politics

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.

Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy
President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff policies have long been a cornerstone of his economic agenda. But as new tariffs take effect, sparking market turmoil and international tension, even some of his most loyal supporters are raising eyebrows. High-profile figures like podcast giant Joe Rogan, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, and conservative commentator Ben Shapiro—all once vocal Trump allies—are now openly questioning the strategy. Here’s why these influential voices are pushing back and what it means for Trump’s political momentum.

Two-Party Failure, Part III: The GOP Is Dead
Ronald Reagan’s party is dead. It didn’t die quietly or with dignity. It was gutted, embalmed in white grievance politics, and is now worn like a sick cosplay by Christian nationalists and conspiracy-pilled authoritarians. What we’re seeing today isn’t a continuation of the Republican Party; it’s a hostile takeover.

The Blue Wall That Never Was: How Trump’s 2024 Victory Redrew the Political Map
Donald Trump didn’t just win in 2024 — he reshaped the modern political battlefield. Sure, the headline was 312 electoral votes, but the real story lies beneath the surface. It was how he won — and more importantly, where — that’s left political operatives on the left stunned and scrambling.

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.

Empire, Chains, and Blood: The Unholy Trinity of Imperialism, Oppression, and Genocide
Throughout history, the pursuit of power has led to some of humanity’s most brutal chapters. Imperialism—the expansion of nations through domination—has been a driving force behind political oppression and genocide. From the colonization of the Americas to the scramble for Africa, from the Holocaust to modern-day atrocities, the pattern remains the same: powerful nations and regimes exploit, suppress, and exterminate those who stand in their way.

The Failure of the Algerian Regime
In every functioning nation, the primary role of any government should be to serve its people, protect their dignity, and secure a prosperous future. But in Algeria, this concept has long been turned on its head. The Algerian regime, rather than uplifting its citizens, has for decades perfected the art of enriching itself at the cost of national unity, stability, and sovereignty. The latest political controversies only add more proof to this long and painful reality.
