Presidential Pardons: A Reflection of Distrust and a Fragile Justice System
Presidential pardons have always been a powerful tool, allowing leaders to grant clemency, correct legal misjudgments, and, at times, make political statements. However, the recent pardons issued by former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden highlight not just their differing political philosophies but also their deep distrust of each other and the fragile state of the U.S. criminal justice system. These pardons raise critical questions about the fairness of justice, political motivations, and the broad powers of the executive branch.

Cutting Off The Helping Hand. Content Warning.
I hate being right. Four days into this presidency, I said a whole bunch of things, and already more than one of them appears to be happening. Admittedly it was not the changes I expected right away, but the ramifications are beyond what I would consider to be recoverable. In short, what is about to happen is going to be irrevocable damage, and will result in widespread global destabilization, in addition to internal destabilization.

Mindless Obedience. Content Warning.
She remembers the day it all changed. Her world, her life... everything she knew became twisted. The whole world changed in an instant. It was the day this twisted version of a patriotic political party gained control in her country. They called themselves the party for the country and making it "great" once again. They were led by a man whose rise to power was swift and done by gaslighting the people into believing that he would give them wealth and make their country shine again. His name was Hitler. He destroyed her life, and the lives of millions.

Fish in a Barrel. Runner-Up in The Moment That Changed Everything Challenge.
Friday November 22, 1963 Manhattan, New York, 1 p.m. Prime rib, asparagus and whipped potatoes, .5 cent beers and .15 cent Manhattans were the lunch special every Friday at Captain Cutler’s Lounge in Midtown. You could smell it as you turned from Fifth Avenue onto West Fifty-Sixth. It was warm, so the door to the lounge was propped open by a golden hoof of a door stop. Cigar smoke and plunky jazz wormed its way onto the street to mix with the low hanging clouds that blanketed the city.
