World Reacts to Hamas’s Response to Trump’s Gaza Plan
# World Reacts to Hamas’s Response to Trump’s Gaza Plan The international community has been closely watching the unfolding dynamics in the Middle East following Hamas’s sharp response to former U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly outlined plan for Gaza. The idea, presented as part of a larger plan to bring stability to the region, has sparked strong reactions on multiple fronts, including condemnation, cautious support, and a lot of discussion about its viability and how it will affect relations between Israel and Palestine in the future. Trump’s Gaza plan, unveiled with significant fanfare, centers on a blend of reconstruction, demilitarization, and strict oversight. It calls for major international investment in rebuilding Gaza’s war-torn infrastructure, promises humanitarian aid, and proposes security guarantees for Israel. In exchange, Hamas would be required to disarm, renounce violence, and allow a transitional governing body under international supervision to administer the territory until elections could be held. The plan, according to Trump, offers Palestinians “a pathway to peace and prosperity” while ensuring Israel’s security interests remain paramount.

Ledger of the Seventy-Four Percent. Content Warning.
My rent goes up every year in December just in time for Christmas! This is not just about me. It is about all of us boomers that are not wealthy. Every month I pay 74 % of my check of 1216 to rent, now it went up $20. Every month there are thousands of seniors in the same situation. I am overdrawn at the bank now. Payday loans turn into four every month to survive. At the third of the month the ritual repeats like clockwork. The stress is too much at times. I have healthcare and mental health care here in California. How long will this last under the Rumpty Dumpty and Satan Miller adminstration? What will we do? I live this way every month. My art, videos, and music are survival tools. I was never wealthy! There are millions of other folks living paycheck to paycheck, old and young. I live one day at a time in this dystopian nightmare of corporate greed, bigotry, and billionaires who do not care. They will throw us to lions, but wait, we have been living with beasts in time and space 2025.

On the Brink:
A convergence of large-scale campaigns, risky military probes, growing authoritarian brinkmanship and eroding diplomatic backstops has created a volatile global landscape — and several flashpoints could cascade into a far larger war.

Cato vs Caesar: The False Dilemma of Modern Democracy
I write this article against the backdrop of today’s political turbulence, the rise of polarisation and extremism in the United States, where hate speech and even political assassination are no longer unthinkable. These events follow an already toxic atmosphere in Europe, with authoritarian tendencies, corruption, and populist rhetoric undermining democratic institutions. In this climate, the dilemmas faced by Rome on the eve of Caesar’s rise feel less like distant history and more like an urgent mirror for our own time.

Bread, Circuses, and the South Lawn
When Dana White and Donald Trump announced that UFC cage fights would be staged on the South Lawn of the White House during America’s 250th birthday in 2026, it sounded like parody. But it wasn’t satire. It was spectacle — and spectacle has a long history.

If Charlie Kirk was Black Republican
Ever since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, things have gone haywire. Half were saddened by this god awful tragedy, half were stunned, and the other half celebrated his death. After the assassination, Trump ordered that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff at the White House, on all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions, as a mark of respect for Kirk. The order remained in effect until sunset on September 14.
