The best surprise was the victory of Donald Trump in the prestigious elections. His campaigns focused on protecting American jobs which penetrated very well through the rustbelt states. And, the world is now looking forward to Trump for better American policies. It is also evident that the cabinet of the newly elected president will feature an in-depth protectionist flavor. Similarly, in the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte was selected to be the President after his promising campaign. He offered to abolish the drug dealers and other potential killers. As the president assumed power, he hung 6000 criminals to safeguard the nation and its people.

The rebellious territory of Syria saw the victory of Bashar al-Assad favored by Russian help. The Islamic State had lost its base both in Iraq and Syria. The troops of the government had recaptured the Mosul. But even then, the Islamic State’s violence continued. They killed civilians indiscriminately. They tortured the sympathizers and bombed hospitals too. The Islamic State terrorists conducted a fierce attack on the airport of Brussels and killed about 32 innocents. A gunman from the extremist’s troop assassinated about 49 people at a nightclub in Orlando. Similarly, a jihadist killed 86 people cruelly who were celebrating the Bastille Day.

In Jakarta, they killed four more people and in Berlin, they assassinated more than a dozen innocent lives at the Christmas market. On the other hand, in France, the law on bikini went on to create news. A majority of the seaside towns have banned the use of the swimsuit. However, the Italians were against the policy. The Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi resigned after voting against the reforms of the constitution. The year 2016 also saw the death of the revolutionary leader of Cuba, Fidel Castro at the age of 90. Natural disasters also took its spell in the form of Atlantic storm and earthquakes. Hope the new year is better and brighter.

The Bears Ears National Monument created by the President Barack Obama stirs up different debates. The supporters of the President consider the measure as an important step to conserving the lands. The monument erected in the southwest Utah protects 1.35 million acres of land. The place has a cultural significance for the native tribes who have been residing there for generations together. The Bears Ears Commission looks after the tribal nation’s views to protect their lands. The monument also conserves the enclosure and various artifacts that remain sacred to the tribal. On the other hand, the opponents consider this initiative as an overreach.

The questionable move that took place during the last month in the President’s office has generated different views. The rivals feel that the move is autocratic. Several Republicans are on the verge of fighting out the issue. Mike Lee, the Utah Senator, has tweeted to disengage the President’s move. He is tirelessly working for the same. As per the Antiquities Act of 1906, the president has the authority to erect national monuments. Obama also created the Gold Butte National Monument in northern Nevada that spans over 300,000 acres. As per the statistics, on including these two monuments erected by the President, the numbers rise to 29 totally.

The former Prime Minister Mr. Tony Blair has said that the center ground will come again in the labor party. Blair added that he is still in search of a political role that can help the party to become electable. Blair said that he is not sure whether there will be any role for him as he cannot ask for roles or position at the current situation. Blair said his political career is now an open question to himself.

He said that it would be too early to say that whether the center has got defeated and even if it is defeated, it will rise again. Blair cleared his views about Jeremy Corbyn’s election stating that the politics of UK in the 1960s will come back. He also said that it is a tragedy that Brexit happened and there is something wrong in it.

His comments have invited the anger of many new members who blamed his quest for letting down the working class voters and lead the UK into a war. Blair was against Jeremy Corbyn’s policies saying that they will not work. It has been nine years since Blair has withdrawn himself from politics after developing an organization which has got 200 people and had branches in more than 20 countries. Blair announced that he will now concentrate on non-profit organizations. However, in the UK he was criticized for his ways of earning money and slowly his reputation started to degrade.

Blair said to a magazine that problems which are in the party run deeper rather than a single person. He said that it is a problem between 2 different cultures which comes under one organization and as per history labor was formed to represent in the parliament and then to become a government of the country. As of now, he said he would think about re-entering politics as and when the right time comes.
