New Trump campaign donation scandal unveiled

Image
  The Washington Post reports that a conservative activist group led by Ginni Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, raised nearly $600,000 in anonymous donations over three years. The donations were funneled through a right-wing think tank to hide the group’s activities from the public. This is the first case of anonymous donors supporting Thomas’ activism since she founded a conservative charity more than a decade ago. Thomas’ political advocacy has long been a source of controversy, and she has allied with people and groups with interests before the court. In 2020, Thomas privately urged White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to overturn the presidential election and urged lawmakers from undecided states to overturn Joe Biden’s win at the polls. The Post’s investigation sheds new light on the role of anonymous donations in supporting Thomas’ activism.

Improve your concentration while studying with these tricks

  Concentration is critical to the success of generating proficiency when studying, yet it is something that many students struggle to achieve when it comes to strengthening their knowledge. Fortunately, there are some effective strategies that can help improve. The first strategy can be understood as planning. It is important to set clear and realistic goals for studying and then divide the available time into manageable blocks of time. It is important to take regular and scheduled breaks to avoid mental fatigue and improve the ability to concentrate; our brain is only capable of concentrating on one activity for 30 minutes at a time. Another effective strategy is to reduce distractions. While it is tempting to check your phone or surf the Internet during breaks, it is important to remember that these activities can divert attention and decrease concentration. I recommend turning off electronic devices and keeping the study area as quiet and distraction-free as possible. The Pomod...
