The Necessary Pain and Adjustment during Government Downsizing
My husband lost his software job twice during Biden's term, so I have sympathy for those losing their government jobs. It is rough. You may have to move. You may have to beg for money from your relatives. You may have to take out more credit card debt and hope you find a job before the next payment is due. You may have to wait for more than a month for unemployment because the government bureaucracy is slow. (Or because you applied too early. Or you forgot to include a signature or a document.)

The U.S. State Department and Taiwan Independence: A Delicate Balancing Act
Taiwan's status has been one of the most complex and contentious geopolitical issues for decades. While Taiwan considers itself a sovereign nation with a democratic government, China views it as a breakaway province that must eventually be reunified, by force if necessary. The United States, through the State Department, plays a crucial role in this delicate equation, attempting to balance its commitments to Taiwan with its broader relationship with China. This article explores the U.S. State Department's position on Taiwan independence, the historical context behind it, and the potential implications for global stability.

Jan. 6 Rioters Seek Unprecedented Pardon Claims: From Murder Plots to Child Pornography
The fallout from the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot continues to reverberate through the American legal and political landscape. As hundreds of defendants face charges ranging from trespassing to seditious conspiracy, a new and controversial argument has emerged: some rioters are claiming that former President Donald Trump’s pardons should absolve them not only of their Capitol-related crimes but also of unrelated offenses uncovered during investigations, including murder plots and child pornography. This unprecedented legal strategy has sparked outrage, debate, and questions about the limits of presidential pardons.

DOGE Might Be A Uniting Factor In America After All The Complaining
DOGE, or the Department of Government Expenditures, is a hot topic of debate between fervent supporters of the Democrats and the former administration led by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. People don’t like Donald Trump and billionaires are now villainized by the young and the entitled masses because they are richer than ever before. So, appointing Elon Musk as the face of DOGE was bound to be a polarizing decision.

American Greatness is a Scam!!!. Content Warning.
"Make America Great Again...?" What do those words mean exactly? Every time I see those exact words I ask myself, "Who does that apply too exactly?" How does putting Donald Trump back in the White House make America great? Trump doesn't belong in any business or political office. He should be locked away in a prison cell. Or in a padded room with a straitjacket tied up so tightly that can't move a finger. The 2024 Election was one of the most historic events in American history. One where the right choice was easy and obvious. Kamala Harris would have been that choice. The right choice! But no... America made the choice... And it chose wrong!!! It chose a wannabe dictator who wants to destroy the American way of life.

The New Philosophy of the Modern United States of America. Top Story - February 2025.
Preamble: We the people of the United States of America hereby declare that we do not, generally speaking, approve of philosophy. It typically requires deep thought and critical self examination, two things we are very much against. In fact the entire new philosophy of the modern United States of America can best be thought of as an anti-philosophy. If there is a thing that the international community or any group or body or persons that we are against is for, or thinks is useful and important, then we stand united against it. If we are against philosophy, then how can we use it to describe our beliefs? you may ask. Please see Maxims 6 and 13 for a more detailed explanation, but basically it is because we are always free to suspend or ignore previously stated positions or long held beliefs at any time, for any reason, with no justification required or given. It is critically important that the readers of this philosophy understand it only applies to the extent we say it does, when we say it does, and if we ever change our minds about any of it, we will be sure to let you know or not. There is nothing you can do about it in any case so we probably won’t bother. We will of course hold you accountable for everything we say here so reader beware.

Pope Francis vs Trump A Heated Battle Over Migrants
The moment Pope Francis called out President Trump’s mass deportation plans, something shifted. This was not just another political disagreement. It felt like a battle between two powerful forces, each claiming to stand for what is right. One side pushing for tighter border controls, the other pleading for compassion. It is more than just policy. It is a question of what kind of world we want to live in.
