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.

Uefa logic dictates Israel should face same sanction as Russia
I’m not someone who generally approves of using sport for political ends, believing friendly competition is perhaps the best tool we possess to unite people from different cultures and backgrounds… but as more and more money has come into play during my lifetime even the world of sport has become tainted by greed and avarice.

Church bell tolls for an end to the ethnic cleansing of Palestine
Boasting an impressive list of speakers, including singer and TV personality Charlotte Church, Saturday’s Welsh National March For Palestine saw thousands of humanitarian crusaders from across Wales gather in Cardiff’s Central Square to express their prayers for the UK government to stop condoning Benjamin Netanyahu’s campaign of terror in Gaza, where tens of thousands of children and civilians have been slaughtered by the Israel Defence Forces since the false-flag Hamas raid on 7 October.

Putin is Undead
Oleh Smal drew the cartoon above in 2014. Putin had just annexed Crimea then and those of us who grew up in the Soviet Union knew he would not stop there. The vampire theme turned out to be prophetic.

A Palestinian's plea for life of her people to be valued by humanity
Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank is not an isolated atrocity... history is littered with similar inhumane examples of the savagery mankind is capable of. Cambodia, Vietnam, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Nazi Germany, the list is endless and spans centuries.

Disapproval from Within: Biden vs. Trump
A year ago, if one had inquired about the likeliness of President Biden being re-elected next year, the feedback and forecasts would have been swift, positive, and certain. Especially in contrast to his predecessor. Now...with a low approval rating, it appears his re-election bid will be an uphill battle.

Break in hostilities but Blair and Cameron back to stir things up
Just when you thought the situation in Gaza couldn’t get any more sinister, who should pop back up on the radar but former British prime ministers and World Economic Forum (WEF) facilitators David Cameron and Tony Blair.

Farewell the Steel Magnolia
Like Rosalynn, my Nana was a woman of quick wit, sharp instinct, unflappability, and grace. My grandfather, like President Jimmy Carter, had the good sense to marry a woman more than his equal, as all men do.

Look beyond the propaganda and demand the genocide stops
It must be so comforting for Israel’s despotic Likud leadership to know their globalist allies around the world are backing their Gaza genocide campaign to the hilt, pulling out all the stops to justify this fascist government’s repetition of the Nazi atrocities unleashed in WWII. Did the lessons of the Holocaust count for nothing?

Beyond the Birthdays
In the rich embroidery of American official history, the string old enough has woven itself into the story, with Joe Biden remaining as both a record-holder and an image of perseverance. As he moves toward his 81st birthday, the conversation around his age lights banters about the convergence of years lived and the capacity to lead. How many presidents have attained such a milestone?How many future presidents will attain this achievement?

A Victim of Ignorance and Greed
Most of my adult life, I have been a renter or a guest. As a child, I was not expected to contribute financially to my mother's rent or mortgage payments. However, after high school graduation, as an independent adult, I was expected to afford my own housing. That expectation is not unfair, but for over 30 years, I have witnessed and experienced many leases or contracts or rental agreements that have been unfair and according to American history, illegal.
