“An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.” Sun Tzu Anywhere we see corruption, violence and a disregard for freedom and human life, we see what Sun Tzu was talking about— men who rule over the ashes. It certainly feels like these men have dominated the headlinesContinue reading “Ruling Over the Ashes”

Iranians Fight for Freedom
By: Gabriela Yareliz The fight for freedom. It’s a fight that will never get old. A fight worth engaging in. It’s the deep craving of the soul. Iran went dark days ago. The only footage that has been released was thanks to Starlink. Eyes are on Iran, and many here, especially the large Iranian populationContinue reading “Iranians Fight for Freedom”
A Historic Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz I think we all woke up knowing the world was shifting right beneath our feet. I woke up to the headline below, and clicked into it wondering if this was real. (A sort of déjà vu for Latin America and those who know its history). Mandoka, a Venezuelan cookbook author based outContinue reading “A Historic Day”
This Week’s Update
By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were, J and me, memorizing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj for our law school clinic’s talent show/ karaoke night in this tiny basement establishment in Greenwich Village. I can still rap parts of it. This week, I was heartened to see the greatest female rapper of our time address theContinue reading “This Week’s Update”
“A Culture in Turmoil”
“Charlie Kirk was a human being. He was a dad and a father. His wife is now a widow. His two children, because of how young they are, will not have a personal memory of their dad. That’s been stolen from them by someone who thought they had the right to kill another human being.Continue reading ““A Culture in Turmoil””

This year, I have begun the year here giving a small window into my thoughts. I think about a lot of random things all the time. IContinue reading “Revelation”
Theater
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn It’s a liar’s world. People look around and wonder what and who they can trust. It’s hard to know what you can believe. Even the smartest can be deceived. Things are twisted and pulled outContinue reading “Theater”
October 2024 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz October started with a desperate scramble for relief for those who survived Hurricane Helene. I was gathering resources to share. MANNA Food Bank and Samaritan’s Purse were my favorite on-the-ground helpers. People in the affected regions still need our help. We watched the Vice President debate and thought Vance was Jim Halpert-ingContinue reading “October 2024 Favorites”
Unity
RFK Jr. addressed the nation today. Media is already not reporting accurately, so please watch it for yourself here on Rumble. I watched live, and some of the headlines are laughable. Other networks literally muted him as he spoke about censorship. You can’t make this up. It was a moving speech. An important speech. AsContinue reading “Unity”
Collective
By: Gabriela Yareliz The events of the past few months– actually days– need to be acknowledged. Every day, we collectively live out history. Listen, I tried to get something at the bank today and couldn’t because of the Microsoft system meltdown. People can’t get out of Milwaukee because of grounded flights. Every day is aContinue reading “Collective”
