How Money Affects Sports: Understanding Global Capitalism
As the world changed, the various nations became more interconnected and open to the world market. In its commotion, globalization was crucial to the emergence of a capitalist market. Many people see global capitalism as a free and linked economic system that fosters innovation, eases cross-cultural interactions, generates employment in developing countries, and provides consumers with reasonably priced goods. The popularity of globally renowned sports celebrities, commercial enterprises, and global communication media all had an impact on the 20th century's globalization of modern sport. Through sponsorships, endorsements, and broadcasting, businesses can reach a worldwide consumer base. In this piece, I'll examine how globalization, capitalism, and sports history relate to competitive sports.

Călin Georgescu: Messiah, Puppet, or Convenient Scapegoat?
The fine art of political character assassination. It seems Călin Georgescu has graduated from candidate to caricature in record time. The critique above overflowing with accusations, conjectures, and a pinch of paranoia paints him as everything from his wife’s puppet to a relic of Cold War diplomacy. How delightfully convoluted. Let’s unpack this masterpiece of projection and pot-shots with the sarcasm and wit it so richly deserves.

Republicans, Can You Really Trust Trump?. Content Warning.
The 2024 Election: A Campaign of Misinformation The 2024 U.S. presidential election has shown us just how far some candidates and influencers will go to manipulate the truth. President-elect Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk have used their platforms and influence to spread blatant lies and misleading information to the public. Trump’s campaign, fueled by fabricated claims, and Musk’s actions on X (formerly Twitter) to amplify and promote disinformation, have turned this election into a circus of deceit and made it harder for voters to distinguish truth from fiction. They won this election on a campaign of deception, plain and simple.

For All of Us Political Orphans
I have a cousin who is gay and left-wing. After listening to a political debate he dared to say aloud that the right-wing candidate had some intelligent sounding, financial propositions. He was cancelled by the gay community he belonged to because they stated that by agreeing with anything anyone on the right said he was anti-gay.

Election Day 2024
There are so many things I should have said but didn’t. I am not the type of person who says too much or says things I regret without thinking. On the contrary, I am far too quiet. In my case, I need to speak up more. There are many times I hold my tongue. In fact, I did it today, election day 2024.

Why I'm Mad at You. Content Warning.
I. More Than Politics—A Question of Values The morning after the election, I stared blankly at the news updates on my phone: Donald J. Trump would be the next President of the United States. I didn't just feel disappointment, I felt fear, anger, and disbelief.

"UNIQUE HUMANS". Content Warning.
I created this article and art to finalize my story writing regarding the results of the 2024 election. I am having a GRIM time wrapping my head around the masses of people who voted for authoritarian rule. I AM NOT GOING BACK! I must shout it out! This is the 21st century and the far-right wealthy people and over half of America voted to live under authoritarian rule. If I were wealthy, I would still be an empath, humanatarian, and caring person, not a rich fool that wants to dictate to the world. In my opinion' anyone who wants to dictate over others is a very weak human. A dictator has mental issues, low self-esteem, and is a bitter individual full of hate, destruction, and anger. They are small people who must bully others to cover up their inadequacies and fear of rejection as they tear up everything and everyone that disagrees with their abuse.
