There is more than meets the eye in El Salvador.
Pacific Ocean beaches, volcanoes, coffee farms, Mayan Ruins. There is more than meets the eye with El Salvador. Human rights violations, U.S. deportations, Venezuelans, "the world's coolest dictator," and an American King. Typically, when you search online for a Central American country, you get a bunch of images of beautiful beaches, jungles, and travel options. Right now, you get a bunch of political news stories about jails in El Salvador and where our self-declared king is threatening to send people. The new relationship between the United States and El Salvador marks a turning point in our history. This isn't just about jails and immigration policies. This is a clear indication of the direction we are headed in. We aren’t sailing into a storm. We're already in one, and we're hanging on for dear life.

Trump, Imran Khan, and the Military: Pakistan’s Political Deadlock
When addressing Congress, President Trump thanked the government of Pakistan for assisting in the capture of an individual allegedly responsible for a bomb attack during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. This statement has sparked debate, particularly within Pakistani social circles. Many believed that once Mr. Trump returned to office, he would take steps to promote democracy. However, these hopes were shattered when he acknowledged the efforts of Pakistan’s current government — a government that, according to a lot of visible evidence, stole the people’s mandate in the general elections of February 8, 2024.

The Blatant Disrespect of a Baseball Legend
Just a fair warning that I'm going to go on a bit of a rant. Recently, I ran into a story online that I wanted to talk about. As a baseball fan, I couldn't let what I'm about to say go. It was about an article mentioning the late, great Jackie Robinson's time in the Army deleted from the Department of Defense's website. In case you're not up to speed about what's behind this, President Trump signed an executive order to purge DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs from the U.S. Government. This was one of his campaign promises. That means erasing any mention of Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ figures who came before us. When asked for the reason behind this move, Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot stated it was done to stop what he called "Woke cultural Marxism." The Pentagon claimed that everyone at the Defense Department respected Jackie Robinson, which I didn't buy one bit. If they truly respected him, the article about him serving in the Army wouldn't have been deleted. This was 100% a racially motivated move on their part.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness
Public Service Loan Forgiveness. A program that every public school teacher should apply for and have their student loans forgiven, especially educators who work at a Title 1 schools (80% of the school’s student population derives from low-income families). The Biden Administration began a program to make this a reality for many educators and student loan borrowers. Our current administration revoked it and released a new executive order regarding loan forgiveness (see below for the executive order).

Trump Administration Pushes Forward with Deportation Flights Regardless of Judge's Stay
Buckle up, folks—things are heating up in Washington! Attorney General Pam Bondi just had a gasket blow on Fox News, saying the Trump administration is full steam ahead with deportation flights for illegal Venezuelan immigrants, regardless of a federal judge ordering them to put on the brakes. "Absolutely," she said on "Jesse Watters Primetime" Monday night, guest-hosted by Jeanine Pirro. Bondi’s not backing down, and neither is Team Trump, as they lean hard into a 200-year-old law to kick out nearly 300 people they’re calling “foreign terrorists.” Let’s unpack this wild ride!

Beyond the Two-Party Failure: Part I
For decades, Americans have been trapped in a political system that serves the interests of parties, corporations, and career politicians rather than the people. Every election cycle, we hear the same promises—economic reform, healthcare solutions, political accountability—only to watch those pledges dissolve into partisan gridlock, corporate handouts, and culture war distractions.
