Trust and Transparency: The Moral Foundation of Election Integrity
Every free society depends on faith, not blind faith in leaders, but faith in the process that grants them power. Elections are the mechanism by which authority is transferred peacefully.

Christopher Columbus: The Man Who Changed the Course of History
Christopher Columbus: The Man Who Changed the Course of History BY:Khan Dear children! Today, let’s talk about a man whose name is forever written in the pages of world history — Christopher Columbus, the explorer who is said to have discovered America. Though many historians debate this claim — saying that Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer, reached North America almost five hundred years before Columbus, and that Muslim travelers may have reached the continent even earlier — it is Columbus whose name remains most closely linked with the “discovery” of the New World. Some also believe that Marco Polo had hinted at lands beyond the ocean long before Columbus’s voyages. Yet, in most accounts of history, the honor of opening the gates to a new world is given to Christopher Columbus.

By Lynn Myers Published on Vocal Media — October 2025 When a legend like Diane Keaton passes, the world does not simply lose a performer. It loses a compass. Not the kind that tells us where to go, but the kind that reminds us who we are when the noise fades, when the expectations quiet, when the applause stops, and we are left with nothing but the mirror and the truth.

Karma had spent his life chasing legends. From the moment he could remember, stories of Shambhala—the hidden kingdom in the Himalayas—had filled his imagination. In his small Tibetan village, elders spoke of it not as a physical place, but as a realm of perfect harmony, invisible to anyone who carried fear, greed, or impatience. Some dismissed it as myth. Others claimed to have glimpsed it, only to vanish into the mountains.
