Will the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum Be Trump's Next Target?
In late July, Ichiro, CC Sabathia, and Billy Wagner will be officially inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. That's because these three ex-MLB players paid their dues and deserve to be recognized as legends. Two months ago, our loudmouth-in-chief was considering pardoning the late Pete Rose and blamed Major League Baseball for banning him for life from baseball, making him ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame. I'm not sure how Rose would be pardoned, if it were to happen, but there's a good chance that it would never happen. I've stated in my story about Pete Rose that he should remain banned for life from baseball and Hall of Fame consideration to be null and void. When Pete Rose passed away in September 2024, I didn't share any condolences on any of my social media pages, because I felt it was inappropriate to praise someone who bet on baseball and had no care in the world about how it affected his team, players, and fans. I know it sound callous of me saying this, but betting on baseball is a form of cheating. Cheating in baseball is an unforgiveable act and I'll never acknowledge Pete Rose as a legend. It shows that integrity for the game didn't matter to him.

Don't Mess with A Legend
Major League Baseball and all 30 teams recently celebrated Jackie Robinson Day: a day to remember the legacy and career of Los Angeles Dodgers player Jackie Robinson. All players wore the number 42 and many of them cited the legendary player as a positive influence and of the reasons why they're playing in the league today. Jackie Robinson Day has been recognized league-wide since 2004. Over two decades later, this day is still important and relevant to not only the players themselves, but to baseball fans everywhere.

"The secrets behind the financial game: The underground rules that control the game you can’t see". AI-Generated.
Understanding Financial Unwritten Rules: The Underworld Through My Lens. You asked me what I understood about “financial unwritten rules” and wanted to see my “underground world experience”. Haha, I am not a novice in banking, but I dig deep into the truth, scour through data and perspectives to expose financial dramas. Financial unwritten rules, in my opinion, are the invisible strings that control the money chessboard – not written in books, not taught in schools, but everyone in the game must kneel or learn how to cut the strings. I will draw for you five “unwritten rules” that I see, each one is a beast in the financial jungle, with a little “venom” to show you that I am not just talking.

When Refugees Are Abandoned. Content Warning.
In the modern world, we often hear beautiful speeches about human rights, refugee protection, and global solidarity. But for many political refugees, these words are just empty promises. I am writing this not as a complaint, but as the voice of someone who has spent more than a decade trapped in silence and injustice.

When Refugees Suffer in Silence
For many people, the word "refugee" might trigger images of hope, of international solidarity, or at least the belief that global organizations like the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are providing protection. But the reality on the ground is often far from the polished reports or charity campaigns people see online. As a political refugee stuck in Malaysia for over a decade, I can say with certainty: refugees are suffering in silence.

RFK JR IS A FUCKING MORON
I am mother of nonverbal autistic son and I am furious with Mr. Robert F. Kennedy Jr and the rest of the moronic Trump administration. This year has been a hell of a wishy-washy year since Trump became president again. As much as I wanted to censor this title trying to make more professional, I just thought you know what fuck it I am just so furious. Here’s why…..

God Hates Who, Exactly?
Let’s set the record straight. The ongoing attacks on the LGBTQ+ community from America’s political Right have nothing to do with “protecting children” or “defending religious values.” These slogans are just moral window dressing—cover for something far more familiar: the need to punish nonconformity.

Shaken Grounds: Earthquakes Are Shaking Up Asia — Are We Prepared?
When the Earth Shakes, We Panic and Then We Raise the Buildings You never forget the sound. It’s not quite thunder. It’s not quite a train. It’s deeper. Heavier. And it rumbles your stomach before you realize that the ground’s moving.
