"IMPEACHMENT, BREXIT, AND MORE"
The presidency and the impeachment inquiry
White House chief of staff Mark Mulvaney admitted that the Trump administration withheld 400 million dollars in military aid to Ukraine to pressure Ukraine to look into his political rivals. Mulvaney later denied saying that. The 2020 G7 summit will be held in Trump National in Doral Florida. Critics say that this is a conflict of interest because it benefits the president financially.
Brexit
The United Kingdom and the European Union strike a deal on Brexit, but it may not be approved by the parliament. Most parliament members said they won't vote for it because the issue at the Irish border still remain an issue.

America, Syria and the Kurds
The president of the United States of America withdrew US troops out of northern Syria. This decision would leave the Kurds, a group of fighters trained and backed by the United States government, defenseless. This decision is seen as a betrayal of a close ally. The Kurds were instrumental in fighting against ISIS. This decision could allow the escape of captured ISIS members.

"redundancy"
It’s the adrenaline of the moment
our heartbeats like bass drums in the backseat
you say you like listening to the same songs; you keep a record of the same broken record
you speak and I listen—I speak and you don’t.
at the risk of sounding redundant--I repeat myself I repeat myself I repeat myself
to shut me up—you shut me out.
it’s the adrenaline of the motion.
our heartbeats like bass drums in the backseat

to shut me up—you shut me out.
it’s the adrenaline of the motion.
Today marks 6 years since I was reunited with my family in the kingdom. It’s my 23rd birthday and I’m celebrating with my husband Eugene. If I never met him, I’m sure I would still be locked up in that tower with that I once called “mother".
“Okay make a wish,” Eugene ushered waiting for me to blow out my candles. I closed my eyes taking a long sigh to think about my wish for.
“What was your wish?” Eugene asked.
I laughed at him as he grabbed the knife to cut the cake “You're not supposed to ask someone what they wished for, I heard its bad luck,” I told him as I reached for my slice of cake.
“Ugh Rapunzel you believe anything,” said Eugene.
As the night came to a close, I looked out the window thinking about my wish. I sighed in sadness looking at Eugene.“Eugene, I wished to live in the city. I wished to just be… normal! I wished for the chance to do what normal 23r old’s do”, I whispered longingly hoping maybe he’d hear me in hopes of my wish coming true.
