Of Course Trump Looks Up To Jackson
Andrew Jackson, the 7th President of the United States (1829–1837), was another of our presidents who owned slaves. He has often been cited by former President Donald Trump as an inspiration, with some observers noting similarities between their leadership styles and controversial policies. Both are accused of displaying racist tendencies in public, both wanted a Cabinet of loyalists, each had a Department of War (Trump’s Defense Department was renamed to this in late 2025), and each had accusations of infidelity by Cabinet members in that Department, causing public scandals. Unlike Jackson, who ran his administration like the military commander that he was, Trump lacks military experience.

PACO Calling TACO - 11
This conversation happened on March 27, 2026, after Putin came out of hiding for a closed-door meeting with Russian oligarchs to raise money for his war against Ukraine and Trump announced that he is delaying planned strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure for 10 days, pushing the deadline to April 6, 2026.

Rant of a Human Being Trying to Survive 2026. Content Warning.
Rant of a Human Being Trying to Survive 2026 This is my first draft that I wrote. I thought it was too potent, raw, and political. However, it is not political. It is about human suffering, dignity, and living each day on Earth.

IS Russia Winning Ukraine War?
For much of the conflict, Europe framed Ukraine’s struggle as a clear case of resistance against Russian aggression. The narrative was straightforward: Ukraine was defending sovereignty, and Europe stood firmly behind it. However, by 2026, the situation has evolved into something far more complex. The war is no longer just about Ukraine—it has become a broader strategic test for Europe itself. At the center of this test lies what analysts are calling the “Trump Conundrum.”

Results Of US Regime Changes
For decades, the United States has justified its foreign interventions under the banner of promoting democracy and stability. The underlying assumption behind many of these actions is simple: remove an authoritarian leader, and a more stable, democratic, and cooperative system will naturally emerge. However, history tells a far more complicated—and often troubling—story.

The decline of the West and the rise of ‘the Rest’ will lead to a new world order
As Donald Trump rampages through the global economic system with his tariff war and throws the United States’ commitment to NATO into serious doubt, fears – even panic – are mounting about the collapse of world order. Part of the anxiety stems from how suddenly these changes appear to have unfolded. In the aftermath of the 2008 global economic crisis, what was often described as the US-led liberal international order seemed alive and well, though not without challenges.

A Widow's Freedom
I was miserable, being a useless, petted daughter with no voice. What was worse was that I didn't know it. I soon got a taste for freedom, though. I started noticing that my maids could choose their husbands for love more than I could. I started noticing how segregated we were from the men when they'd go on their own to play Poker. I started noticing how much I was treated like a pretty thing who was there as an ornament.

WHY ARAB STATES BEING TARGETED?
It is absolutely clear that they will go after every country that threatens Israel or is considered an existential or security threat to it. The agenda of Washington, D.C. is very clear: they will target every country that threatens Israel, and either destroy it through carpet bombing or erase it, just as they did with Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
