Why Black History Matters in America?
The United States of America is celebrating their 250th anniversary in 2026. I'm proud to be an American and as someone who was born here, I wouldn't imagine myself living anywhere else. This is a country where opportunities are possible. Where anyone can be successful in anything they desire to do. Equality, community, and togetherness are the backbones of what America is and should be about. However, we have an administration who wants to erase and disregard those who have made positive, meaningful impacts in our country, specifically Black figures, such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, and Maya Angelou. President Trump and his administration have been constantly complaining and fighting against what they call the "Woke agenda". They use this excuse as a distraction from other issues they refuse to address, such as the high cost of living, climate change, and inflation. That equality is dividing America, when in reality, it's bringing us together. Being woke is not tied to a specific political party. No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, you can still care about other people and their plights. Compassion and empathy for others isn't tied to a political party, either. We were taught as children to treat others the way we want to be treated and not judge others because they're different from us. Caring about others isn't a personal attack on your beliefs. It doesn't make you any less of a person. People who are easily offended over African American figures, past or present, or anything related to it, are grasping at straws. Current and future generations need to know who people like Harriet Tubman and Shirley Chisholm were, especially in the classroom. Black History is part of American History. It should be recognized, not hidden or forgotten. Besides, you can't shield children from everything, just because your feelings are easily hurt.

Help with US border
Overview of the Proposal President Donald Trump recently suggested — in a social media post on Truth Social — that the United States “should have” invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in order to bring NATO forces to the U.S. southern border to help stem illegal immigration. According to Trump, calling on NATO allies to secure the border would “free up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks.” Article 5 is NATO’s collective defense clause, stating that an armed attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It’s the cornerstone of the alliance’s mutual defense guarantee — and in nearly 80 years, it has been invoked only once, when NATO allies responded to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Trump’s remarks represent a sharp departure from how Article 5 has historically been understood and applied. Illegal immigration — no matter the scale — is not typically viewed as an armed attack by another state, which is the standard under the treaty to trigger collective defense.

Global Allies in a US (Trump) Vs Iran Crisis Who Stands With Whom?”
As tensions between the United States and Iran escalate in early 2026, global leaders and analysts are weighing the potential fallout of an outright war. Around January 23, 2026, Iran’s clerics publicly warned that any U.S. military action would prompt retaliation targeting U.S. investments across the region. At the same time, the United States deployed a naval “armada” — including an aircraft carrier strike group — toward Iranian waters while publicly hoping to avoid direct conflict.

How companies handle your concerns and treat you is the primary factor in differentiating the best from the worst customer service.
