  • Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the authoritarian incumbent president, is ahead of his rival Kemal Kilicdaroglu after the first round of voting in Turkey’s presidential election. Neither candidate reached the 50% threshold required to avoid a second round, but Mr Erdogan secured 49.5% of votes while Mr Kilicdaroglu, who represents an alliance of opposition parties, received 44.9%. The election will now go to a run-off on May 28th. Mr Erdogan outperformed opinion polls, which had given Mr Kilicdaroglu a significant lead in the final days of the hard-fought campaign.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 848 & BENKYO RADIO 848. MOOC (Massively Online Open Courses) have been highly popular in the past couple of years. I’ve completed a couple. There are extremely educative. One of the future courses I plan on taking is called GIS, which refers to Geographic information systems. For example, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, this agency monitors everything from space, and logs everything. This is extremely useful, when dealing with governments who perform Human Rights Violations, and war crimes, such as Russia, or Israel.

The Nakba 75th years anniversary is here, and despite Israel’s attempt to erase history, here is a lot of information from The IMEU. Why is this important? Because Palestinians live under oppression, and if Israel truly does not control the Planet, they will let Palestinians speak.

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 841 & BENKYO RADIO 841. There is a new Netflix series from The Obamas, regarding “Working: What We Do All Day.” This should be an incredible look into the lives of individuals from various sectors of multiple industries. You will hear from people who work behind a computer desk, to those who work minimum wage desperately waiting for the wage to increase, as mentioned multiple times by Senator Bernie Sanders. Anyway, I love Obama (Luther!), and I am sick and tired of demanding on his help. The Former President is retired, and here he is again, trying his damnest to save us all due to a very delicate political situation, due to the fact that we have yet to put Donald Trump behind jail, and President Biden is currently facing an outlook where Vice President Kamala Harris may beat him in the polls for being the best candidate in 2024. Anyway, it’s going to be a great series, and it will be released next week.
