Ledger of the Seventy-Four Percent. Content Warning.
My rent goes up every year in December just in time for Christmas! This is not just about me. It is about all of us boomers that are not wealthy. Every month I pay 74 % of my check of 1216 to rent, now it went up $20. Every month there are thousands of seniors in the same situation. I am overdrawn at the bank now. Payday loans turn into four every month to survive. At the third of the month the ritual repeats like clockwork. The stress is too much at times. I have healthcare and mental health care here in California. How long will this last under the Rumpty Dumpty and Satan Miller adminstration? What will we do? I live this way every month. My art, videos, and music are survival tools. I was never wealthy! There are millions of other folks living paycheck to paycheck, old and young. I live one day at a time in this dystopian nightmare of corporate greed, bigotry, and billionaires who do not care. They will throw us to lions, but wait, we have been living with beasts in time and space 2025.

No Internet in Afghanistan?
It began with whispers on social media. Screenshots of blank connections. Messages that wouldn’t send. A generation that had grown up with the hum of WhatsApp notifications suddenly sat in silence. For a moment, it seemed as if Afghanistan had been unplugged from the rest of the world.

Escalator Escapades, Teleprompter Trip Ups, and Sound System Shambles.
Everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Donald Trump. First off, when he arrived at the UN building, the escalator he mounted stopped working. Leaving the President and the First Lady stuck at the bottom of the escalator. Then, when Trump was making his speech at the UN auditorium, his teleprompter stopped working. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the sound system started to play up.

When Words Become Bullets
Not long ago, Dallas woke up to the sound of gunfire and another scar on our country. A man climbed onto a rooftop and opened fire at an ICE building. His bullets tore into a van that was hauling detainees. One life was taken, others were hurt, and before the smoke cleared, the shooter had turned the gun on himself. Later, investigators found a shell casing with two words scratched into it: “ANTI-ICE.” That single mark told the whole story. This wasn’t random rage. This was someone carrying out the slogans he had swallowed. It wasn’t a blind act of rage. It was ideology turned into ammunition.
