What Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione can teach us
In this article I will discuss what people like Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione and even the woman that turned him in can teach us. Most of it is what we should already know. Before I begin, as in the previous article about Brian Thompson, I do not condone violence. For people bringing up eh French Revolution, they need to remember the Reign of Terror and how the French got Napoleon Bonaparte. As a person said in a move, "revolutions have a way of turning against you." This does not mean I have any sympathy for Brian Thompson and his ilk. Trust me when I tell you that his kind are only worried about losing their money and do not care about you. They are mostly made up of psychopaths, so they are incapable of feeling anything. Psychopaths tend to gravitate to positions of power and money.

In a passionate and candid interview, Arizona Democratic Congressman Greg Stanton shared his frustration with President Biden’s recent decision regarding Hunter Biden's legal matters. In a post yesterday, Stanton made it clear that while he respects President Biden, he believes the president’s actions regarding his son’s legal situation were a mistake. Stanton expressed his belief that the prosecution of Hunter Biden was not politically motivated, a stance that sharply contrasts with the president’s recent comments.

Lessons For The Left
As someone who follows Politics but stops short of the deep-dives of being a Political Commentator (Plus, you know, wanting to live on a habitable planet...) I've noticed some broad trends recently.

Orange Cult Politics
The Cold War era saw the rise of the Red Scare, a period of hysteria over the perceived threat of Communists in the U.S. "The Red Menace" and "Red China" are also associated with identifying communism.

"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.

Tulsi Gabbard's Surprising Appointment as Director of National Intelligence: A Bold Shift in U.S. Foreign Policy?
Former President Donald Trump’s recent announcement appointing former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has sparked intense debate, both in Washington and among the public. Known for her unorthodox stance on U.S. foreign policy, Gabbard's transition from Democratic representative to Trump ally has been a gradual yet strategic evolution, shaping her into a potent figure in the MAGA movement. Gabbard’s appointment may indicate a shifting focus within the Intelligence Community (IC), particularly concerning traditional diplomatic norms and U.S. military intervention.

Trump Taps Fox News Host Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary: A Controversial Choice or Strategic Masterstroke?
Introduction The recent announcement that former President Donald Trump has selected Fox News host and former Army National Guard officer Pete Hegseth as his choice for Secretary of Defense has set the political sphere abuzz. While Hegseth is known for his military experience and outspoken political views, his nomination for such a crucial and high-stakes role raises significant questions. Is Hegseth’s potential leadership at the Department of Defense a calculated move in line with Trump’s vision for national security, or does it introduce new challenges given Hegseth’s lack of traditional governmental defense experience? Here, we examine what this appointment could mean for U.S. defense policy, Hegseth’s suitability for the role, and the likely implications on both domestic and international stages.

Were You REALLY Surprised By The 2024 Election?
We all know what a joke our presidential elections have been for the last 12 years. It's been a bad road circus with rodeo clowns running the show, and they ONLY had a trapeze act. We keep this statement exactly as it is, and almost ALL Americans can agree with each other.

Considering possibilities after the 2024 U.S. election
I used to be so pompous and sure of everything only 10 years ago. I've changed so much, anyone who knew me then probably would think I'm an imposter. Some of the changes I made for myself, and some were forced upon me. That's difficult to explain, but not necessary for the discussion I want to have about my government, my country, the election's results, and the possibilities for our future.
