IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Project 2025

Project 2025, a frightening political agenda and extremist plan, is being
crafted by conservatives in anticipation of a potential 2024 Republican
Presidential victory, with the guidance of the Heritage Foundation. Project
2025's main objective is to fortify presidential power so if Trump wins the
election, he can single-handedly impose right-wing policies on the nation.

Eurovision 2024 Song Contest

Get ready for the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest, just a few weeks away. While
Israel’s initial song was disqualified for being too political, their second
entry has also been painstakingly scrutinized despite many of the songs in the
competition carrying similar hidden political messages.

U.S. Senate Seats up for Reelection

The outcome of the 2022 midterm elections has had wide-ranging consequences. One
or two senators can make a significant difference on some extremely
crucial issues, especially if the party control of the Senate is close. It's
never too early for reelection vision time. The time to start organizing is now.

Current Members of the U.S. House of Representatives

Overall, the electorate delivered a warning against going too far, against
extremes, but we're likely headed for a messy, partisan two years. If we’ve
learned anything from the 2022 elections, it’s that political complacency is no
longer an option. And to effect change, there is no need to look any further
than your own legislative backyards. 

Governors up for Reelection

A majority of governors have the authority to appoint state court judges, so
your vote for Governor is as important as your vote for President. The 2022
elections were proof that in politics, it's never too early to start planning.

Election Officials in the Top 30 Most Populous U.S. Counties

With an average of only one in five voters participating in local elections,
voting results are easily swayed by just one vote. Voting in local elections has
never been more critical. Know who your local officials are, and vote based on
your conscience and beliefs rather than your party.

Secretaries of State: A State-by-State Breakdown

Current and future secretaries of state have three choices: Continue to deny
that Trump lost in 2020, fuel doubt about future elections, or defend and
protect our election system. A once under-the-radar government position, races
for secretaries of state gained national attention in the 2022 elections. Who is
in control of your state elections?

Mayors of the 30 Largest Cities in the U.S.

The person you elect as mayor affects your day-to-day life more than the
politicians you send to Washington, D.C., yet turnout is meager in mayoral
races. Despite their importance, the turnout of eligible voters for elections in
10 of America’s 30 largest cities between 2011 and 2015 was less than 15
percent. Vote for your mayor like it’s a matter of life and death on the streets
of America’s cities because it is.  

Pro-Palestinian Protestors Are Being Paid to Protest

According to the Toronto Sun, what many have suspected has now been confirmed:
Pro-Palestinian protestors are being paid to protest and proudly follow their
organizers’ lead. Those organizers wear uniforms to identify themselves and dole
out thousands of dollars in cash in order to control and manage the
protestors.  

The Biggest Stories of 2023

The world was in turmoil in 2023, rife with stomach-churning news, with the
international and U.S. press primarily focused on the same news stories. It
seems that the world has never been more interconnected.

Whispered in Gaza

In an unprecedented series of animated videos drawn from interviews of
Palestinians in Gaza by the New York-based Center for Peace Communications
(CPC), ordinary Gazans are breaking their silence about the brutality of Hamas
against them. Every story told is heart-wrenching but allows them to freely tell
the world how they feel about Hamas without fear of deadly retribution.     

They Met at Eight Years Old, Married, and Died Together in a Ukrainian Trench

The way to tell a long story is to start with a short story: Taras and Olha
Melster lived, loved, and died far too young in the name of Ukrainian freedom.
They had no military experience. They were just two married people in love
who couldn’t bear to be apart.

Detention, Torture and Killing of Afghan Women Continues

Many aid organizations withdrew their funding to Afghanistan after the
Taliban implemented several regressive policies on Afghan women's human rights
in the final months of 2022. The withdrawal of international aid from the
country stands to harm the most vulnerable part of Afghanistan's population:
women and girls.

Iranian Footballer Amir Nasr-Azadani Could Face Execution

According to reports, Amir Nasr-Azadani, A soccer player from Iran, may face

Over 29,894 children have been killed in Syria since March 2011, including 182
children who died due to torture. A total of 2,046 were killed by Russian
forces, and Russian attacks have caused damage to over 220 schools since the
start of Russia’s “military intervention” in Syria.

Why Do So Many Elderly Run America?

Why do Americans keep electing leaders who are so old? Maybe it’s because voters
over 65 go to the polls more often than young voters do, and voters typically
prefer candidates who are closest to themselves in age.

Could Putin Be Vulnerable to a Coup?

Could Putin be vulnerable to a coup or uprising? All of the grievances that
traditionally motivate a coup against a dictator are in place. The decision to
mobilize reservists and the ensuing domestic unrest points to Putin’s weakness.
Western sanctions and military support for Ukraine are key to preventing a
Russian victory. And a range of prominent and well-known Russians have started
calling for the removal of the country’s head of state as the invasion of
Ukraine is increasingly turning into a disaster. But would a Putin coup solve
anything?

Should U.S. Flight Attendants Be Paid During Boarding?

The majority of U.S. airlines don’t pay their flight attendants until the
airplane door closes, even though plane boarding is one of the most stressful
parts of their job.

What Are Russian State Media Saying About Ukraine?

Top Russian headlines are focused on a possible Ukrainian invasion of Donbas and
“Western” warmongering.

Ex-Kabul MP Shukria Barakzai Lashes Out At Pakistan For Supporting 'Taliban
Barbarism'

Speaking about the current situation in Afghanistan, Shukria Barakzai said that
many people have come to Kabul believing that the capital will not be captured.
This should send a strong message to the Taliban that people don't want to live
under their control, she said. 

Ruth Pearl, Mother of Slain Journalist Daniel Pearl, Dies at 85

After their son was kidnapped and murdered by Al Qaeda extremists while
reporting in Pakistan in 2002, Pearl and her husband Judea worked feverishly to
extract good from their son’s violent death.

Peace is possible Through a Palestine-Israel Confederation

Josef Avesar has proved one thing with his experimental Israeli Palestinian
Confederation (IPC) plan, which he came up with several years ago: If you leave
it up to the people, and remove the politicians, the chances of achieving peace
will be so much greater.

24% from the previous year, the website WalletHub released its report on the
States with the biggest drug problems.

 

What’s Behind the Growth Slump? Takeaways from Census Data

The U.S. population is growing more slowly, and it continues its 80-year-long
trend of shifting to the South and the West. Montana, Florida, and North
Carolina each saw enough growth to add one congressional seat, while booming
Texas gained two. Colorado and Oregon also gained new seats, while Michigan, New
York, and Pennsylvania lost seats.

theory is exactly what fueled Nazi Germany.

Timeline: DC Capitol Riot - January 6, 2021

Timeline: How a Trump mob stormed the US Capitol, forcing Washington into
lockdown.

World Headlines: Capitol Siege by MAGA Mob

white insurrectionists stormed the U.S. Capitol, proudly displayed the
confederate flag, and set up gallows on the Capitol grounds.

The Marijuana Industry's Dirty Little Secret

Cannabis cultivation is a 24-hour business—the lights stay on, no matter what.
While most businesses and residences power down at night, cannabis facilities
remain active, putting pressure on energy grids, generating $6 billion in energy
costs each year, and uses about 10x more power per square foot than a standard
office building.

A Personal Account of Hawaii's False Missile Alert

The warning read, "BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT INBOUND TO HAWAII. SEEK IMMEDIATE
SHELTER. THIS IS NOT A DRILL." The Hawaii false missile alert was issued via the
Emergency Alert System and Commercial Mobile Alert System over television,
