What I Would Do if I Were President
Not That I Plan on That
"I'm no leader. I do what I have to do. Sometimes, people come with me." —Edgar Friendly, from the movie Demolition Man
There is more to this quote from one of my all-time favourite films, but it is rather beside the point and has a curse word. But it does pretty much describe me as a leader.
I mean, you think Obama had it easy despite all the crap that he put up with? I am not talking about the racism and intolerance towards him and his supporters like yours truly, or even the crap the politicians gave him. I am talking about the duties that were expected of him.
The economics, politics, and all the other crap that would get thrown my way, I would probably be the first president to die in office from alcohol poison.
Putting that aside, I, of course, have many ideas for what I would do if I had somehow become president.
Abolish the Electoral College
You knew I was going to say this, weren't you?
These morons royally screwed up not once by letting Bush Jr. into the White House, but twice with who the American people wanted as a leader.
They had a chance to prevent scum like Trump from entering the White House, but no, they had to give him his victory instead of Hilary Clinton, the rightful President of the United States.
They failed the country and therefore to avoid more such mistakes again I would have such a useless group abolished.
End the War on Drugs
This racist endeavour was established by Nixon in the 1970s and has unlawfully detained many people, some of who which need medical marijuana for that purpose. Not to mention that it has given law enforcement an excuse to unlawful to enter a person's house without a warrant.
Disband the ICE and Border Patrol
llegally deporting citizens who have been here for a long time, sexually assaulting the children who are being illegally detained and just recently firing tear gas at the oncoming caravan of immigrants.
They need to answer to these charges and they should be charged with terrorism. The families need to be reunited and the immigrants allowed in.
As for the border itself, it needs to be dissolved.
Fine corporations heavily if they try to ship jobs overseas.
Immigrants don't steal jobs, people like the Kock Brothers and Donald Trump steal jobs.
If corporations were to ship jobs overseas on my watch, I would have them fined so much, they might as well keep the jobs here.
Raise Taxes on the Rich
Before I do that I would make Wall Street pay for causing the financial crisis of 2008. Then I would raise taxes on their slimy hides.
Overturn Citizens United
The Supreme Court overstepped its boundaries in 2010 when they decided that corporations are people. Unlimited contributions to politicians that these parasites mean further corruption in politics.
Abolish Creationist Vouchers in Schools
Too many people in the country have such a problem with evolution being taught in public schools, that they would stoop as low as to have Creationism taught.
Not going to happen on my watch. Schools will teach science and philosophy. The next generation needs to think for themselves before they can be adults.
Stronger Gun Laws
What else can I say? I hate school shootings.
Zero Tolerance on White Privilege in the Legal System
The fact that the law is too selfish or stupid to end this sort thing is what really baffles me. Why is it so hard to criminalize white people that commit horrible crimes like the Affluential Teen but when it comes to people like Michael Brown they are gunned down like dogs?
This needs to stop. The blue wall of silence needs to be torn down and any judge who protects a white person, no matter how privileged are, will do the time with them.
Conclusion
This country has far too many problems even before the Orange Fuhrer illegally entered the White House. I can't state them all, but you probably know what they are anyway.

Iraq to Nationalise West Qurna 2 Oilfield Operations, Government Says
Iraq is making headlines this week with a bold decision: the government has announced plans to nationalise operations at the West Qurna 2 oilfield, one of the largest and most vital oil assets in the country. This step comes amid geopolitical tensions, economic uncertainty, and concerns about the stability of oil production. For a nation where oil revenues fund everything from public salaries to infrastructure, keeping West Qurna 2 running smoothly is critical. But what does this move really mean — and why now? West Qurna 2: Iraq’s Oil Powerhouse West Qurna 2 isn’t just another oilfield. Located near Basra in southern Iraq, it produces between 465,000 and 480,000 barrels per day — roughly 9% of Iraq’s total output and about 0.5% of global supply. That makes it strategically vital. Any disruption in production could have ripple effects on Iraq’s economy and even global oil markets. Historically, the Russian giant Lukoil has managed the field, holding a 75% stake under a service contract. But recent developments forced Baghdad to reconsider this arrangement. Why Iraq Is Taking Control Now The catalyst? Sanctions on Lukoil over Russia’s actions in Ukraine. In late 2025, Lukoil declared force majeure, citing sanctions that prevented it from fulfilling contractual obligations. That raised alarms in Baghdad. If Lukoil couldn’t operate normally, Iraq risked losing vital oil production. The solution? Bring operations under state control through the Basra Oil Company (BOC), the government’s own oil management firm. For now, this nationalisation is temporary — planned for about 12 months — giving Iraq time to maintain production while exploring future ownership solutions. How Iraq Plans to Keep Production Running According to officials, BOC will handle day-to-day operations, from paying staff to covering operating costs. Revenue from other major oilfields, like Majnoon, will help fund operations at West Qurna 2. The government assures that production remains steady at pre-nationalisation levels, a key point for Iraq’s economy and its commitments to OPEC. Maintaining output stability also signals to international markets that Iraq is managing the transition carefully. The Geopolitical Context Nationalising West Qurna 2 cannot be separated from global politics. Sanctions against Russian companies disrupted Lukoil’s ability to operate, forcing Iraq to act. By taking control, Iraq safeguards its energy security and reduces dependence on foreign companies that may be vulnerable to political pressure or sanctions. It’s a clear example of how geopolitics can directly affect energy production. What Comes Next? Potential Buyers and Partnerships Although Iraq has nationalised operations temporarily, it’s not shutting the door to foreign investment. Reports suggest interest from major players like ExxonMobil and Chevron, as well as private equity firms, to acquire Lukoil’s stake in the long term. This creates a balancing act: Iraq wants the technical expertise and investment that foreign companies can bring, while also asserting sovereign control over one of its most important resources. Global Implications For the world, Iraq’s move is significant. West Qurna 2 contributes nearly half a million barrels of oil per day to the global market. Keeping production stable protects not just Iraq’s economy, but also global energy prices. At the same time, the episode highlights how international sanctions and politics can have unintended consequences, forcing nations to make tough decisions to maintain essential operations. A Strategic Assertion of Control Ultimately, Iraq’s nationalisation of West Qurna 2 is about more than oil. It’s about energy security, national sovereignty, and strategic autonomy. Whether the takeover remains temporary or evolves into a longer-term model involving foreign partners, it underscores a larger truth: oil is not just a commodity in Iraq — it’s a matter of national security. For investors, governments, and energy watchers, the West Qurna 2 story is a reminder of how interconnected geopolitics, sanctions, and energy markets have become. Key Takeaways: Iraq has nationalised West Qurna 2 operations due to Lukoil’s sanctions-related operational issues. The move is temporary, allowing state control while exploring future ownership. Production is being maintained through the Basra Oil Company and revenue from other oilfields. The decision reflects a mix of economic necessity, geopolitical pressure, and strategic sovereignty. Global oil markets are watching closely, as disruptions could affect supply and prices.
