Trump: Our Bombs Are Bigger & Badder. Khamenei: We'll Invoke the Right to Defend Ourselves!. Content Warning.
In a world increasingly shaped by double standards and global power politics, the recent verbal jousting between Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and U.S. President Donald Trump over Iran’s nuclear program is not merely a diplomatic dispute—it is a stark reminder of how selective morality dominates international relations.

How India’s Threat to Block Rivers Could Devastate Pakistan.. AI-Generated.
How India’s Threat to Block Rivers Could Devastate Pakistan. Tensions between India and Pakistan have long simmered due to historical, territorial, and political disputes. Among the most pressing and potentially devastating of these is the conflict over water — specifically, the rivers that flow from India into Pakistan under the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT). India's repeated threats to block or divert these rivers could have catastrophic consequences for Pakistan, a country that relies heavily on these waters for agriculture, energy, and human consumption.

Your Silence Is Your Assent
There’s a phrase I’ve come to loathe more than any other over the past few months. I’ve heard it from friends, family, colleagues—smart, decent people who know better:

Empire, Chains, and Blood: The Unholy Trinity of Imperialism, Oppression, and Genocide
Throughout history, the pursuit of power has led to some of humanity’s most brutal chapters. Imperialism—the expansion of nations through domination—has been a driving force behind political oppression and genocide. From the colonization of the Americas to the scramble for Africa, from the Holocaust to modern-day atrocities, the pattern remains the same: powerful nations and regimes exploit, suppress, and exterminate those who stand in their way.

The Failure of the Algerian Regime
In every functioning nation, the primary role of any government should be to serve its people, protect their dignity, and secure a prosperous future.

The Algerian regime, rather than uplifting its citizens, has for decades perfected the art of enriching itself at the cost of national unity, stability, and sovereignty. The latest political controversies only add more proof to this long and painful reality.

When Refugees Are Abandoned. Content Warning.
In the modern world, we often hear beautiful speeches about human rights, refugee protection, and global solidarity. But for many political refugees, these words are just empty promises.

The Police Should Go Nuclear!. Content Warning.
NOTE: This article is purely satire. In the news, there is this talk about defunding the police. It would be bad on many counts because criminals can get off Scott Free for their crimes. Should the bureaucrats get their way, the police will be helplessly undermined by severe budget cuts. Now, this would put cities and towns all over America in peril. However, I have to say there is a solution to this defunding of the police.
