By: Gabriela Yareliz The news coming out of Ceuta, Spain is disturbing and eerily similar to scenes the U.S. border experienced in the past presidential administration. Borders overrun— and not by women and children or even families— no, by military age men. I have seen videos of local women crying and displaying an emotion thatContinue reading “The Games Men Play”

The Massie-Khanna Alliance
What Bobby said. Listen, it’s my philosophy that you know a politician has integrity when both parties hate him/her while he/she keeps pushing accountability. I am a fan of the bipartisan effort and work propelled forward by Rep. Thomas Massie and Rep. Ro Khanna. They seem to be the real deal. May they see allContinue reading “The Massie-Khanna Alliance”

By: Gabriela Yareliz The political games that were (and are) played. You can gain insight into a lot more than just Steve Bannon by diving into the files.

Ruling Over the Ashes
“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.

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 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””

By: Gabriela Yareliz “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust The quote above was Karl Marx’s favorite quote. Stay with me. This may feel random. 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”
