human Brain will replace Smartphones in communication

Elon Musk envisiges a future where smartphones are obsolete and communication happens directly through the brain.  According to Musk, Neuralink the brain-computer interface that his company is developing, could eventually replace phones entirely. Imagine navigating the internet, sending and receiving text messages, or even making calls, all with just your thoughts. This sounds like fictional science.

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
