corruption

A prime locale to talk bribery, suspect campaign funding, and all other instances of political corruption. The shadier, the better.

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. But in Algeria, this concept has long been turned on its head. 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. I am writing this not as a complaint, but as the voice of someone who has spent more than a decade trapped in silence and injustice.

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.

RFK JR IS A FUCKING MORON
I am mother of nonverbal autistic son and I am furious with Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr and the rest of the moronic Trump administration. This year has been a hell of a wishy-washy year since Trump became president again. As much as I wanted to censor this title trying to make more professional, I just thought you know what fuck it I am just so furious. Here’s why…..

Leaked Documents Expose Palantir’s Real-Time Deportation Machine. AI-Generated.
In a bombshell revelation, leaked documents obtained by investigative journalists and advocacy groups have uncovered the extent to which Palantir Technologies, a secretive data analytics firm co-founded by billionaire Peter Thiel, has enabled the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation agenda. The files, which detail Palantir’s collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), reveal a sophisticated real-time surveillance system designed to track, detain, and deport undocumented immigrants. This exposé threatens to dismantle Trump’s controversial immigration policies, spark widespread public outrage, and ignite legal battles over the ethical use of technology in federal enforcement.

ICE: The New Gestapo
Let’s stop pretending. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that hulking, unaccountable Frankenstein of a government agency, is not simply “doing its job.” It is doing a job — one chillingly reminiscent of the early 20th-century secret police forces that citizens now universally condemn… unless, apparently, those forces wear a badge with an American flag.

Tariff War
A tariff war, also known as a trade war, is a situation in which countries impose tariffs (taxes or duties) on each other's goods and services in an effort to protect their own economies or to retaliate against perceived unfair trade practices. The idea behind tariffs is to make imported goods more expensive, thereby encouraging consumers to buy domestic products. While tariffs can serve as a protective measure for local industries, they can also create tensions between trading partners and lead to a series of retaliatory actions that escalate into a full-blown tariff war. This article explores the nature of tariff wars, their causes, effects, and notable examples in recent history.
