Washington, D.C. — July 28, 2025 -- In a stark indicator of public frustration, the Democratic Party’s favorability rating has fallen to just 33%—its lowest level in 35 years of polling—while 63% of Americans now view the party unfavorably (Anzalone & Fabrizio, 2025). This decline comes as voters express growing concern that both elected leaders and the electorate have failed to check the rise of authoritarianism in U.S....

Why Society Lets Ageism Run Wild July 22, 2025, 19:00 If you think society has a problem with Millennials and Zoomers, just wait until you see how openly ageism is dished out to anyone over 55. While the younger generations get memes, think pieces, and endless debates about their “problems,” the 55-plus crowd gets straight-up open season — and nobody bats an eye....

I am a writer—at least, I once was. With my mother’s assistance, I composed my first "book" in eighth grade. I dictated a story focused on atomic bombs, nuclear weapons, and the Strategic Air Command (SAC), while she typed—a considerable undertaking. This project was meant for my science teacher, Mr. Pershell, who was sufficiently impressed to award me an A. That grade felt like a crucial reinforcement, lifting me from a difficult period characterized by the monotonous assignments that burdened my education....

If you don’t pay people for the work they do, why the hell do you think they should keep doing it? This ongoing abuse of labor is especially glaring in the world of social media and independent news outlets. Creators pour their time, energy, and creativity into projects, only to receive a pat on the back or, worse, nothing at all....

Introduction: The Rise of the Trump-Musk Empire In the current landscape of global politics, the influence of powerful individuals can often overshadow democratic processes and the well-being of citizens. As citizens of neighboring nations such as Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Panama, Denmark, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, and France, we are faced with a growing concern regarding the actions and policies spearheaded by the Trump-Musk coalition in the United States....

July 4th should be about freedom, but right now, America is fighting a damn cancer — and it’s not just an American problem. When the world’s biggest economy and military power falls apart, the shockwaves hit everywhere. Including Europe. Look, I’m an ex-pat watching this disaster from the Philippines, but it’s clear: when the US stumbles, Europe stumbles harder. The Netherlands, France, Germany — your economies and lives depend on what happens in America (Smith, 2023)....

The Hidden Forces of Toxic Masculinity and Wealth In America, a small group of wealthy individuals exerts power over the government. This group thrives in Congress. As of October 2023, about 50% of Congress members are millionaires. Among them, around 140 Democrats are millionaires. This statistic reflects the growing presence of affluent individuals in politics. Additionally, there are at least ten billionaires in Congress....

By Dr. Potts Let’s not mince words: the United States has officially jumped the shark. We actually re-elected Donald Trump in November 2024—by a razor-thin 1.5% majority—and handed him the keys again on January 20, 2025. Ever since, he’s been stoking chaos like it’s his personal brand of governance. And who got him there? The red-hatted MAGA cult that spent years screeching about “law and order” while cheering for a man who openly threatens to use the U.S....

Analyzing the Preamble of the Declaration of Independence in the Context of Contemporary America The Preamble to the Declaration of Independence is not only a foundational text in American history, but it also encapsulates the revolutionary ideals of individual rights, government responsibility, and the principles of justice that continue to resonate in modern society. As we reflect on the Preamble's key ideas, it is critical to consider their relevance in light of current events in the United States, particularly under the leadership of the 47th President....

The Streaming Rent Trap and Platform Bu****it That Needs to End We were promised that streaming would kill cable’s iron grip and liberate culture. Instead, corporate greed simply rebranded itself as “convenience,” locking us into a vicious cycle of endless digital rent. At the heart of this rent-seeking nightmare sits Disney—the empire that owns everything and rents us back our own memories....
