When Tragedy Becomes Political Currency: The Danger of Exploiting Crisis for Policy Gain

The assassination attempt on President Trump’s life on Saturday is being viewed by some as staged, not necessarily because of evidence, but because of how quickly certain politicians turned the tragedy into a political talking point. By using such a grave event to argue for the approval of President Trump’s ballroom, they helped fuel public suspicion and social media speculation. […]

The United Nations and Its Security Council Are Becoming Irrelevant

The United Nations and its Security Council are becoming irrelevant today. Not because the idea has failed, but because its members have. They violate their own treaties, ignore their own agreements, and then pretend that the rules still bind others. This is the danger—when powerful states act without restraint, they set precedents that weaken the very system meant to hold […]

FOOLING AMERICANS ON APRIL FOOLS’ DAY TRUMP’S APRIL FOOLS’ DAY: SPEECH ON THE IRAN WAR

In this commentary, we share Donald Trump’s address to Americans on April Fools’ Day—a speech that felt less like leadership and more like theater. Trump attempted to justify the war using clichés, hypothetical fears, and ideology wrapped in familiar half-truths. It was All Fools’ Day, after all, and he seemed intent on playing the American public—recycling epithets that have grown […]

Fear Not 2.0 — You Might Be ‘More Protester’ than You Think

You know me well enough to identify me as “a protester.” I get the most notice for the civil disobedience arrests. But there‘s a host of other marches, rallies, boycotts, sit-ins, strikes, ‘No Kings’ protests, and even political theater. I see protest as a citizen‘s responsibility — as basic as voting (and I never miss an election, even when unexcited […]

The Real American Crisis is not Merely Political—it is Moral

On the contrary, the real American crisis is not merely political—it is moral. We are confronted with a President whose character appears fractured, whose words and actions often stand in contradiction. It is not enough to say, as Republican strategist Stuart Stevens suggests, that “an entire political movement chose him.” That may be true, but it does not absolve the […]

This is How You Drain the Swamp

Y’all, listen up. The people we elect—from City Council to the Mayor’s Office—hold the ultimate structure of power in our communities. And here’s the problem: they appoint their stooges as gatekeepers, controlling access to that power. That’s why so many communities, especially foundational Black American communities, never see real results. Let me break it down. People always say “chase the money,” but that’s a false […]

A War Without Allies, Trump Struggles to Garner NATO Support

The United States is finding itself increasingly isolated as the conflict with Iran deepens. Key allies in Europe and elsewhere have shown little appetite for endorsing or joining Washington’s military course, and European officials have publicly stressed diplomacy over escalation. Reuters reported on March 17, 2026 that EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas called for a diplomatic solution around the […]

US Pressure on Cuba Is Harming Jamaica and the Caribbean Health Sector

According to the Jamaica Gleaner, Jamaica is ending its longstanding medical cooperation arrangement with Cuba, a move that is already creating uncertainty, delays, and concern within the health sector. Jamaica’s government has said the two sides could not agree on new terms and also pointed to labour and legal concerns in the existing arrangement. At the same time, the broader […]
