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 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

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...
