It seems every time one racially-charged incident ends, a gender or religious controversy takes its place; Ruminate on the issues dividing our nation and world.
Was Suella Braverman Correct in Calling British-Pakistani Men Perverts?
The last two Conservative Home Secretaries seem to have a knack of playing to the far-right gallery. This is either beause they believe in what they say totally or they are wanting to attract the far-right vote. With the local elections coming up next month and with a general election looming in 2024 the Tories are going to need all the votes they can muster.

When Prejudiced Providers Show Their True Colors
Over the last 20 years or so, a growing number of research articles and media reports have demonstrated that racial discrimination in healthcare is a serious issue. Indeed, discrimination in the healthcare setting is a significant cause of poor quality care among visible minorities in the US, UK, Canada, and other Western countries. This is demonstrated by the shocking racial disparities in quality of care across all medical specialties, as well as the testimonies of patients and healthcare workers of color. Furthermore, the evidence points to a systemic problem, rather than just “a few bad apples.”

NATO and Russia: The Relation
The history of souring relations between The Soviet Union and NATO dates all the way back to the cold war. In 1947. The war wasn’t really a war between 2 Groups of Countries like the World War but it was a clash between ideologies. Nato was in favor of Democracy while Russia was in favor of Communism. It all started when the Soviet Union created Communist puppet states as a buffer zone between West Europe and East Europe. This action created a bunch more Communist-Soviet Puppet States. This suggested that the Soviet Union was trying to spread Communism. This triggered the West and they created NATO. From then on the Cold War started. The US created the Marshall plan and sent 13.3 Billion Dollars USD to Europe to help with World War 2 Recovery. Because of this the Buffer States started getting restless and were about to leave when Soviet president Nikita S. Khrushchev created COMECON a Financial Aid Plan. But it was to no avail. The Buffer States were still unhappy. A classic example of this division was the City of Berlin. West Berlin was so economically well of and was a common place for East Berliners to go to. Some people seeing the prosperity of the West decided to even stay in West Berlin. Because of that the Soviet Union set up a wall to stop East Berliners from entering West Berlin, because of this president, John F. Kennedy said “ Democracy is not perfect, but we never had to build a wall to keep our people in.” After that relationships started souring more and more. Until one day both sides got so close to an all-out Nuclear War.

The Rogue Scribe's Mental Assessment for Firearm Ownership
More shootings this week in the US. Is anyone shocked anymore? In previous posts, I've gone after broken men who clearly need more than just mental and emotional help. I doubt many sane people will disagree on that point.

Republicans Can't Quit Trump
An alleged philanderer and tax cheat, former President Donald J. Trump, has announced his candidacy for President in 2024. He is the first candidate to do so. He had a smaller-than-usual crowd at his first rally, and his announcement generated an underwhelming show of enthusiasm from his fellow Republicans.
