President Joe Biden announced today that the United States will be dropping food into Gaza. This follows a horrific massacre that was carried out by the IDF yesterday, which left at least 115 people dead.  While it has become abundantly clear to the rest of the world that there is nearly not enough food for the entire population, this has been the case for weeks! Bernie Sanders, among others, have been saying what is happening in Gaza right now is a “humanitarian catastrophe.” The sudden rush to airdrop food into the region is merely a political ploy by the Biden administration to counter the recent “uncommitted” protest in Michigan this week. While Joe Biden has been extremely pro-Israel during his presidency thus far, the pro-Palestinian sector of his party are forcing him to do as much as he can for the people of Palestine. This is proof that anyone who says that these protests are a waste of time, or that they can’t possibly make an impact, are wrong. In a Democracy, the people...

The horrors in Palestine continued today, as the people of Gaza suffered one of their worst days since October 7th. A large crowd, filled with children, were trying to take some of the limited amount of humanitarian aid that crosses the border in Northern Gaza. A desperate, starving population was trying to take flour home to their families. And by home, of course, I mean their tent, which is surrounded by thousands of other tents, in Rafah.  The Israeli army subsequently opened fire on this crowd, killing at least 112 people, along with injuring hundreds more. The Israel Defense Force admitted to this atrocity, adding that many of the victims were then run over by the trucks as they fled the Gaza strip. The “negotiations” that were taking place between Hamas, Israel, and the United States, have been officially postponed because of this incident. Israel has defended this massacre by arguing that it was a mob looting aid from the trucks. We must be living in an alternate reality. Wh...

The attack on free speech has been one of the main reasons why we have seen such drastic increases in division when it comes to American politics. It’s both amazing and tragic that an amendment that was passed 232 years ago is still at the forefront of political discourse. The lie that we the people fall for is that this war on free speech, and every other war we are fighting, is a battle between Republicans and Democrats. It’s nonsensical. To understand this war however, we must first discuss how people of a once fully democratic nation are losing their power and individual liberty. Now, I totally understand that Republicans are extremely frustrated with the overwhelming support of the Democratic Party by the media, big corporations, and education systems. However, these things come and go. That is the society we are living in right now, but those things fluctuate generation to generation. What does not fluctuate is the increasing power of the state, establishment, system, or whatever...

Both the Democratic and Republican Primaries were called instantaneously when polls closed earlier tonight at 9:00 PM Eastern. Trump and Biden were immediately projected as the winners of their respective races, but the margins in this race, especially in the Democratic party, can tell us a lot about the general election. As of 10:39 PM, with 30% of the votes being reported, Donald Trump is leading Nikki Haley by 40 points, which is just about what the polls were projecting over the weekend. With one of Haley’s top donors dropping out just before this primary, we can conclusively say her campaign is all but over. My guess is we don’t hear from Haley until she gives her exit speech. It will be interesting to see if she endorses Donald Trump during that speech, seeing that she has signaled to her voters that she does not care about the Republican party whatsoever, just by staying in this race without any results. I had theorized that she was staying in just in case Trump was somehow remo...

It has been amazing to see what kind of effect the war in Gaza has had on the American population. The Palestinian cause has never been more popular, as it has become one of the most protested causes in human history. The leaders of the Western world have been left tunned by their own populations, who have created some of the largest protests in human history. It is an unbelievable thing to see that, even when the media denounces you as a terrorist if you hold Pro-Palestinian views, the people do not care.  The Palestinian cause has always been seen as an exclusively left-leaning viewpoint, as it takes a stand against colonialism, siding with the oppressed population. However, unfathomably, there are factions of right-wing parties that have come around to also side with the Palestinians. Some people, believe it or not, do not like it when they hear 15,000 kids have been massacred in just a few months. Some people are just looking at it from a historical perspective, seeing that the...

Sweden’s 11th month process to join NATO finally came to an end. Hungary, being the only nation who had not yet accepted Sweden’s bid, voted in favor of Swedish accession. This is a clear demonstration of NATO expansionism, meant to continue piling the pressure on Putin. This comes on the same day that the Slovakian Prime Minister, Robert Fico, came out and openly stated that NATO is considering sending their own troops to fight in Ukraine. This has been rumored for about a month or so now, but it looks like it is finally coming into fruition. For all of the leaders and members of the media who claim that Putin is intending to conquer, not only Ukraine, but all of Europe, this certainly could fuel an escalation that was never necessary, or even on the table. I for one never believed that Putin would enter Poland. I don’t even think he ever had intentions of going past Eastern Ukraine. Why would he? He doesn’t want a war with the entire world, but I have no idea what a direct conflict w...
