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.

Donald Trump: America's Most Corrupt President - Crime History. Content Warning.
Recently, the Epstein Files revealed that the super wealthy have engaged in gut churning sexual crimes on minors. Including the worst US President in American history, Donald J Trump.

Kharg Island Bombed: Trump.
Trump's postings on his social media network, Truth Social, can be flamboyant, over-the-top, dramatic, theatrical, and, dare I say, economical with the truth, making things seem bigger or better than they actually are. Not surprising from a man who thinks all eyes should be on him.

What Is It And Why's It So Dangerous
To start with, where are these hospitals at when we need them? Dammit! Most of them closed in the 80's. Yes, if you are that young, there were once nice little places where people could go for rest, rehabilitation, and to get a good jolt, meds, or a lobotomy.

In Defense Of Liars, Thieves, And Scumbags
We live in a world filled with those who are dishonest, untrustworthy, or act unethically. Just because you don't think so doesn't make it any less true. And in that world filled with those types of individuals, there are people who would still defend them to their last breath. It's a strange anomaly we are all witnessing more and more. But what can we do about it?

"For Your Convenience"
So, I have this thing where I'm a little unhinged from time to time. I went from having zero filter as a child to not speaking up at all in my teens and early twenties. I think I'm starting to find a balance, but occasionally, I pop off and don't know how to say things "nicely"... I guess.
