Have you ever wondered what a judge is really thinking? To most people, judges are mysterious creatures. Judge Mader shines a bright spotlight on the hidden folds of the judging world. The old saying is that judges merely "follow the law". Yet following the law can produce wildly different results depending upon each judge's background, politics, and life experiences.

The president was completing tasks two to three hours before anybody else showed up in the West Wing to work. He’d get up at five o’clock in the morning and would be watching TV, tweeting, making phone calls, and doing all types of other tasks.

But this widely accepted narrative is just a legend: the “rebellion” was almost entirely nonviolent, and retired war hero Daniel Shays was only one of many leaders.

Als Wolodymyr Selenskyj – bis dahin ein populärer Schauspieler und Comedian – 2019 überraschend die ukrainische Präsidentschaftswahl gewann, ging die Welt davon aus, dass er ein schwaches Staatsoberhaupt sein und sich vom Kreml mithilfe der Oligarchen leicht lenken lassen würde.
