New York State has suffered one of the worst COVID outcomes in the country, with roughly 53,000 officially recorded deaths, thousands of businesses shuttered, and millions newly unemployed. But new reporting reveals that Governor Andrew Cuomo pocketed more than $5 million during this time of crisis.
Without a free press and free speech the people have no way to investigate and hold their leaders accountable. It is no wonder that princes and politicians dislike the First Amendment as it is one of the few things keeping them in check and putting people on a more equal playing field.
Many residents surveyed say they are scared to go to the downtown area after the last year's riots and chaos.

World War III In Novels
Like hurricanes and volcanoes, most wars are not predictable even months before the event. In this regard, national intelligence estimates are no more soothsaying than novels. But unlike estimates by bureaucrats, novels are stories about human nature that entertain and often enlighten or remind us about the complexity called human nature.

How Covid Put an End to Your Right to Due Process
Over a year ago, the covid panic shook the world. We were told it would only be “15 days to flatten the curve” as businesses were locked down, “nonessential” employees were forced out of work..., masks were mandated, and individuals were not allowed to gather in groups or attend religious services. In typical fashion, a government-mandated “temporary” usurpation of liberty turned into an indefinite infringement, as shown by the fact that we’re still under covid orders four hundred days later. Regardless of the length of time, the question remains that few have asked: What authority does the government have to lock us down and force us out of work?

An Anglican review on art and history, based in Rome.
By the end of the 19th century the classical marvels of Rome attracted tourists from all over the world, the numerous "English Colony" in Rome, based around the English Ghetto was soon joined by the mid-century by the American community which inspired by their original motherland came to Italy with a love for culture and a desire to build a new empire on the basis of Ancient Rome. The first Americans began to arrive at the turn of the 19th cntury and also settled in the Tridente - where they also had amenities and other services in their native language. The 19th century was also a time of cultural rediscovery and self-identification for the new American aristocracy, the oldest families of New England and New York realized that in order to affirm themselves, they had to follow the steps of the princely families of the Renaissance - they became great philanthropists, that is how families such as the Astors or Vandebilts became the new Medici by granting large donations to museums, churches and other social institutions, and by marrying into the continental nobility. Britain and Italy were the center of their attention. This was the Gilded Age, and Rome was a central destination. JP Morgan, the Astors, and all the great Americans of the time came to Rome, they had funded a large American church, St.Paul's within the Walls, established a massive American Academy and by marrying into the local aristocracy, they helped funding Rome's last princely palazzo: the Palazzo Brancaccio.
