It seems every time one racially-charged incident ends, a gender or religious controversy takes its place; Ruminate on the issues dividing our nation and world.

MICROSOFT DESIGNER APP This is not all about me. I author these stories about abuse or other genres to help others see the dilemma of being involved with people. This story and many other stories are authored by me to inform people about these psychological issues of relationships. There are times I use "I" because the story was written from a first-person perspective. "I" does not always mean that it's about me. I am 75 years old. I authored articles that were found that I wrote at 16 and 17. So, IT IS NOT ALL ABOUT ME! FYI! Enjoy all! LOVE, PEACE, UNDERSTANDING.

Trump 2.0: Can Disruption Deliver a New Era?
Donald Trump, one of the most polarizing figures in modern American history, stands at the dawn of a second term, poised once again to challenge the status quo. His re-election, driven by a combination of his unapologetic style, economic promises, and the unwavering loyalty of his base, signals a renewed commitment to disrupting Washington and reshaping the global order. Yet, while his resolve has only strengthened, questions linger about how far his brand of disruption can go in an increasingly polarized political landscape.

Musk's Salute!. Content Warning.
Given the millions Elon Musk spent getting Donald Trump elected he will have a lot of influence on the new administration. He is the richest man on planet Earth, owner of Tesla, Boring Company, Space X, X-formerly Twitter, and Starlink. It has led many to question the very origins of this man. South African-born, Canadian, and now American. Has there ever been a phenomenon like Musk? Some in religious circles see him as the anti-Christ. Others see him as an alien or more accurately a Martian. Some ask why he is so obsessed with the red planet. Musk even plays up to this because he likes to keep people guessing or knows something we don't!

# Donald Trump’s Inauguration. AI-Generated.
# Donald Trump’s Inauguration: A Turning Point in Modern American Politics The inauguration of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President of the United States on January 20, 2017, marked a watershed moment in American political history. A billionaire businessman and reality television star with no prior political experience, Trump’s ascendancy to the presidency defied conventional norms and ushered in a new era characterised by polarisation, populism, and a direct engagement with the public via social media. The event itself and the sentiments it evoked remain etched in the collective consciousness of a divided nation.

Trump and Starmer: What Now?. Content Warning.
History shows that UK Prime Ministers and US Presidents can get on. The US and UK's relationship hasn't always been rosy. Look at the War of Independence or the 1812 War. However, when WWII broke out Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill got on tremendously. Despite one being a Conservative and the other being a Democrat. Thatcher and Reagan famously got on. Blair and Bush got on. Obama and Cameron got on. That's why the UK and US alliance is called the 'Special Relationship'. Of course, there have been times when that friendliness has been tested. Harold Wilson in the 60s declined to join the US in Vietnam. Reagan was not on board with Thatcher over The Falklands at first. Eventually, he gave her his blessing and aided the UK in the background. Not with US troops serving alongside their UK counterparts but with intelligence.

Bungling Badenoch?. Content Warning.
Kemi Badenoch has been described by the Liberal Democrats as "Bungling Badenoch". Their Deputy Leader, Daisy Cooper, said the above about the Tory leader questioning the fact that the so-called "Triple Lock" pension should be means tested. In other words, if you are a millionaire retiree why should you even get a state pension? The state pension should go to those who are ordinary OAPS. Ms. Badenoch does have a point. A means- tested pension would, in theory, sort the wheat from the chaff. In theory, it would ensure the money goes to those who really need it. When Labour stopped the winter fuel payment for older people Kemi Badenoch seemed to agree. She went on record as saying: "Millionaires should not get the winter fuel payment. Only those on the breadline". However, she described Rachel Reeves stopping the winter fuel payment for all pensioners unless they were on Pension Credit as extreme. In other words, Reeves had targetted pensioners just about surviving.
