People Power In our republic, “we the people” have the power. However, people’s power is not direct: it is wielded by voting in elections. Direct democracy is a fancy name for something called “mob rule.” In a Federal Republic, like ours, the representation of each state is essential to the integrity of the nation, hence the advent of the electoral college. A side effect of this system is the concentration of importance in states–and therefore certain districts within them–whose partisan leaning is not solidified. The few swing voters in these select districts decide American elections. This leaves our modified democracy…

The growing conflict in the Middle East is not an American problem and it does not require American intervention. This lesson should have been learned by now. Diplomacy there has become increasingly unthinkable, despite the devastating consequences of a potential all-out war. Israel may be our ally, but it should not have a blank check or unconditional security guarantee. The United States must prioritize its own domestic issues and avoid falling into another trap which may cost thousands of lives and trillions of dollars. The Sparks of War Israel’s war, which began last year in Gaza, has become a full…

Kyiv or Kiev? The outcome of the Ukraine War will greatly depend on who wins the U.S. Presidential election in November. This is not a secret. Ukraine’s defense is dependent on support from the U.S. and NATO, the latter being dependent on the United States. The two candidates have differing policies in mind regarding the war, should they come into office. War on the Spectrum When former President Trump was asked which side he wanted to win the war, he replied “I want everyone to stop dying.” He desires an end to the death and destruction in Europe, the war and, consequentially, the money…

Free speech is the heartbeat of democracy. Once it fades, liberty dies a silent death. Freedom is under siege. Thousands of people are being arrested and imprisoned for their speech and being targeted on the basis of their political beliefs. Only the factions who sympathize with those in power may publicly voice their opinions, all who oppose are subject to the oppression of the state. This is not happening in Hitler’s Germany or Putin’s Russia, but in Western Europe in 2024, in some of the most “liberal” nations on earth. European governments are offering democracy as a sacrificial lamb to…

Everyone fears the horror of a state-controlled media, yet no one blinks at a media-controlled state. Narratives are wind in the sails of politicians, without its favor they are adrift. Vice President Kamala Harris’ presentation is a facade, a weak one at that. The Democrats are replacing a senile puppet grandpa with a seemingly deranged and drugged-up stepmom. However, she knows how to sail and the Republicans don’t even know how to swim. The Palace Coup Harris has secured the nomination without even receiving a single vote. As President Joe Biden’s cognitive capacity declined, Harris’ popularity rose. In her term…

The Olympics are intended to bring humanity together. The Paris games opted instead for a total fiasco, or un fiasco total, in French. After all, fiascos are a French delicacy. The games opened with a ceremony full of biblical imagery. Generally this would not be a problem, but many took issue with the flamboyant combination of Christian and queer imagery. Even the famously “virtuous” leader of Iran condemned the ceremony’s portrayal of the Last Supper. What talent the French have! Offending Ayatollah Ali Khamenei by depicting a religion banned in his own country. Further controversy centered around two female boxers, Algeria’s Imane…

Mandel Ngan – Pool/Getty Images President Joe Biden has dropped out of the race. In other words, it’s Joever. So very, very, Joever. On this week’s episode of the Joe Biden Show, the Democratic Party performed a coup, culminating with the ousting of the absent-minded president rumored to have Parkinson’s. Dark Brandon was given an ultimatum by his underling gargoyles. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the head gargoyle, is reported to have personally dealt the ultimatum’s terms; three weeks to bow out the easy way, and after, it would be the hard way. He took the easy way out. If Biden is in…

The Man in Front of the Curtain President Biden’s eyes are windows into the American government. His empty gaze makes observers wonder about the inner workings of the Oval Office. Now that his cognitive debilitation has become clear to all, even the most gullible have realized that he is not leading the nation. Somehow, the government remains functional despite one of its three branches all but falling off the tree. How does the government function without a conscious president? Why are bills being signed by a man who cannot read a teleprompter? If the president is not personally executing his…

Russia will win the war in Ukraine. Western media ignores this probable outcome, too busy coping with the fact that the vast quantities of military aid only slowed the inevitable defeat. So why then, if this conclusion has become obvious, has peace not been pursued by the West? Because the invasion was a cunning trap for the Russian bear. Decades of Western intrigue and seduction of Russia’s estranged Ukrainian sibling led to the full-scale invasion. This quickly escalated into a Western proxy war, one which the West has extended to inflict maximum pain on the insolent Russian regime. NATO supplies…

AP Photo/Gerald Herbert The presidential debate was above all else, headache-inducing. The fruit of democracy has gone rotten. Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy are relics of bygone eras that seem as distant from us now as those of Pericles and Cicero. Trump An unusually tempered former President Donald Trump began the debate by directly answering questions and refraining from his traditional belligerence. For about 30 minutes, Trump was temporarily statesmanlike in an unexpected display of competent and concise answers directed to his voter base. That did not last. Eventually, he began ignoring questions to expand on his retorts…
