Trump and Sheinbaum use Opposite Approaches to Achieve Similar Results
As in many things, fear in American politics sells. Americans seemingly can’t get enough of it. They love voting for people that remind them of who it is they should be afraid of, and why they should be afraid of them. They also very much appreciate being reminded that it is those same people who are responsible for all the bad things in their lives, and the lives of their loved ones. Typically these people are foreigners, though sometimes other Americans with different political viewpoints fill in as the fear based objects of choice. If you are wondering how it is I know that Americans really love these things, it is simple, because the people that espouse fear based politics get elected over and over again to a variety of government offices, up to and including presidents of the United States. In fact the easiest way to get elected to political office in the United States is to run on an agenda of be afraid, be very afraid. Professional politicians like the newly elected President of the United States Donald Trump understand and appreciate this fact about the American people, and they exploit it to their advantage whenever necessary to achieve their objectives. It is a highly effective strategy, in the short, and even medium term. Unfortunately for everyone, it is generally epically disastrous in the long term, but who thinks about the long term these days? Not Americans that is for damn sure.

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.
