Joe Biden was pro­claimed the win­ner of the 2020 Amer­i­can pres­i­den­tial race on Sat­ur­day, Nov. 7. Biden crossed the 270 Elec­toral Col­lege votes thresh­old need­ed to secure the pres­i­den­cy. The rest of the votes are still being count­ed. They are yet to be cer­ti­fied by each of America’s 50 states. In elec­toral par­lance, Biden is now…

The sit­u­a­tion has sparked a remark­able resur­gence in the human spir­it as peo­ple all over the world are striv­ing in an inspir­ing bid to empha­size man’s most pri­mal instinct,…
