Incentivized Abandonment
Marriage was once a covenant that joined two lives in responsibility and perseverance. It required sacrifice from both, patience from both, and accountability from both. Today, marriage has been redefined by culture and rewritten by law. The covenant has been reduced to a contract, and the contract now rewards abandonment more than endurance. People no longer ask what it takes to stay. They ask what they can gain by leaving.

Taught to Expect, Not to Honor
Modern society has trained women to expect everything and to honor nothing. They are raised to know what they want but not to know what they owe. They are told to list their standards but never to build the strength required to meet someone else’s. The result is a generation fluent in demands but illiterate in duty. Love cannot survive when one side learns only to expect while the other learns only to give.

The One-Way Street of Modern Love
Modern relationships were supposed to be built on equality, but what we call equality has become one-sided. Men are taught to give, to serve, to protect, and to love unconditionally. Women are taught to expect those things and to measure a man’s worth by how perfectly he provides them. Men are conditioned to earn love. Women are conditioned to receive it. The result is not partnership but imbalance—a one-way street where the traffic of sacrifice flows in only one direction.

Today, fandoms include all forms of media: books, films, television shows, computer games, comic books, and even virtual reality worlds. They are far more than being fond of them—they shape identity, build community, and fuel imagination.

Not Quite How Dad Planned It . Top Story - November 2025.
MAPS I HOLD ON TO *** I think I would like to start over, I believe that I made some wrong turns. Stuck in these messed up adventures of my life, seems to tell me I still got so much to learn. Things you're certain that you'd never forget, begin to fade like an old pair of jeans. I guess I neglected to remember to care for the map that you instilled in me.

Trump Security Clearance Suspension: The Perkins Coie Connection

Refugee Entry Suspension: How the Trump Administration Changed U.S. Immigration Policy
In early 2017, the world watched as the Trump administration made one of its most controversial decisions, the suspension of refugee entry into the United States. The move was part of a broader immigration policy aimed at tightening U.S. borders and limiting the number of people entering from certain countries. For many, it was a shock. For others, it was a promise kept. But for thousands of refugees, it meant uncertainty, fear, and long waits for safety.

Not About Nigeria
Donald Trump and Nigeria: A Self-Serving Agenda, Not Humanitarian Aid Introduction The world recently witnessed former U.S. President Donald Trump making headlines regarding Nigeria, invoking concerns over alleged religious persecution and threatening military action. On the surface, these statements appear to suggest a moral crusade — an intervention meant to protect oppressed populations. However, a deeper historical, political, and strategic analysis reveals a different narrative: Trump’s actions are primarily self-serving. This article argues that Trump’s threats toward Nigeria are motivated not by altruism or global humanitarian responsibility, but by political maneuvering, personal legacy-building, and attempts to appeal to a domestic and international constituency for his own benefit.
