  • What’s the real reason behind Trump’s annexation agenda?
    Jan 29 2025
    Now that he is President Donald Trump again, there is still talk about immigration, cabinet confirmations and the economy. But there are a myriad of questions about another focus of the president: What’s been dubbed his “Annexation Agenda.” Trump, in the past, criticized U.S. military involvement in other countries, but he did a complete turnaround in recent weeks, pushing the idea that he wants to take over Greenland from Denmark, reclaim the Panama Canal and make Canada the 51st state. And he didn’t rule out the use of military force to do so.

  • President-elect Trump’s politically charged Day One agenda
    Jan 14 2025
    Inauguration Day is Jan. 20. President-elect Donald Trump and his team made a series of promises that would happen if he were to win the election. No one will argue that 2025 got off to a turbulent start. It leaves the president-elect having to confront a difficult opening to the 2nd Trump presidency. As one analyst put it, he’ll be “confronting the kinds of crises he has long been railing against.” You’ve got the driver plowing a truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans. The detonation of a Tesla Cybertruck in front of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. Oh, and the breach of the U.S. Treasury Department. That was a major cybersecurity incident at the hands of what’s believed to be Chinese state-sponsored hackers.

  • If 2024 was a year of political disruption, will 2025 be a year of political reformation?
    Jan 6 2025
    The future has a history. And while we can’t see into the future, looking into our past can prove powerful. That said, there are two quotes that come to mind. Let’s start with George Bernard Shaw (quoting German philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel): “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.” Politically, 2024 had me and many others, quite frankly, taken aback. It was a year that saw President Joe Biden drop his re-election bid after being forced out by top leaders of his own party. Vice President Kamala Harris swept in as the party’s nominee and stood her own in a debate with former President Donald Trump.
