Dozens who have lost loved ones after New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s controversial Covid-19 nursing home order gathered in Brooklyn to protest the politician, who recently wrote a book on his leadership during the pandemic. The protesters gathered in front of the Cobble Hill Health Center, a nursing facility, and demanded an apology from Cuomo for his highly controversial March 25 order forcing nursing homes to accept Covid-positive cases, a decision many critics feel was a large factor in the 6500 deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic. Holding signs with such messages as “Cuomo killed my parents” and “Cuomo writes […]
By the Editor’s of the New England Journal of Medicine Covid-19 has created a crisis throughout the world. This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy. The magnitude of this failure is astonishing. According to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering,1 the United States leads the world in Covid-19 cases and in deaths due to the disease, […]
In August a YouGov poll put the UK’s Labour Party neck and neck with the Tories on competence, as Jeremy Corbyn’s successor Keir Starmer has been successfully strategizing towards rebuilding a voter coalition for future success. The UK Labour Party has edged ahead of the Conservatives in an opinion poll for the first time since Boris Johnson became prime minister in July 2019. According to a survey by Opinium, published on 26 September, 42 per cent of those polled voiced their intention to vote for the party led by Sir Keir Starmer compared to 39 per cent ready to cast their […]

Let’s be clear. A title does not make you a leader. Look at Capitol Hill. Leadership begins in your home. You are the executive, manager, administrator, foot soldier, all wrapped up in one. No President of the United States is responsible for a booming economy. The people are. People make businesses, employ people, produce products and services, and in turn support communities. This ripple effectuates the nation. The President is the ambassador of the nation, and is the moral and ethical leader therein. The […]
If Michael Caputo, a top official at Health and Human Services, hadn’t melted down and spewed out on Facebook Live that his job description included suppressing “rotten scientists” in a “resistance unit” at the CDC, he would still be twisting the apolitical data coming out of the single most important source of health information in the world. Caputo also warned that Democrats were getting out of their sweatpants only long enough to plot an armed insurrection to defeat Trump by publicizing a running tab on death and destruction from COVID-19. At night, Caputo saw shadows on the wall. In short, he […]
Top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci danced around bombshell revelations in legendary journalist Bob Woodward’s upcoming book, claiming on Wednesday that he doesn’t “recall” saying that President Donald Trump’s leadership is “rudderless” and the president’s attention span is a “minus number.” In a series of interviews that were taped by Woodward, the president acknowledged in early February that the coronavirus was deadly and airborne, despite publicly downplaying the virus at the time. Over a month later, after belatedly declaring a national emergency, Trump admitted to Woodward that he “wanted to always play it down” and that he still likes “playing […]

New Delhi (Sputnik): India’s Congress party, which has been associated with the national freedom movement, is now in dire straits over leadership issues. Since 2014, when the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party swept general elections, the Congress has been reduced to an abysmal tally in the Parliament and also lost power in several major states. Nearly 23 senior Congress members and lawmakers have written to the party’s interim chief Sonia Gandhi, urging her to consider the complete overhaul of the party leadership. In the letter, the members of the party stated that the “uncertainty” over the leadership demoralises the cadre and has […]
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, with a lack of self-awareness seldom seen outside hereditary dictatorships, is writing a book on managing the Covid-19 outbreak – after leading the state to the US’ highest coronavirus death toll.

The book will include leadership advice and a look at Cuomo’s relationship with President Donald Trump. Its release was announced the day after Cuomo gave a speech at the Democratic National […]
Germany’s defense minister revealed on Wednesday that a unit of the Kommando Spezialkraefte (KSK), the country’s elite commando force, would be disbanded. The dissolution follows a report published in January revealing that hundreds of soldiers may embody far-right extremist ideologies. On Wednesday, Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer told the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper that the KSK, an anti-terrorism and hostage rescue unit with roughly 1,300 soldiers, had created “a wall of secrecy” around itself and that the force has a “toxic leadership culture” that “cannot continue to exist in its present form,” NPR reported. Kramp-Karrenbauer also confirmed that some of the 70 soldiers […]
Decentralized lending platform Cred has welcomed former National Security Agency computer scientist Bethany De Lude and Western Union executive Daniel Goldstein as chief information security officer (CISO) and chief technology officer (CTO) respectively, the firm announced Monday. Dan Schatt, Cred’s chief executive, told CoinDesk the crypto community stands to benefit a great deal from a financial infrastructure that supports the banking of tokens. That the new executives were willing to come in from the traditional financial sector is indicative of an overall maturing of the blockchain community, and a growing consensus that the technology is here to stay, he claimed. “You […]
Police Officers Guild President Michael Solan blasted Seattle’s leadership on Saturday for enabling the conditions that are making it unsafe for police officers to do their job in the city. Two people were shot, one fatally, at CHAZ/CHOP early Saturday morning. Police had difficulty getting to the victim to help him due to the extreme lawlessness allowed to take over the area by the mayor. “Early this morning, that violence was raw and real where one of our community members lost their life, and police are still not allowed into that area and were prevented to providing that police service to […]
