Politics does not dictate our collective cultural mindset as much as it simply reflects it; We've got to look in the mirror sometimes, and we've got one.

Dear Author. Top Story - November 2025.
Today I read a Dear Abby column that really bugged me. It was about a woman whose best friend of thirty years abruptly stopped speaking to her because of differing political beliefs. They supported opposing parties, and her friend ended their relationship over it. The writer was hurt, but she hoped that there would be a way to work things out. When the friend had a grandchild, she wrote her a text congratulating her. Her friend responded with a "Who's this?" Our writer was ravaged and wrote the Dear Abby letter, and Abby's response was rather lacking.

Trump Pauses Tariffs.
President Trump waxed lyrical about wanting Americans to buy American goods. Trump, during his first term and 2.0 now, threatened everyone with tariffs. China, China, China, was and is a mantra for the Orange One. Trump probably sleep talks those words too. In Trump's mind, all the ills of the world are China's fault. If it rains or if Trump slips in the shower, President Xi masterminded it. Just like Trump's buddy Bibi Netanyahu blames Hamas for this and Hamas for that. These two guys really need to get a life and find a hobby.

The Dual Pressure System: Electoral Gains and Legal Peril Reshape the Political Arena . AI-Generated.
Strategic Democratic Advances in Key Electoral Battlegrounds Recent election results demonstrate a consolidating trend of Democratic success beyond federal contests. The party has achieved decisive victories in several gubernatorial and state legislative races, many in perennial swing states crucial to presidential elections. These outcomes are not isolated events but part of a concerted strategy to regain influence over critical mechanisms of governance, most notably the redistricting process. Analysts point to these wins as evidence of potent voter mobilization around specific issues, including the protection of abortion access and the defense of democratic institutions. This electoral performance has provided the Democratic Party with enhanced power to enact policy at the state level and to counteract Republican-controlled legislatures, fundamentally altering the balance of power in several key regions.

Legislative Action Ends Historic Shutdown, but Food Insecurity Crisis Highlights Lasting Impact. AI-Generated.
Conclusion of the Funding Impasse The longest federal government shutdown in United States history concluded following the signing of a short-term spending bill by President Donald Trump. This legislative action ended a 35-day hiatus in federal appropriations that began over a political stalemate concerning border security funding. The immediate effect was the reinstatement of pay for approximately 800,000 federal employees, many of whom had either been furloughed or required to work without compensation. Critical government services, from agency hotlines to national park maintenance, resumed normal operations. However, the political resolution marked the beginning of a recovery phase rather than a complete return to normalcy. The agreement provided a three-week window for Congress to negotiate a more permanent funding solution, leaving the potential for further conflict on the table and failing to address the accumulated financial damage inflicted on American households.
