The Ceasefire Everyone’s Talking About, And Why No One Believes It
*I was scrolling through the news at 4:17 AM when I saw the headline. “Trump Declares Ceasefire Between Israel and Iran.” I blinked. Re-read it. Then laughed out loud. Not because peace isn’t welcome but because no one really believes it’s real.

The Anti-Black Blackness
Once again, I find myself with a topic that I cannot shake…and wish to avoid. Here it is, the end of June and we have the US involved in another war, ICE agents raiding and grabbing people off the streets, and my own concerns over money continue (where are all those contracts?). I thought that I could just observe and comment like a true Vocalist, and then move on with the rest of my summer.

Is Russia Washing Its Hands of Iran?. AI-Generated.
As the Iranian Foreign Minister flies into Moscow, what's going to happen in light of the US's raid on Iranian nuclear facilities? Trump said "Bullseye", meaning the US raid, including B2 bombers dropping bunker buster bombs. Massive damage was done to these places, some buried deep in the mountains, with reinforced concrete. No munition could get to them, only the bunker buster bombs dropped by the USAF.

Maryam Rajavi Rejoices!. Content Warning.
Well, Trumpy Boy finally carried out what he had threatened Iran with. This morning, US B-2 bombers presumably carrying bunker buster bombs utterly "obliterating" these sites in Trump's words. Trump had threatened Iran time and again that there would be military action if the Iranians did not agree to scrap their nuclear programme. Trump has a reputation for being true to his word, and this morning's strikes prove yet again that he not only walks the walk but talks the talk.

Teaching LGBTQ to Kids?. Content Warning.
I could not believe what I heard when I heard my stepson's wife speaking about teaching the subject of LGBTQ issues to her daughter. A young, impressionable girl under 10, how can that be age-appropriate? From a faith-based point of view, if you follow the Scriptures, this cannot be right. My granddaughter was shown a video of two men kissing like it is as normal as a man and a woman kissing. This is on the education curriculum, and one wonders what other perversions are being taught to kids in the UK.
