The week before the recent solar eclipse, an extensive nor’easter disabled power to hundreds of thousands. On the Friday before the celestial happenings, a rare 4.8 earthquake centered in New Jersey shook a good part of the Northeast just days after a much larger quake in Taiwan – 7.4 magnitude – collapsed buildings resulting in at least 13 deaths.

Headlining Major League Baseball’s (MLB) offseason was not its uniform fiasco, the Players Association’s battles, the new ownership of the Baltimore Orioles or the bickering over broadcast rights.  Rather, it was the record $700-million contract the Los Angeles Dodgers accorded Shohei Ohtani, the richest in sports’ history.

However, how many are aware that Iranian mercenaries killed three U.S. Soldiers in Jordan.  More to the point, how many know we have troops in Jordan?  What about the recently concluded World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland? The WEF has been meeting annually for 54 years, just four years less than the inaugural Super Bowl in 1967.
