The Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has charged the Ghanaian populace not to play ‘chaskele’ with the future of the country by voting into power opposition, National Democratic Congress (NDC). According to him, the opposition NDC has nothing to offer Ghanaians adding voting Mahama into power will be the worse decision ever. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught Speaking at the Nation Building Update in Accra on Thursday, Dr. Bawumia said “He is the same John Mahama. He has not changed. Fellow Ghanaians, we cannot afford to play “Chaskele” with the future of this country. On December 7, remember what we have achieved together, and what, we can achieve together over the next four years, and vote to retain Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President, and for NPP MPs, all of whom are Number 1 on the ballot, so we can deliver once again on our mandate.” Stressing on a call to action, Vice President Bawumia explained that President Akufo-Addo who sought the mandate of Ghanaians in 2016, created a prosperous society with economic opportunity for the populace. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo Dr. Bawumia said “We are on track, having significantly delivered on our mandate. Many have asked: how could an economy that could not pay teacher and nursing training allowances suddenly deliver lower taxes, restore teacher and nursing training allowances, create jobs, implement Free Senior High School education, NABCO, Planting For Food and Jobs, One Village One Dam, One Constituency One Ambulance, reduce electricity tariffs, formalize the economy, industrialize the economy through “One District, One Factory”, and reduce the cost of doing business and restore macroeconomic stability.” “The question had been asked because it seemed an impossible task by the end of 2016, but we were very confident that, with good economic management and by the grace of God, we could make what seemed impossible possible. And we did; by renewing our mandate and giving us four more years, you will be ensuring that all the hard work over the last four years does not go to waste. This is a real, significant risk. We have been here before” he added.

Dr. Bawumia appealed to Ghanaians to retain President Akufo-Addo and the NPP in the upcoming elections.

Coronavirus infections are skyrocketing. Unemployment is rising. Food lines are getting longer. And President Donald Trump is tweeting. Happy Thanksgiving. This year's holiday season is bringing Americans together, literally, despite the best advice and increasingly urgent pleas of experts, who worry that family gatherings will seed a surge-upon-a-surge of Covid-19 cases. The solidarity that President-elect Joe Biden called for in a speech on Wednesday feels like a distant dream compared to the state of affairs in Washington, where Trump digs deeper into his bunker. The President is at once denying his election defeat and imploring loyalists to fight it. And the federal government and Congress are effectively AWOL, leaving millions of Americans to fend for themselves in the midst of a medical and economic catastrophe. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught In this weird interregnum between Biden's victory and Trump's departure, the lame-duck President and the incoming one have taken remarkably, if unsurprisingly, different paths. Trump is wrapped around the axle of his delusional bid to claw back a presidency that is receding from his grasp with each passing day. He lurches between grievance and pipe dreams, with no thought for the destruction in his path. Biden, operating in the world as it exists, has been scrupulously building a government-in-waiting. And in the two days since a Trump-appointee allowed the formal transition to begin, Biden's team has begun to examine the rusted nuts and bolts of the beleaguered institutions he will inherit. Biden's reality and Trump's fantasies collided on Thanksgiving eve. First came news that weekly jobless claims had climbed to 778,000 -- more than three times their pre-pandemic average. Trump, meanwhile, only called off plans to attend a charlatan circus billed as a voter fraud "hearing" by Pennsylvania Republicans in Gettysburg after his attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was exposed -- again -- to someone who tested positive for the coronavirus. Giuliani turned up anyway and Trump called in, his ravings audible via a speakerphone pressed up to a microphone. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo The President attacked the courts, which have almost unanimously dismissed his outlandish claims, Democrats, with still more plainly absurd lies, and called -- on whom, it was hard to say -- to overturn the election results. A few hours later, he issued a pardon to loyalist Michael Flynn, his briefly tenured national security adviser who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about conversations with Russia's then-ambassador. Afterward, Trump invited the Pennsylvania Republicans to the White House for a West Wing meeting, two sources told CNN. It is a reprise of a gambit the President tried with two leading Michigan GOP state lawmakers, who visited Washington last week, for a debriefing the President hoped would yield more fuel for his baseless claims of election fraud. But he received none and the Republicans quickly released a statement afterward affirming the truth -- that they had "not yet been made aware of any information that would change the outcome of the election in Michigan." Galaxies away Biden urges Americans to recommit to fighting pandemic in Thanksgiving address In Delaware, about 120 miles and several psychic galaxies away from the Gettysburg mess, Biden issued a sober call for caution and resolve in the face of spiraling crises. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos "This year, our turkey will be smaller and the clatter of cooking a little quieter. There will be no family walks in the cold or playful bickering amongst the grandkids. Like millions of Americans, we are temporarily letting go of the traditions we can't do safely," Biden wrote with his wife, Jill, in a CNN op-ed. As he did during the campaign, Biden channeled his own grief -- at the loss of his first wife and infant daughter in 1972, and his son's death from brain cancer a little more than five years ago -- in a bid to soothe mourning Americans. "This year, our turkey will be smaller and the clatter of cooking a little quieter. There will be no family walks in the cold or playful bickering amongst the grandkids. Like millions of Americans, we are temporarily letting go of the traditions we can't do safely," Biden wrote with his wife, Jill, in a CNN op-ed. Earlier in the day, future first lady Jill Biden was spotted dropping off bags of goods at a food bank in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where the Bidens are spending the holiday. The small gesture underscored the vast challenges facing so many, their lives financially devastated by the pandemic, who have turned to increasingly strained charitable organizations to temporarily satisfy basic needs. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo And Vice President-elect Kamala Harris tweeted out a Time article chronicling the crisis, stating: "Food banks across our nation are struggling to keep up with the demand due to COVID-19. Know that when @JoeBiden and I are in the White House, we'll fight food insecurity and address this crisis." "No one should go hungry in America," she added. A Washington Post survey of Census Bureau data from late October and early November found that food insecurity growing at a terrifying pace. One in 8 Americans said they had gone without enough to eat during the previous week, a figure that climbed to 1 in 6 in homes with children. Kellie O'Connell, the CEO of Lakeview Pantry in Chicago, described the pained scenes as hard-hit families come for help, many for the first time. Describing a family of four who had exhausted their savings, O'Connell spoke to CNN's Brooke Baldwin about the feelings of shame that often accompany having to ask for help. "They came to us to be able to put food on their table this Thanksgiving," she said. "One of the parents stayed in the car because they were a little bit embarrassed about how they were getting food. And, so that's really tough." READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos The growing lines outside food banks have become a bitter hallmark of this wretched season. Congress still stalled on relief package Fate of the stimulus looks bleak as lawmakers turn attention to spending deadline On the horizon: more pain. An estimated 12 million people will lose the expanded unemployment benefits provided by a federal relief package passed back in March. Prospects for a second round of federal stimulus in the near future seem bleak. There is a government funding deadline a few weeks away, which could provide an opportunity for lawmakers to budget some new aid. But a Democratic-backed House stimulus first passed in May, then updated at the beginning of October, is languishing. Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refused to take it up and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has so far refused to consider smaller, piecemeal legislation. The stalemate has left desperate American workers increasingly adrift and tossed entire industries to the brink. The absence of a central, organizing figure in the White House has also begun to set off concerns about the processes in place for distributing coronavirus vaccines. In a mirror of the chaos this spring, when local leaders were left to bid against each other for ventilators and personal protective equipment, Illinois' top state health officer said the federal government had already told her it couldn't fulfill an initial request of 400,000 doses. "We are still waiting to see answers, and understand maybe why that is, but it seems that the initial allotment we thought would be ready to go out -- that number has decreased," Dr. Ngozi Ezike told CNN's Nia-Malika Henderson. "So as a result, all the states are going to get a smaller amount." Fighting the surge Tired of being sad.' The financial stress from Covid is taking an emotional toll With Washington tied up in knots and the coronavirus spreading at record rates, one of the country's most prominent health care providers, the Mayo Clinic, announced on it was bringing in staff from out of state and asking retirees to return to work fighting the virus surge in Minnesota. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture As of 10 p.m. Wednesday, Johns Hopkins University had reported 178,752 new cases nationwide and 2,207 deaths. That followed the more than 2,100 Covid-19-related deaths on Tuesday, then the highest single-day number since May. Public health experts worry that the millions traveling on Thursday to spend time with family -- indoors and without protection -- will trigger another wave of infections. "It's potentially the mother of all superspreader events," Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a former White House medical team adviser, told CNN this week. In the shadow of those daunting statistics and dire warnings, the White House issued a proclamation from the President touting the "service and sacrifice" of "first responders, medical professionals, essential workers, neighbors and countless other patriots." He then proceeded to promote behavior that would further endanger them all. "I encourage all Americans to gather," Trump said, "in homes and places of worship, to offer a prayer of thanks to God for our many blessings." Credit: CNN

President Akufo-Addo has expressed outrage at what he calls a campaign of lies and propaganda being waged by the flagbearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama. According to the president, the former president is struggling to convince the Ghanaian electorate with his campaign message hence he has resorted to untruths. The president made these comments at a rally at East Legon in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency to wrap up his two-day tour of the Greater Accra Region. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught "Mahama's campaign has fallen in the water.

"You cannot go to the presidency of Ghana with lies and fabrications. The Ghanaian people will not allow that to happen,". President Akufo-Addo said. He had recently criticized Mr. Mahama for his assertion that the Mahama administration started the Free SHS policy.

"We started the programme and the NPP came and continued it. Unfortunately the implementation has been very poor, and so it ended us in the double-track". But president Akufo-Addo maintains that the NDC presidential candidate's assertion is lies and "borne out of one thing, and that is his Campaign is failing to catch up with the electorate".

Wife of late ex-President Jerry John Rawlings and former First Lady of the Republic, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings, has taken a swipe at the opposition NDC, accusing them of “shedding crocodile tears” over the death of her husband and seeking to profit from this predicament. Since the death of the former President, the NDC and its elements have sought to cry the most, suggesting that they loved him more than any other, when in fact, and indeed, their conduct towards him before his passing inarguably proved otherwise. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, November 23, 2020, through the NDP, which is the party she founded after she and her husband were treated as outcasts by the NDC, the former First Lady of the Republic, said, the NDC, having vilified their founder and called him all manner of names, are now seeking desperately and opportunistically to profit from his death. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught It would be recalled that former President Rawlings, had himself, on a number of occasions, accused the NDC leadership of recruiting persons whom he described as “babies with sharp teeth and old evil dwarfs” to be unleashing insults and other acidic invectives at him and others. Whereas ex-President John Mahama once referred to Rawlings as a self-acclaimed “volta god” whose actions were not helping the party’s cause, the NDC General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, on his part, described the former President as a “barking dog” who deserved to be caged. Other leading members of the NDC were equally guilty of various acts of omissions and commissions designed to denigrate and render the late former president “useless and irrelevant” in the party and beyond. However, since the demise of the former President on November 12, 2020, the NDC had made a surprising u-turn, claiming they loved him more than everyone else and should be allowed to mourn him as they deemed appropriate. The party had even taken issues with the Government which they accused of hijacking the funeral of their beloved founder under the guise of organizing a state burial for him. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo So long as the NDC is concerned, everything regarding the funeral of Rawlings should be handed over to them to organize in a manner they desired. The NDC has even gone ahead to indicate that the party is holding Rawlings Memorial Health Walks across the 16 regions and in all the 275 Constituencies of the country. These so called Rawlings Memorial Walks organized by the NDC is already in full gear with the full participation of John Mahama in flagrant disregard of Covid-19 health protocols. The party also cares little about the fact that Ghana is at the verge of a second wave of the deadly coronavirus, which development had compelled other political parties including the NPP to suspend all Health Walks in pursuit of the national interest. It is on the basis of this that the wife of the former President, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings and her NDP, accused the NDC of desperately seeking to exploit the death of her husband in order to excite their base and bring back to life their unimpressive and dead campaign ahead of the December 7 elections. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos Accordingly, she called on the good people of this country not to fall for such political gimmickry and sheer opportunism of the NDC; adding that, it was her late husband’s wish that the NDC lose the 2020 General Elections for the love of God and country.

Joe Biden has already kept his first promise -- his approach to the presidency will be a top-to-bottom repudiation of the behavior, policies and obsessions of President Donald Trump. The President-elect is building his administration on old-fashioned notions that facts matter, that commanders-in-chief must project stability, that Cabinet officials need experience and expertise, that a fractured nation is governable and that the world wants the US to lead. In restoring a more conventional version of the presidency, Biden is using his mandate to counter the political forces that led to Trump's rise and which still delivered more than 73 million votes to the President, albeit in a losing cause. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught His Washington restoration is not without risk, and is already coming into conflict with Trump's blend of nihilistic conservatism that is likely to dictate the Republican Party's strategy even when he has left the Oval Office. Biden laid out his bet in its most tangible form yet Tuesday as he unveiled his national security and foreign policy team, who fanned out behind him on stage, masked and ready for action, like a SWAT team of dark-suited technocrats riding to the rescue. "Let's begin the work to heal and unite America and the world," Biden said. BIDEN TRANSITION First on CNN: Key government agency acknowledges Biden's win and begins formal transition 5 takeaways from Biden's first wave of nominations and appointments More GOP senators back transition as GSA recognizes Biden's win MAP: Full election results READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-actress-martha-ankomah-flaunts-handsome-son-on-instagram-photo His recruits, many of them protégés, represent the antithesis of the philosophy, style and comportment of Trump's authoritarian, "America First" and anti-science White House that is driven by conspiracy theories and a personality cult. Secretary of State nominee Antony Blinken has toiled for decades in government and on Capitol Hill, while rubbing shoulders with the diplomatic crowd. Jake Sullivan, the next national security adviser, is a Rhodes scholar and Yale Law graduate who is also a domestic policy expert. Biden's pick to be ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, has flown the flag for the United States in foreign embassies for 30 years. Biden's domestic, health and economic policy teams, expected to be revealed after Thanksgiving, will likely share the same blend of experience and knowledge after catching the eye of a President-elect who has more years on his Washington clock than any modern predecessor. In an interview with NBC's "Nightly News" on Tuesday, Biden said he would consider appointing a Republican to his Cabinet who had voted for Trump. "The purpose of our administration is once again uniting. We can't keep this virulent political dialogue going. It has to end," Biden said. His overarching point is this: the American people, after watching chaos, nepotism and anti-intellectualism in government amid a pandemic that killed a quarter million of their fellow citizens and as the US turned its back on its friends abroad, now just want people who know what they are doing and don't make too much noise doing it. Each of his nominees highlighted on Tuesday from Thomas-Greenfield, who is Black, and Homeland Security Secretary nominee Alejandro Mayorkas, who is Hispanic, represent individual departures from Trumpism in personality, background and qualifications. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/lifestyle-how-to-naturally-avoid-pregnancy-without-using-contraceptives-photos Multilateralism, diplomacy, quiet competence, scientific rigor, inclusivity, collegiality between top officials, respect for civil servants, the intelligence community and a welcome for immigrants are in. Bashing allies, populism, nationalism, White House backbiting, despot coddling, ring-kissing Cabinet meetings, political hacks running spy agencies, and downplaying politically inconvenient threats -- like killer viruses -- are out. Former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu believes that Biden's nominees reflect the man who chose them. "The President-elect has been demonstrating and modeling what presidential behavior looks like," Landrieu told CNN's Brooke Baldwin. "He is just trying to demonstrate to the people of America what it looks like when you have a president that is balanced, that is stable that is thoughtful and experienced," he said. The President-elect is likely to adopt that persona again when he delivers a Thanksgiving address to the American people from his hometown of Wilmington, Delaware, on Wednesday. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture A completely different America The sharp turn that America will take on Inauguration Day on January 20 reflects the stark choice that was before voters on November 3 -- which has been only made more clear during Trump's subsequent attempt to steal the election. It also underscores the elasticity of an American political system that has the ingrained capacity to counter the excesses of its leaders and often produces presidents who are the opposite of their predecessors. Four years ago, Trump won an election after a campaign in which he vowed to destroy the political and economic establishment in Washington. His presidency tore at the institutions of federal power and the consensus of elites on economic, domestic, immigration and foreign policy. His one-time political guru Steve Bannon once referred to this chaotic crusade to rip up regulations, tax rules, diplomatic traditions, and the decorum of the presidency itself as the "deconstruction of the administrative state." In many ways, in placing his faith in seasoned Washington hands like Blinken and Director of National Intelligence nominee Avril Haines, Biden is rebuilding that administrative state. Perhaps only the President-elect himself is a more establishment, experienced and conventional figure than former secretary of state and long-time senator John Kerry, who will serve as presidential climate envoy and is exactly the kind of global citizen that Bannon and his fellow travelers decry. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/watch-sarkodie-kuami-eugene-jam-to-happy-day-at-233-bar-videos Biden is not hiding his belief that more government is good. In a statement released on Monday after the Trump administration finally agreed to begin a transition, his team vowed to gain a complete understanding of Trump's "efforts to hollow government agencies." And several of Biden's national security nominees on Monday made a point of paying tribute to the unseen functionaries of government who keep the country running but were treated like an enemy within during the Trump years. "My fellow career diplomats and public servants around the world. I want to say to you, America is back, multilateralism is back, diplomacy is back," said Thomas-Greenfield. Haines spoke publicly to members of the covert community who were often on Trump's target list. "The work you do, oftentimes under the most austere conditions imaginable, is just indispensable," said Haines. Several nominees offered fealty to the American ideal, Congress, the American public and democracy. While they all praised Biden, there was little of the exaggerated praise and expressions of personal loyalty that Trump requires of his subordinates. Haines told her new boss that she'd tell him bad news that he'd rather not hear, in another implied criticism of the Trump administration. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-mungo-park-in-vogue-what-could-be-the-motivating-factor A different breed of official The impression of professionalism and competence given by the group was a contrast to the late-term personnel on whom Trump has relied, who in many cases were unqualified for the great roles of state but prospered by prioritizing loyalty to the President. Not all of Trump's initial Cabinet picks were in the same mold. Those like Defense Secretary James Mattis and Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats were experienced and experts in their fields. But their attempts to play the role that Biden expects of his appointees were frustrated when they were constantly undermined by Trump who saw his government as in exclusive service to his personal needs. And these officials, who were dubbed "adults" in the press, frequently spent their time reigning in an erratic President's worst impulses. Biden's approach is designed for the circumstances in which he will take office. With Covid-19 raging out of control he will face a nation badly in need of an organized strategy to roll out the vaccine that could restore normal life. Just not being Trump and signing back up to the Paris climate accord will give him instant wins on the world stage. But in the longer term, the test of his presidency will be whether his vision of calm, deliberative leadership can pacify a nation whose politics resembles an unruly jungle, where his opponents didn't wait until he won the election to try to delegitimize him and where there is no longer a common version of truth.

It didn't get him far with Republican opponents whose political existence was directed towards thwarting whatever he proposed. If things go wrong, Biden will face claims that the return of the administrative state triggered disaster, which will fuel Trump if he runs again in 2024 and the candidates who hope he won't so they get a shot. Abroad, Biden must prove whether indulging allies, a methodical policy process and the grunt work of dialogue can constrain a world of rising US rivals who have rocked the fraying global system in which he came of age. Experience and foreign policy expertise in successive administrations never solved some of the thorniest issues -- like North Korea's nuclear quest. One reason Trump won four years ago is that many Americans believed that the globalized instincts of a generation of Washington elites caused their jobs to go abroad and the wars in which their kids were sent to fight. One potential GOP candidate, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, wasted no time in putting down a populist marker with this in mind on Tuesday.

"I support American greatness. And I have no interest in returning to the 'normal' that left us dependent on China." His tweet, which overlooked the fact that many Trump officials also went to Ivy League schools, encapsulated the duel between Biden's traditional White House leadership at home and abroad, and the populism harnessed by Trump.
