Donald Trump And Maria Ressa: Strange Bedfellows

Donald Trump and Maria Ressa, two luminaries who have more in common than meets the eye, stand united in their shared experiences. 

Both have graced the cover of TIME as Person of the Year—Trump in 2016 and Ressa in 2018—each celebrated for their, let’s say, unique contributions to society. 

Controversy follows them like a loyal puppy, both at home and abroad, ensuring they remain fixtures in the public eye. Interestingly, both are convicted felons currently out on bail, adding a touch of criminal camaraderie to their résumés. 

Their vocal battles against “fake news” make them bedfellows in their war on misinformation, though their definitions of “fake” often clash. 

Given Ressa’s Nobel Peace Prize accolade, should we brace ourselves for Trump’s win this year? After all, why not level the playing field entirely? With love-hate relationships galore among supporters and critics alike, perhaps a Nobel nod is the next logical step in this tale of two titans.

Is Opposition To Divorce A Male Thing?

In a twist worthy of a prime-time soap opera, opponents of divorce law might take a cue from actress and TV host Anne Curtis. Curtis recently pointed out that all the senators against divorce—except for Cynthia Villar—are men. Coincidence? We think not. A recent survey reveals that men who win the lottery tend to use their windfall to support their families, while women are more likely to use their winnings to escape, well, marriage. So, is opposition to divorce just a male thing? Are women merely biding their time, waiting for the financial means to say, “Adieu, darling”? Perhaps it’s time for a follow-up survey to uncover the truth. Until then, one thing is clear: some senators may want to keep their eye on the lotto numbers—just in case their wives have a winning ticket and a secret plan.
