(Akiit.com) Hypocrisy is always in abundance with politicians in the D.C. swamp, yet Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) battle to ban e-cigarette takes hypocrisy to a new level. In the name of protecting children, he has targeted a vaping product called Elf Bar for a possible government ban.

(Akiit.com) (***) It’s a start. One day Latino superheroes will be everyday marvels. Not a rarity. This is the beginning. Blue Beetle first appeared in a comic book back in 1939, in a story about an archaeologist who found a magical blue scarab in Egypt that gave him superpowers. It would eventually become part of DC comics. Ninety years later the blue scarab is still formidable, and it chooses a... [Read more of this review]

(Akiit.com) The late Senator Dianne Feinstein was my Mayor. I’m a native San Franciscan who cut her political chops in my home city.

(Akiit.com) (**) If a horror film goes for the jugular it has to have fangs. Right? Taking a chapter from Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel Dracula and adapting it into a fright film is a good start. Great source, good premise, legendary story and characters. The right casting, astute direction, reams of dread, lots of thrills and plenty of astoundingly gory scenes are crucial. Yet, as this interpretation... [Read more of this review]

(Akiit.com) As a driver, you have a legal duty to exercise reasonable care and caution while operating your vehicle. This includes being vigilant for pedestrians and obeying traffic laws. But, no matter how careful you are as a driver, sometimes accidents just happen. While collisions are common, you can also find yourself hitting someone. In California, the legal implications of hitting a jaywalker... [Read more of this review]

(Akiit.com) In North Carolina, Camp Lejeune is a historic military base renowned for training marines. Its sprawling grounds have shaped the journey of innumerable servicemen, a testament to its significance. However, beneath its storied past and service, a haunting legacy emerges, i.e., water contamination’s enduring health impact on residents. A shadow cast by polluted water has left an indelible...

(Akiit.com) (***) “I don’t know what I just saw. But I liked it!” That’s what movie fans will say collectively when they stagger out of the theater after being assaulted with adrenalin-pumping action scenes for 2h 21m. It’s a formula that’s worked for 22 years, ever since The Fast and Furious premiered in 2001. Team up a crew of multicultural drivers and motorcyclists—aka street racers....

(Akiit.com) “There’s one issue that will define the contours of this century more dramatically than any other, and that is the urgent threat of a changing climate.” – Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005, the city’s black neighborhoods bore the brunt of the storm.

(Akiit.com) Government debt as a share of the U.S. economy is falling. This must mean the Biden administration and Congress are practicing fiscal responsibility, right? No, it doesn’t. The main driver behind the reduction is inflation — inflation that politicians in Washington created with their irresponsible spending and refusal to engage in austerity after the COVID-19 crisis.

(Akiit.com) Earth Day is Saturday! Hooray? “Saving humanity from the climate crisis,” says EarthDay.org, requires us to “push away from the dirty fossil fuel economy.” Sounds logical.

(Akiit.com) What was once a party that proclaimed its pride in patriotism, military discipline and the defense of national security against all enemies, foreign and domestic, is becoming an engine of insurrection and subversion in the service of hostile foreign powers.

(Akiit.com) Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina has announced the formation of an exploratory committee for his candidacy for president. You may have noticed that Scott is Black. We may ask, in this woke age of ours, the extent to which this matters in his candidacy.

(Akiit.com) Salespeople need to remember that building a business relationship requires creating a connection with the other person. Real conversations are never self-centered to start with. They can be turned around to something that concerns you, but not straight away unless one wants to cross the borderline of impoliteness.
