Exams for Office
I don't have to tell you all how fed up I am with morons like Marjorie Taylor Greene, high school dropouts like Lauren Boebert, idiots like Donald Trump or any other moron like them are able to run for office, let alone be able to hold office.

Why Russian troops defeated Chechen rebels, but can't do anything about Ukrainian troops
Those who know a little bit about the Russia-Ukraine conflict will know that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is now becoming a very tough tug-of-war. The Russian army is fighting extremely hard in the territory of the USSR, and the First Tank Army of the Konrad was annihilated by the USSR with many mobile units. This kind of tragedy is relatively rare in the history of the Russian and Soviet armies. Only at the beginning of the Soviet-German War, the Soviets made a series of serious mistakes when they did not know the enemy's situation. By the time of the Battle of Moscow, the Soviets were able to stabilize their position and not only hold Moscow, but also counterattack more than 130 kilo meters to destroy a large number of German troops.

The Informal Sector of the Cochabamian Economy
Cochabamba is the fourth-largest city in Bolivia and is located in a valley in the Andes mountain range. In Owners of the Sidewalk: Security and Survival in the Informal City, Daniel Goldstein writes about the people who had to relocate to the city from the agricultural lands and mining towns due to the effects of neoliberal reforms. In 1993, Planning Minister Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada was elected and soon after, the laws concerning imported food were changed such that the Bolivian farmers, who had lost their government-provided subsidies, could no longer compete with foreign farmers. (Goldstein 2016, 37). According to Cultural Anthropology: A Toolkit for a Global Age, by Kenneth Guest, “ Stratification and inequality became more pronounced in industrialized capitalist economies over recent centuries, and this uneven development appears to be accelerating under forces of globalization” (Guest 2020, 345). As the nation globalized, the city’s informal economy grew.

The Persistent Challenge of a United Europe
Poland and Hungary: A Democratic Dilemma One of the most recent and pressing examples of political and democratic crises within EU member states has been the situation in Poland, exacerbated by Hungary’s veto power. The European Union was founded on principles of human rights protection and the separation of powers—not just as ideals but as mandatory criteria for membership. However, Poland’s trajectory has raised concerns about democratic backsliding since the right-wing, Catholic-conservative party PiS secured a parliamentary majority.

The Man That Threatens The World
It all started a year ago. Between October and November 2021, Vladimir Putin began a troop build-up and military equipment along the Russia-Ukraine border. Over the following months, more forces were amassed in Belarus, and Russia occupied Crimea. By February of 2022, just six months after the U.S. withdrew from Afghanistan, the world watched as Russia began its invasion of Ukraine.

One More Seat at the Table
» KEY POINTS For years, there had been dire warnings that my State of Rhode Island was going to lose one of its two seats in the House of Representatives when the 2020 Census was completed. Yet, when the results from the 2020 Census were released, Rhode Island was not in so much danger of losing that seat. How did this come about? Are there ways that Rhode Island could have lost that seat, both in this universe and others? Did my own actions make a significant impact to save it?

I’m Switching to the GOP and Running For President
I’m officially fed up. I’m tired of the loudest, whiniest people in politics always getting their way. They piss and moan, and complain about being “persecuted” for their religious and political beliefs.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Husband is Over Her Shit
Perry Greene has finally pulled the plug on his marriage to nutcase Marjorie Taylor Greene. I’m not sure what the final tipping point was, but take your pic. This woman is a dumpster fire out of control in the back of a Walmart loading dock area. She’s truly a garbage human.
