The US recorded more stops along the Mexico border in Fiscal 2022 than in any year in the 20-year history of the Department of Homeland Security, with three months still to go, beating out the 1.7 million arrests record made in 2021. Worsening economic conditions post-pandemic, violence, political instability and climate-related displacement have contributed to the high number of individuals migrating, along with the promise of jobs in the USA. Border patrol, federal agencies and the border towns, all bear the burden of this influx of migrants at the southern border. Welcome to ‘MIGRANT SURGE’

When Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his invasion of Ukraine on February 24, he envisaged a quick seizure of Kyiv and change of government. But it wasn’t to be. The war is still raging, and no one knows when or how it will end. While some observers have urged an early ceasefire, others have emphasized the importance of punishing Russian aggression. Ultimately, though, the outcome will be determined by facts on the ground as the battle has moved from Kyiv’s northern suburbs to the eastern plains of the Donbas. Welcome to ‘UKRAINE WAR: DAY 139’

March 17, 2020, Montecito, California, U.S: Santa Barbara County Residents enjoy an alternative way to self-isolate during the Corona Virus/Covid-19 Pandemic: in nature on Butterfly Beach, across from the uber luxurious Four Seasons Biltmore Hotel in Montecito. Individuals and couples strolling, jogging, meditating and soaking up the sun have no problem maintaining the recommended 6 feet from each other, and only a couple dozen people can be seen at one time spread out widely in any given area: the total opposite from the Spring Break masses flooding Floridaü•s Clearwater and Daytona beaches.
