Powerless President: Why Donald Trump will be remembered by Americans for ages

Hate him or love him, but outgoing US president Donald Trump will go down the annals of the world history as a leader who was impeached twice during his stint as the head of a super power. He will also be remembered as a president who used Twitter as his major medium of communication.

The president has faced many woes during his twilight days in office.

During the second impeachment, 232 lawmakers voted in support of his impeachment. 10 Republicans were among those who voted to impeach Trump, making the impeachment process as the most bipartisan one in the recent times. Donald Trump made history as the US President to be impeached twice. 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi led the congress as the House debated on the impeachment charges. The president was charged with inciting insurrection that led to Capitol assault. The attack led to the postponement of the certification of Biden’s win by the US congress. Earlier on after the attack, Mr Trump acknowledged bearing blame for the violence as quoted by Fox News during a conversation with Republican Minority leader in the House Kevin McCarthy.

Trump was banned from giant social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, due to his persistent breach of online policies. He constantly used Twitter to hit at his rival, Joe Biden, accusing Democrats of orchestrating election fraud.

His ban on social media triggered him to accuse twitter for the alleged conspiracy with his detractors to silence him. He, however, hinted about developing his own social media. Most of Trump’s supporters have found relief on gab.com, a site that supports free speech.

How Human Noise Kills Marine Species, as revealed by Scientists

Scientists have warned that the discord of noise made by humans is harming marine species .  A comprehensive assessment revealed that large noise from human activities was as harmful as pollution, overfishing and climate change .  The study that was conducted by the Journal Science exposed how marine animals can hear from far distances than they can see or smell. According to a report published in the Guardian, most of the marine life uses sound to catch prey as well as attracting a mating partner.  Prof Carlos Duarte of King Abdullah University in Saudi Arabia argued that: “Marine animal can only sea up to around 10 meters, smell up to around a hundred meters, but they can hear across the entire ocean basins.” The research concluded that sound “is very important in the marine ecosystems, and noise is pervasive, affecting animals at all levels .” The increasing cacophony in the marine habitat is interfering with how marine animals respond to various survival...

Carbon dioxide to Make Jet Fuel, Study Reveals

Photo Source: twitter.com Aircrafts release a lot of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which contributes to climate change. A research that was conducted by Science News and reported on December, 22 2020 stated that there was a new iron-based catalyst that has been invented to convert carbon dioxide into jet fuel. It is only a matter of time that carbon dioxide pumped to the atmosphere by planes could be sucked and used to power the same. The air travel’s footprint in carbon emissions could be tremendously curtailed, if the carbon dioxide that is released is recycled to generate fuel. As per Science News reports, Air transport contributes to about 12 percent of the entire transportation carbon-related emissions. Unlike cars, aircrafts cannot carry bigger batteries which can be run on electricity generated from wind or solar panels. The current breakthrough in the conversion of carbon dioxide to fuel involves cheap ingredients such as iron and transformed through a single s...

Why Mt Kenya Leaders are wary about Change of Guard

As 2022 succession battle gains momentum in Kenya, leaders drawn from Mt Kenya region have become more concerned of their political future and survival. Mt Kenya region is predominantly occupied by the agikuyu, ameru and aembu communities. The region has produced three out of the four presidents. It boosts about the tyranny of numbers, thus making the region a battle ground for leaders from other region seeking to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta.  Central alone produced Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta as presidents. The only other Kenyan president drawn out of the region was Daniel Arap Moi. In the recent past, the region has gone against the tide of State operatives as a sign of revolt over what they term as negligence from the government, despite electing one of their own to the much coveted seat.  Deputy President William Ruto has taken advantage of the brewing rebellion through making serious political forays in Central and its vicinity. ODM leader Rail...
