10 Things Ukraine Needs Right Now
Ukraine needs our help. Please call your Member of Congress at (202) 224–3121 and demand real actions to support Ukraine. Why? If we do not support Ukraine now, Russia will continue its destructive invasion and goal of rebuilding the Soviet Union. If we don’t put a swift stop to empire building by Putin now, we will have signaled to the world that there are no consequences and other dictators will soon follow.

They say War never Changes...
War... War never changes. Whether it be Ulysses S. Grant, or that guy from the Fallout video games saying it, it's an often used phrase that means something dark and dire, gritty... an idea of helplessness. If it never changes, then you can't change it. If you can't change it, what's the point in fighting it? Fighting back? Fighting at all?

The justice system needs to be improved
The justice system needs to be improved Regarding justice, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, “My ummah will remain green as long as it has three qualities, one is that when they speak, they will speak the truth. The second is that when they decide, they will not let justice go out of their hands. The third is that when they are asked for mercy, they will have mercy on the weak. Despite the enlightened teachings of Islam, today's society is striving for the fulfillment of legitimate and illegitimate aspirations by abandoning the path of justice and this situation is leading to the decline of the society. There are heaps of. In this dire situation, the first need of the society is to provide cheap and speedy justice, because problems are created due to delay or delay in the delivery of justice and people get frustrated with the chambers of justice and take the path of strife which is for the state. By no means. Just a few days ago, an elderly man was seen carrying a pile of files near the High Court.

Inflation at the Finest
Well, now; that we are fixing to be going into the spring and summer months, our electric company decided to sell out to Florida Light and Power. They have now raised the energy bills we went, from a 200 dollar electric bill in January to 400 dollars in February; she is not looking forward to seeing the next bill coming in March. It makes you wonder what will happen to people who cannot afford their electric bills and get shut off for non-payment. People cannot; run their air conditioning through the summer months? It is not looking good for the older people in North Florida that already live on a budget; to begin with, they already have to watch what they spend each month. Come on! Florida Light and Power! You have to know that raising the energy bills is not going to be working the way; all want it to it, is almost like you are charging all the high prices just for fun. People will have to choose between medicine, food, other bills such as gas and water. How are people supposed to survive through the summer months to keep cool without running their air conditioning systems? You cannot keep your settings on 68 degrees all the time, and you cannot run your air conditioning all day long. In our house, we use the fan on our air conditioner at night to keep the noises from the outside down to a minimum, and we don't run it all day because that would make our bill go higher than it is right now. So that we can sleep without interruption from the ambulances and other loud noises because it is hard to get any sleep at all. People need to start raising their voices to the rate hikes with the Florida Light and Power company. She wants to know why she has gas heat, doesn't run her air conditioner, and runs one fan in her living room, and her bill is almost 400 dollars for one month.

Nigerian Youths and the Importance of Political Representation
According to some studies, the Nigerian youth have grown disillusioned with the current political situation in Nigeria, and as it stands, these young adults make up more than half of the population in this nation. Although many are of voting age and eligible to take part in Nigerian politics, less than 20% actually register to vote, so how can Nigeria hope to move forward if its own citizens don’t take an active role in its governance? This article will discuss why Nigerian youths need quality political representation in order to improve the state of affairs throughout the country.
