Every year, TIME Magazine announces who it will name person of the year, the individual who done the most to influence global events "for better or for worse."
But the TIME person of the year accolade actually started by accident.
The final week of 1927 had been a series of slow news days, and editors were struggling to find someone to lead their Person of the Week feature.
According to a letter to readers that appeared in the 1944 edition, “no one had done anything newsworthy enough to put his picture on TIME’s cover, so somebody suggested we stop looking for a Man of the Week and pick a Man of the Year.
“This was an easy choice: Charles Augustus Lindbergh, who had soloed the Atlantic in only 33 hours and 39 minutes, was the hero of 1927.”

LOL! Does anyone remember when it was sort of a big deal to be on the cover of ‘time’? Now, not so much. They called and I laughed into the phone and declined.
Based on the last weeks news coverage, there is no doubt it must be George HW Bush
Part of the basic makeup of the universe.......The Fourth Dimension........
Either Mueller or some potential 2020 candidate like Beto or Kamala, or maybe the #MeToo movement (if they haven't already had them).
It is going to be Alexandria Occasional Cortex. She’s the (bucktoothed, eye-bulging) face of the “new wave” of Dems that defeated Pubbies to take the House.
If they do the group thing again, give it to the firemen in California.
Ocasio-Cortez.
It would have been Beto if he had won.
Libs like Time are **desperate** to change the subject from Biden/Hillary/Pelosi/Bernie and the other geriatrics.
Thailand cave rescuers would also be a good choice.
You are correct in a literal sense, but TIME has done “Persons of the Year” several times. So they do feel free to do it in any way they please.... does not have to be one person.
Sourczar or Asilly Millano.
Who would the Lady’s Home Journal choose.
Time is now owned by Meredith publishing and they make most of their money serving the Lady population.
Time will be certain to virtue signal their bias for Leftist, progressive policies, and show how a certain group has been “oppressed”.
So it’s very hard for a white male to get the nod.
The French Yellow Jackets is certainly one of the biggest stories — the taxpaying middle class under pressure, but the Yellow Jackets are not supporting the globalist narrative.
I’d guess:
The Honduran caravan
Women politicians
Women in business
Something like that.
Thailand cave rescuers would also be a good choice.
Excellent choice if they do a group. Michelle O—please NO.
NPC.
Yes.
Real President Hillary
I had to look up NPC - (being old is a burden)

Rather certain that she defeated a Democrat in a Primary, thereby guaranteeing her the seat in Congress.
Ocasio-Cortez the Socialist “The new face of America”.
Ocasio-Cortez.
><><
You beat me to it. they’ll call her “The new face of America” or some such crap.
I don’t think she meets the qualification of being ‘human’.
