In our ongoing look at American Independents, we’ve already explored who they are and how they’ve evolved over the decades. Today, let’s dig into where things stand now — and what might lie ahead.

This note explores the rich history of American independents—citizens and political leaders who have operated outside the traditional two-party system. From George Washington’s early warnings about political factions to modern voters rejecting partisan labels, independents have long shaped American democracy. The article highlights key moments, including third-party movements in the 19th century, high-profile independent campaigns like Theodore Roosevelt’s and Ross Perot’s, and the modern surge in independent identification. Despite systemic challenges, independents continue to influence elections, introduce new ideas, and represent a growing force in American politics.

Given that the United States declared its independence from Britain in 1776, the note emphasizes the Fourth of July's historical significance. It highlights that although the holiday is widely observed with fireworks and other celebrations, its actual significance is in upholding the principles of equality, freedom, and self-governance. While savoring the customs of the day, the post invites readers to consider the country's founding principles.

A gripping exploration of deception and betrayal lurking beneath the surface of a fractured society, where true enemies hide in plain sight and the fight for truth is more urgent than ever.

Selling arms to foreign countries isn't profiting our country. The president's waging war on a country, such as Iran, is of being to no benefit for the U.S. It hasn't been beneficial to us, in any way shape or form.

Humanity is greedy. We are greedy. Definition of greed. Cattle. Even dying costs money, when will we be set free?

This is the foreword for the stream. Comepletely free, I will introduce the ST:RD universe and its origins.

The blog explores the complex relationship between Iran and former U.S. President Donald Trump. It outlines the historical context of U.S.–Iran relations, focusing on Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA) and reimpose harsh sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure” campaign. The post covers key events that escalated tensions—like oil tanker attacks, the downing of a U.S. drone, and the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani. It also discusses the domestic and international reactions to Trump’s policies, the economic impact on Iran, and how the administration’s actions influenced global diplomacy and regional stability. The blog concludes by reflecting on Trump’s legacy and how his approach continues to shape U.S.–Iran relations today.

Hold onto your hats—President Trump is rewriting the rulebook in real time. Here's what you missed: Trump’s second term is shaking the nation with shocking moves—from airstrikes on Iran and appointing an unqualified 22-year-old as terror chief, to massive federal layoffs and historic rejection by the NAACP. His administration’s controversial reports and Project 2025’s sweeping agenda threaten to reshape America’s future. This isn’t just change—it’s a full-scale power grab. How far will it go before someone steps in?

The excuse to bomb Iran was to prevent the nuclear enrichment facility from being used for mass destruction. it's now destroyed, so pull out!

This subject looks at the high cost(s) of living, and a very simple solution to beating the problem.

Juneteenth wasn't born from hashtags or holiday sales. It was a blood-earned moment—made possible by rifles, risk, and a party most folks no longer recognize.

“Fascist” used to mean something specific. Now it’s flung like glitter in a food fight. What happens when the loudest voices don’t even know the definition?

This poem, "Neanderthals," is a thought-provoking reflection on humanity's relationship with the world and our impact on the environment. It explores the idea that humans have shaped the world through creativity, innovation, and destruction. The poem touches on themes of nature, art, technology, war, and the consequences of human actions. The speaker seems to lament the loss of connection with the natural world and the desensitization of humanity, ultimately questioning our values and future. The poem's tone is both celebratory of human achievement and critical of our destructive tendencies.

A forensic, fact-based look at the rising tension between generational trauma, public fear, and the racial blame game nobody wants to admit is rigged from all sides.
