Trump’s Politics Starve Our Soldiers: How Neo-liberalism Betrays America’s Military Families

As an American veteran who served in the first Gulf War, I write this reflection with seriousness and lucidity. I will describe how Trump's neo-liberal policies undermine the fundamental role of the military. Then I will describe the unbearable conditions imposed on troops and their families. Finally, I will outline the moral responsibility of patriots to save the military. Here, we will discuss concrete cases: military families affected by the federal government shutdown, food in barracks, federal aid cuts, and the budget impasse. The Institutional and Political Context First, let's recall that the federal government has been shut down since…

Trump and the Justice System: The Comey Affair, a Presidential Attack on the Integrity of the American Judicial System

America finds itself at a judicial crossroads where its fundamental principles are wavering under the weight of presidential authority. For several days, an unprecedented institutional crisis has been shaking the country: the Trump administration is no longer content to govern; it is using the justice system to settle its personal scores. This article provides a detailed account of the James Comey affair, analyzes the executive branch's strategies, and reveals the alarming implications for our democracy. Comey's Indictment! On September 25, 2025, a federal grand jury for the Eastern District of Virginia indicted James B. Comey, former FBI Director, on two…

America on the Brink: Trump & The Federal Budget, a Political Weapon in a Failing System

As the United States braces for an impending federal shutdown—the most grave, aberrational, and calamitous in nearly a decade—the question is no longer simply whether the government will cease functioning, but rather how long it will cohere before its institutions collapse under the weight of political paralysis and acrimony. The federal budget, once envisaged as an instrument of administrative continuity and fiscal equilibrium, is now being wielded as a cudgel of antagonism, coercion, extortion, and duplicity. And behind this machination stands a familiar figure—Donald Trump, whose influence, far from ebbing, continues to aggrandize itself, redefining institutional balances in favor of…

Scapegoating Immigrants: Trump’s Full-Scale Assault on Our Civil Liberties and Democracy

In the midst of massive displays of support and solidarity with immigrant communities, Donald Trump escalated tensions by sending over 4,100 National Guard members—700 of whom were newly deployed—to Los Angeles, accommodated without proper food or resting facilities. Their arrival marks the first such deployment since 1965, executed without a gubernatorial mandate. The move prompts a critical question: at what point does the military's presence on American soil evolve from safeguarding public security to signalling dictatorship? Trump contends that the so-called “Radical Left” incites protests that threaten public order. Yet an impartial examination reveals the militarisation far exceeds a typical…
