One strategy of an unpopular politician is to make everyone believe that his/her ideas are the best for the country and that he/she has constituents’ total support. Case in point: birthright citizenship. Trump and his pick to head the…
The retaliatory behavior of the GOP — for example: Congressional GOPers want to pursue criminal charges against Liz Cheney because she spoke out against Trump or Trump and his cronies are suing an Iowa newspaper and longtime pollster who…

Ever since Trump won the 2024 presidential election, political strategists have been saying that one of the strongest reasons he won was his promise to lower grocery prices. Seems he’s walking back that particular promise. Among today’s headline roundup,…
One of the more weird arguments from Trump supporters are those who insist on seeing this very flawed man as the “savior” or our country. According to these blind-faith supporters, Trump is the “chosen one” who will bring prosperity…
If you even casually scroll through YouTube, you’re bound to see one video talking about “the shift.” These YouTubers talk about how everything we know is going to change. Pretty sure they’re heralding Trump as that change maker. The…
Ever since globalization gripped the world, people in all countries have become acutely aware of how our quality of life compares to our global neighbors. There’s no blatant spotlight on disparities than a nation’s healthcare system. Much like the…

The dread and despair of what and who Trump will bring to the White House has been underway long before Harris conceded the election. Remember Project 2025? When it comes to ‘shock and awe,’ the president-elect has not disappointed….
Right-wing Christian nationalists are steadily pushing their agenda past the point of intrusion into our daily lives. From telling us which books our children can read to forcing every public school child in some states to hear daily Bible…
It’s an understatement to say that Trump is creating chaos as he, and his cronies, move to ‘dismantle’ Washington for his own benefit. No sector is spared, not even the White House Briefing Room. Rumors say that Trump plans…
If you haven’t noticed, because I limit this curation of news headlines to only 10, I’ve designated each number as a specific category: 1. poll/survey; 2. world news; 3. US news; 4. business; 5. US human interest or psychology;…
There’s no better word to describe THIS time, at this MOMENT, than the word Limbo. The word means “in an uncertain or undecided state.” On a personal level we’re in a state of limbo as to whether or not…
An analysis of the 2024 presidential election results is as puzzling as the outcome: Four states where voters sent Trump to the White House also voted to send Democrats to the Senate. This partisan disparity is called a mismatch….
The global struggle of countries going green has been as fierce a battle as found in Ukraine or Gaza but with little of the urgency or unity that such conflicts often demand. The latest example comes from Brussels, where…
A new survey finds that Americans are actually being kinder and are more giving as we approach the end of 2024 — and closer to an administration that prizes vengeance, loyalty and dominance. So, depending on your perspective, it’s…

If the Harris campaign for president taught us anything, it’s the fact that many U.S. men — of all ethnicities — feel threatened by strong females in leadership positions. Research and polling consistently show that gender bias plays a…
