In the aftermath of the US House of Representatives Vote yesterday to condemn President Trump, the late night scene in the United States weighed in.  We hereby present a sampling as we also note this courtesy of the Columbia Journalism Review which our team released last night over our Twitter Property, OrdinaryFace s as we also pay tribute to the late Associate Justice of the United State Supreme Court, John Paul Stevens, who passed away at the age of 99 yesterday:  

We view today as a challenging day in the aftermath of the deliberations  in the aftermath of President Trump's tweets and the vote in the House of Representatives.   As  our team decided to headline this declaration from the crew of Apollo 11 as we also feature the latest from the Editor of The Bulwark that captures the challenges faced by the GOP in the aftermath of the challenges of the last few days exemplified by what we captured on our daily assessment over Twitter: We close out with this from the Editor of the Bulwark, JV Last that captures the challenge represented by the GOP in the aftermath of the Vote today and the stance taken by GOP Leaders: 1.

They’re silent not because they agree with Trump. Surely they know better. They’re silent because, knowing that he’s inc

 As a new week dawns, we have been assessing the state of our World. 82 people lost their lives in the Mediterranean on their way to Europe. The President of the United States went after four sitting members of Congress telling them to go back to their Countries--although three of them were born in the United States and one of them came to the United States at an early age. The US Border crisis continues to be a profound challenge. The Iranian President, Hassan Rouhani, came out asking for Iranians to work for free because he noted that Iran is in a state of War--and in our view, he forgot that it has been the Islamic Republic that has been the culprit. Our team will continue to assess it--as we have been on the prowl of the plight of the 14 who signed a declaration calling for Regime Change in Iran. Two of them have been detained and others have been subject to Harassment and Intimidation.  As we went to Press, the Tehran Stock Exchange--Iran's Main Stock Exchange--su

Our team pulled together a sampling of the discourse on the politics as the US Political campaign has begun and the profound challenges courtesy the Real News and the political campaigns: US Government Could Run out of Money, But That’s not the Real Story Bill Black demystifies the reality of debt, what really’s happening, and why the politics of debt is so convoluted Honduras Now Ruled By A “Criminal Gang” – With Western Government Support Honduran Congressman Ramón Soto Bonilla says it is now more dangerous in Honduras to be a land defender than a narco-trafficker Poll: Religion in Decline in Arab Countries, Anger at the U.S Growing James Zogby of the Arab American Institute discusses the results of a large survey conducted by the BBC in 11 Arab countries among 25,000 responders.

It has been quite a week in our World.   We decided to capture headlines on #ClimateEmergency, the 4th of July and the challenges in Europe and the United Kingdom:

It is the dawn of a new and yet busy week at the Daily Outsider.   The US Women's Soccer Team won the World Cup for the 4th Year in a Row.   We congratulate the team on its' momentous achievement. We chose the headlines from our assessment around the Grid because of what we believe-a sense of hope in line with our mission to help change the conversation about our World.    Greece, for instance, decided on a profound change as it the leftist government was defeated and a new Prime Minister is slated to be sworn in tomorrow.   This is as we have also been assessing the change of leadership in Europe which will have a Notation on it later on this week. Beyond Europe, there is the on-going challenges with Iran.  Iran's economy is teetring and our team released a special edition of Notations on it earlier.  In our view, the gamble by the Iranian authorities on Uranimum enrichment was captured brilliantly by a depicition by an Iranian Civics Organization: Our team is working on a
