Mattress Firm . Content Warning.
Mattress Firm's "All Night Long" advertising campaign highlights what most of us have come to already know…People can suck! These commercials showcase the self-centered and self-serving society we have become. I do not blame or hold Lionel Richie responsible for the use of his song in these series of commercials.

God of the Conqueror: How Religion Was Weaponized Against the Colonized
The history of empire is not just a story of land and gold. It is also a story of God. From the Spanish missions of Latin America to the Anglican schools of Southern Africa, religious institutions were often the first tools of empire. Churches arrived before flags. Bibles before bullets. Priests before governors. And with them came the most dangerous lie ever sold: that submission to foreign rule was not only political, but divine.

I am also thinking of re-answering some of the discussion questions as well for some articles too.

His administration's bold decisions, especially the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and the strengthening of U.S.-Israel ties, intensified regional tensions and reshaped alliances across the region.
