– When the Obvious Becomes Political Theater Europe pretends Trump can sign a peace deal. He can’t, and everyone knows it.

A New Supreme Court Case Could Be the Nail in the Coffin When I wrote “ Democrats in Free Fall ,” I was convinced I had painted an accurate picture of just how dire their situation really was.

The numbers now show a historic crisis From a "right-wing tsunami" to full-blown collapse: The Democrats have lost their grip on the people, and the 2026 midterms could completely obliterate the party.

The most recognized image in Thailand was taken in a small Norwegian town. Millions of people in Thailand use the 100-baht banknote every day — to pay for noodles, grab a bus ride, or shop at a market. It’s one of the country’s most circulated bills, familiar to everyone. But almost no one outside Thailand knows where one of its central images was taken.

Many commentators still believe that the MAGA movement is a personality cult. They assume that once Donald Trump exits the political stage, the movement will dissolve with him. That assumption is not just naive – it’s fundamentally wrong. MAGA is not driven by loyalty to a man. It’s rooted in experiences and convictions that long predate Trump and will long outlast him.

You could safely say everything went to hell. What was supposed to be the best time of my life – apart from becoming a father – turned into three months of chaos, illness, and frustration. Now I’m sitting alone at a hostel in Singapore, trying to find some peace – quite literally breathing deeply, one breath at a time.

And We’re Completely Unprepared China is collapsing in real time. Workers are protesting. Students are dying. The economy is crumbling. And while all this is happening, Western media are still staring at Trump. No one’s covering it. No one’s talking about it. But we’re going to pay the price – for a long time.

Silence doesn’t mean I’m done! A few days ago, I was sitting sleepless on the couch at seven in the morning, exhausted and in a hell of pain after struggling through a day I’d rather forget.

A Conspiracy, Myth, or Reality? Is Deep State a Political Myth or a Real Power Player? The term is used by both critics and supporters—but what does it really mean?

Don’t Be So Easily Fooled Welcome to Conspiracy Theories & Debunking I can handle the truth—can you? Critical thinking is in short supply, but here you’ll get honest answers. What’s nonsense, and what’s actually true? Let’s find out.

People Are Fed Up with Woke and Climate Politics People want stability, not experiments. The radical left’s ideas on gender, climate, and open borders have had their time in the spotlight. Now, voters are shifting hard to the right to restore order.

- Or Does He Just Not Know Better? Trump claims a lot about Zelenskyy, but where’s the evidence? I started digging myself.

Yet We Fear the Natural Amount of Vitamin D In early February 2025, a bizarre food scandal rocked Norway—what locals dubbed "the egg scandal." A major agricultural supplier accidentally delivered feed laced with extreme levels of vitamin D to chickens and pigs in a central region of the country. The result? Eggs containing up to 300 micrograms (12,000 IU) of vitamin D each—enough to send food safety authorities into a tailspin.

When Trump negotiates, there’s no soft diplomatic fluff—just a deal you’ve got to accept. (Image generated by Grok, created by xAI.)A possibility no one wants to talk about! NATO is trembling, the EU is protesting, and the media is raging. What happens when Trump decides to restructure the world order—without asking Europe first?

Women in the U.S. Choose Sterilization In the wake of Donald Trump’s political influence, a trend has emerged among certain left-leaning women who are choosing sterilization as a reaction to fears of restrictions on reproductive rights. This development is tied to a deeply personal fear of what future political changes could mean for women’s rights, particularly concerning abortion and contraception. At the same time, the debate is far more nuanced than headlines often suggest.

We are facing a wave of mental disorders and desperate actions. The lies we believed in are unraveling at an accelerating pace. But truth doesn’t come without consequences. We are entering an era where many will experience an identity crisis so profound that they cannot carry on. How do we confront this—or is it already too late?

Sweden: A Society in Denial Amid a Wave of Violence The mass killing that should have shaken Sweden was met with evasive language and passivity. What do the authorities fear most – the truth or the reactions?

Must we accept a world with fewer people, or are there solutions? We are in the midst of a historic demographic shift. Birth rates are plunging, and many countries are already feeling the consequences. At the same time, we see a clear pattern: people in major cities are increasingly struggling with high living costs, cramped housing, and stressful work environments. These burdens make it even harder to have children, accelerating the already declining population growth.

The Game Trump Understands While the world mocked Donald Trump’s bold statements about buying Greenland and challenging Panama’s control over the Panama Canal, he walked away with tangible results in Canada, Mexico, and Panama. His method – often described as chaotic and unpredictable – has proven remarkably effective. In record time, he pressured superpowers to adjust their policies, neighbors to alter their trade agreements, and an entire global order to tremble at its foundations.

How Rural Areas Might Be the Answer to Urban Collapse We are in the midst of a demographic crisis whose scope many still fail to grasp. Birth rates are plummeting dramatically in most industrialized nations, particularly in urban areas. At the same time, major cities rely on complex systems to maintain their lifestyles—systems that may falter as populations age and shrink.

Here’s why people are getting sick and tired of the entire LGBTQ+ debate Thought we were done with ridiculous controversies and that everything would just revolve around Trump? Think again. Now, the Science Museum in London has decided that Lego bricks are an example of “heteronormative language” – and therefore a potential problem for LGBTQ+ inclusion. Yes, you read that right.

Trump’s Brilliant Kindergarten Politics in the Middle East For over 30 years, I’ve joked about the idea of turning Gaza into the world’s largest amusement park. A Mediterranean paradise with luxury hotels, water slides, and a gigantic water park. A bit of satire, a bit of daydreaming. And then Donald Trump comes along and says pretty much the same thing—but with his usual serious face. The result? The world loses its mind.

An Unwanted Orgasm at the Dentist We live in an era where people don’t just carry their phones in their pockets—they also carry sex toys inside them, strategically placed and ready to deliver pleasure at the push of a discreet button. A little excitement in everyday life, they say. A bit of spice on a dull workday. Maybe even a special reward during a long meeting.

The Billions That Never Reach the Poor  The Trump administration has halted billions in aid and put USAID under scrutiny. The claim? That the organization is a pawn in a global game of economic control, corruption, and covert influence. If this is true, we may be on the verge of one of the biggest revelations ever.
