As the year 2016 comes to a bloody end in different parts of the world of the world we in the west can only hope the same does not happen our citizens at home, and abroad. The most one can do is accept the fact that we live, and have always lived in a dangerous world. We have fought two major wars in the last century in hope of achieving a so-called world peace. That peace was held in place by a string of brutal dictators who took advantage of the chaos that existed after both of those wars came to an end
The instability of the last twenty-four hours is beginning to seem normal in the holiday season. The Muslim people in the middle east are starting to suffer greatly because of a loss of stability caused by those who were removed from power with the help from the western powers. The United States will be under a lot of pressure from the rest of the world to act like a world power that it supposed to be.
Donald Trump will be sworn in as our forty-fifth president. He will have a lot of major decisions once he  occupies the oval office. from now on he will be the most watched person earth. He will be the face of the new normal. That is something we should all pay attention to going forward.
