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.

Should Sunak Have Waited?. Content Warning.
When Mr. Sunak announced in May he was calling an election on 4 July many could not believe it. As the former Prime Minister suggested, he would hold the election at the back end of the year. Some thought he would hold the election in November. As Sunak stood there in the pouring rain announcing the election, the rain seemed like a bad omen. Voters on the 4 July rejected him en mass and rained on his parade ending his reign. After much soul-searching and licking their wounds, the Tories elected a new leader. Kemi Badenoch is yet another female leader who has been likened to (again) Mrs. T (Thatcher). Before her May and Truss were likened to Thatcher and where are they now?

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.

North Carolina Post-Election. Content Warning.
I live in the area of western North Carolina were Hurricane Helene hit. I've got friends and family members who could have been killed during the storm. It's a miracle that they weren't. My mother and I made it though because we live at a higher elevation. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris sent help to us right away as soon as they could. The National Guard had to wait until the fog cleared up enough for the helicopters to land safely. Providing us with much needed food, water, and emergency aid. They also sent crews to repair the roads and clear away the fallen trees. So that they could restore power and running water around the communities.

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.
