controversies
It seems every time one racially-charged incident ends, a gender or religious controversy takes its place; Ruminate on the issues dividing our nation and world.
On the Brink:
A convergence of large-scale campaigns, risky military probes, growing authoritarian brinkmanship and eroding diplomatic backstops has created a volatile global landscape — and several flashpoints could cascade into a far larger war.

Cato vs Caesar: The False Dilemma of Modern Democracy
I write this article against the backdrop of today’s political turbulence, the rise of polarisation and extremism in the United States, where hate speech and even political assassination are no longer unthinkable. These events follow an already toxic atmosphere in Europe, with authoritarian tendencies, corruption, and populist rhetoric undermining democratic institutions. In this climate, the dilemmas faced by Rome on the eve of Caesar’s rise feel less like distant history and more like an urgent mirror for our own time.

The United Nations General Assembly: The Center for Peace and Global Cooperation
United Nations General Assembly: A Platform for Peace, Cooperation and Global Unity World history is full of wars, conflicts and differences. The First and Second World Wars revealed the fact that if humanity is to survive, a global organization based on peace and cooperation must be established that can bring all countries to the same table. The United Nations came into being in 1945 at the end of World War II. Its most prominent and central organ is the General Assembly, which is a unique forum for dialogue, cooperation and policy-making among nations at the global level.

Charlie Kirk: Controversial in Life, Controversial in Death.. Content Warning.
If the killer who pulled the trigger thought that assassinating Charlie Kirk would silence him, they had another thing coming. His wife, Erica Kirk, made a tearful announcement of forgiving her husband's killer. She is now the leader of Turning Point. The organisation is dedicated to delivering a Conservative ethos both religiously and politically, and is growing exponentially.

No Internet in Afghanistan?
It began with whispers on social media. Screenshots of blank connections. Messages that wouldn’t send. A generation that had grown up with the hum of WhatsApp notifications suddenly sat in silence. For a moment, it seemed as if Afghanistan had been unplugged from the rest of the world.

Escalator Escapades, Teleprompter Trip Ups, and Sound System Shambles.
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Donald Trump. First off, when he arrived at the UN building, the escalator he mounted stopped working. Leaving the President and the First Lady stuck at the bottom of the escalator. Then, when Trump was making his speech at the UN auditorium, his teleprompter stopped working. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the sound system started to play up.

When Words Become Bullets
Not long ago, Dallas woke up to the sound of gunfire and another scar on our country. A man climbed onto a rooftop and opened fire at an ICE building. His bullets tore into a van that was hauling detainees. One life was taken, others were hurt, and before the smoke cleared, the shooter had turned the gun on himself. Later, investigators found a shell casing with two words scratched into it: “ANTI-ICE.” That single mark told the whole story. This wasn’t random rage. This was someone carrying out the slogans he had swallowed. It wasn’t a blind act of rage. It was ideology turned into ammunition.

Only Trump Can Change Things. Content Warning.
As the conflict rages in Gaza, the West Bank is slowly being swallowed up by Israel. World leaders will meet today at the UN in New York. They are meeting to discuss a two-state solution to end the years of conflict between Israel and Palestine. World leaders like Macron, Starmer, Merz, etc, have already given their blessing and backing of a Palestinian state. Donald Trump is also expected to attend this meeting and address the UN on the subject.

If Charlie Kirk was Black Republican
Ever since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, things have gone haywire. Half were saddened by this god awful tragedy, half were stunned, and the other half celebrated his death. After the assassination, Trump ordered that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff at the White House, on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions, as a mark of respect for Kirk. The order remained in effect until sunset on September 14.
