A US midterm message that resonates across the Atlantic
One of the major political messages of the US midterm elections has been that rural voters dominate the cities. While the Democrats made enough gains in urban areas to take control of the House of Representatives, Republicans were able to expand their majority in the Senate, where each state gets two senators regardless of population size. In an election where neither side can claim a sweeping victory, President Donald Trump’s party did as well as it did because the small towns and the more sparsely populated rural areas of the United States are still, in the main, Trump country. Meanwhile, Democrat votes pile up in the cities, uselessly, from an electoral point of view.There’s more to the observation than an urban-rural split, though it may be the most important. There’s the...

A US midterm message that resonates across the Atlantic

Turkish escalation of the Khashoggi crisis
Okaz newspaperDiplomats have their own style in dealing with problems and crises. They have their own methods and standards. As for the citizen who loves his country, he has his own natural style in which he expresses his rejection of the attack facing his country.This formula was clear in the aftermath of the Jamal Khashoggi case. Saudi people were able to stand in front of this massive media campaign that is controlled and managed by many international factions. Saudis stood their ground and proved to the world that they are united and that there is no way to break this unity or tamper with it.After the article published by Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan in the Washington Post, we can clearly say as Saudi people and apart from any diplomatic language that Turkey is the key...

Reporters should report, not opine
CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta has been a thorn in the side of the administration ever since Donald Trump was elected president two years ago. He has been one of the most aggressive reporters on the Trump beat, winning him a huge number of fans. Acosta has his critics as well and following last week’s heated press conference, there’s a good reason why he is often criticized.In the contentious interaction in Wednesday’s White House press conference, Acosta challenged Trump on why he had, in his rallies, described the caravan of Honduran migrants seeking asylum in the US as an “invasion”. “The caravan is an invasion,” Trump said. “It is not an invasion,” countered Acosta. “They’re hundreds and hundreds of miles away. That’s not an invasion,” Acosta...

Letter from an expat
Employment contracts signed with expatriates have sometimes come under fire for their ambiguity regarding salaries or benefits. What was agreed to and signed on is later found not to be carved in stone. A case in point is the following I received from a concerned expatriate:“Dear Tariq A. Al-Maeena:“I often read your columns and share your thoughts with my friends and colleagues. I find your opinions mostly honest and logic-based. A few days ago, I read your piece “Voices of the expatriates among us” that encouraged me to bring to your kind notice a recent example of cold-bloodedness toward one of the most learned and honorable expatriate members of your society.“One of my colleagues (also an expatriate), who is working as a university professor and is one of the most productive...

Letter from an expat

Macron has six months
The European elections next May will be something of a mid-term contest in France and the signs do not look good for President Emmanuel and his En Marche party. An opinion poll this week for the first time put Marine Le Pen’s Rassemblement National Party, formerly the National Front, ahead of En Marche. The far-right party’s leadership is reportedly much encouraged by US President Donald Trump’s strong Senate showing in America’s mid-term vote. Analysis shows that Trump once again successfully drummed up poor working class, less educated voters, that once slumbering section of the electorate which has missed out on the boom years, seeing wages kept low while manufacturing relocated abroad. The fabulous wealth of the speculators and investment bankers who suffered little from the...

Beware of the patient man, when he loses his temper
Since the death of Jamal Khashoggi, may Allah Almighty have mercy on his soul, the Turkish side has taken advantage of this case from a political and media point of view.This is apart from the criminal aspect of the case, which a country having proper institutions ought to have concerned itself with. From the beginning, the political aspect has dominated the case and the criminal aspect has just been used to fill the gaps in the political campaign and media frenzy.In the Khashoggi case, the concepts of war media and media war are being taken advantage of. As a result, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been subject to an ugly and fierce media war. Different mass media outlets, drawing on various ideologies, are cooperating with one another, each with its own agenda.Some of them belong to the...

Tehran suffocating
Okaz newspaperHungry people will have a different opinion when the rope is tightened around their necks and life becomes miserable beyond imagination.THE fifth of November was not an ordinary day. On that day, the dealings with a terror regime changed. The dream of the Iranian leaders to control the entire region was put to an end.The sequence of destroying projects established by this terrorist regime has begun.

A message from a Saudi citizen
I REALIZE that it might sound arrogant to say this, but as a young Saudi man, I am the future of my country.Let me explain. I am part of a younger generation of Saudis under the age of 30 who make up 58.5 percent of the Kingdom’s population. We are young men and women who are very comfortable in the digital world, who enjoy traveling in and experiencing different cultures, who are open-minded about embracing dramatic change.When Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman announced Vision 2030, which will reduce Saudi Arabia’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and promote a new modern and moderate image of Saudi Arabia, nobody cheered louder than my generation. These are things we have been waiting for. We knew the plan was ambitious and that it would be difficult to implement, but we are...

A message from a Saudi citizen

Why don’t we respect traffic laws?
OkazPeople learn about the principles of road safety in driving schools. However, many of the things that are taught in these schools are not applied practically on the road. Our streets are the real driving schools and they have courses that are based on the reality of the situation that drivers face every day.Many of us when we drive are on full alert for the many surprises we are going to face on the road because people fail to apply the rules of driving and adhere to traffic laws. Many believe that our streets are big enough to absorb law-abiding drivers and reckless drivers at the same time.While the traffic department attempts to apply rules and deal with violations, there is a lack of an educational approach and a general failure of drivers to follow traffic laws.As a result, our...

Donald Trump
Is Trump really wounded?
Unlike any other recent US president, Donald Trump chose to make the mid-term elections personal. He went on the stump across the country in support of Republican candidates. Thus the Democrats are hailing their takeover of the House of Representatives as a defeat for a president that they and most of the American liberal elite loathe almost beyond reason.But Trump has pointed out that he has actually been victorious because for only the sixth time in over a century, the incumbent’s party has actually increased the number of its legislators in the Senate. Moreover, Trump’s campaigning was largely confined to constituencies where Republican senators faced a tough contest or where new nominees were staging a viable challenge to a sitting Democrat. Thus, it seems that where the President...
