The True Us Versus Them in the United States. Top Story - September 2025.
The Truth and the Point Laid Out Here is the truth that everyone in the United States seems to have forgotten. To my dear Republicans, Democrats are not the only corrupt people in the world of politics. Yes, they are the most corrupt at the moment, but they are certainly not the only ones. Corruption exists on every side of the government. To my dear Democrats… get your shit together and wake up to reality and the evil that is taking place. It is no longer the Democrat party in action and belief. The Democrat party has become the American Communists Party. Very tragic.

Prime Minister of Yemen's Houthi-Run Government Killed in Israeli Strike
**Prime Minister of Yemen's Houthi-Run Government Killed in Israeli Strike** In a shocking turn of events, the Prime Minister of Yemen’s Houthi-run government was killed in an Israeli airstrike, marking a significant escalation in the already volatile political and military landscape of the Middle East. The death of Abdul-Aziz bin Habtour, a high-ranking official in the Houthi-led administration, has shook Yemen, the region, and the international community. The strike, which occurred near the capital city of Sana’a, was reportedly a precision missile attack carried out by Israeli forces. While Israel has neither confirmed nor denied its involvement directly, sources close to the situation suggest that it was part of a broader strategy to target individuals linked to Iran and its allies in Yemen, as Israel has been vocal in its opposition to Iranian influence in the region. The Israeli government has, in recent years, increased its focus on containing Iran's influence, particularly within the Houthi movement, which has long been supported by Tehran.

States Where You Can Still Get a COVID-19 Vaccine at CVS After RFK Jr. Policy Changes
**States where CVS still sells the COVID-19 vaccine after JFK Policy Changes** As of late August 2025, changes in U.S. federal vaccine policy have significantly impacted the way COVID-19 vaccines are distributed, particularly at retail locations like CVS. Under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued stricter guidelines regarding eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine, restricting access to individuals over the age of 75 or those with specific high-risk medical conditions. Consequently, CVS has modified its vaccine availability policies to provide varying levels of access based on state regulations. ### Overview of the Policy Changes

The trip included a private, closed-door meeting with President Trump, a joint press conference, and a series of photo ops that quickly exploded across headlines and social media feeds.

Why Do American Citizens Keep Paying for Israel's Wars?
This article was written with the assistance of AI to help present information in a clear and accessible way. Every year, U.S. taxpayers send billions of dollars overseas—not just for weapons in general, but specifically to fund Israel’s military. While politicians in Washington frame this as “supporting an ally,” the reality is that ordinary American citizens are paying for bombs to be dropped thousands of miles away, in conflicts that rarely benefit them directly.

The Death of the Dollar
Have you ever wondered what it would mean if the U.S. dollar—the currency that has dominated global trade for decades—suddenly lost its power? It may sound like a distant possibility, but growing signs suggest that the dollar’s unshakable grip on the world economy may be loosening. And if history teaches us anything, no empire, not even one built on green paper, lasts forever.

When Accountability Becomes Optional: The Problem with Qualified Immunity
Accountability is supposed to be the bedrock of justice. If a citizen violates the law, consequences follow. But what happens when the people enforcing the law — police officers, prison guards, government officials — are shielded from consequences? That’s where qualified immunity enters the picture. This isn’t a theoretical exercise for me. My own journey as a citizen in Ephrata, facing multiple violations of my rights by government actors here, is what forced me into this classroom.
