After Bulldozing Internationalism, President Announces "New Manifest Destiny"
January 20th (Cape Alava, WA) – Manifest Destiny. These two words elicit a strong response in the American psyche. Depending upon the person, this may bring feelings of exceptionalism; that the United States had—perhaps through divine providence—a mission to spread democratic ideals from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, and to keep European empires out of these lands. For those people already living in the path of the expansionists, it was seen as a racist landgrab that displaced and killed millions, paving the way for a uniquely American territorial empire that denied freedoms to most and is still in existence today.

Native Americans React to New Presidential Order
January 20th (Tahlequah, OK) – It has taken the entire history of the United States of America, but at long last a President has unequivocally apologized out loud to the indigenous people of these lands. The explicit apology follows much earlier ones to native Hawai’ians for overthrowing their kingdom, Black people for slavery, Japanese Americans for unjustly imprisoning them in internment camps during World War II, and others. Despite a resolution passed by Congress and signed by then-President Barack Obama in December 2009, no public declaration had ever been made before. According to Robert Longley of ThoughtCo (Longley, Robert. "U.S. Apology to Native Americans." ThoughtCo, Dec. 15, 2020, thoughtco.com /the-us-apologized-to-native-americans-3974561.):

Türkiye Recalls Ambassador in Response to Assyrian Genocide Acknowledgement
January 20th (Ankara, Türkiye) – Türkiye (formerly known as “Turkey”) has immediately recalled its ambassador back home for consultations in response to the signing of the second of ten Executive Orders the newly installed President of the United States presented during the inauguration ceremony. Further, the NATO ally and host to two American military bases—one of which contains tactical nuclear weapons—summoned the United States Ambassador for a dressing down, reportedly by the President of Türkiye directly. While Türkiye and the United States are often at odds on the world stage, the alliance between the two countries has remained steadfast for decades and issues are usually quietly resolved behind the scenes.

Guantanamo Bay to Shut Down, Terrorists Brought to Mainland
January 20th (Miami, FL) – Just minutes into the beginning of this administration, the new President issued the first of what would end up being ten Executive Orders. While it is traditional for the White House to provide the press with the text of such orders with detailed explanations and examinations beforehand, this President opted to surprise everyone and only produce that information after announcing them to the world. With the ink of the President’s signature still wet on the official documents, many questions remained about not just the logistics of the President’s actions, but on the legality.

Just The Headlines, No Bull.
ARG! Let's run this through! U.S. Pushes for TikTok Sale to Resolve National Security Concerns The United States Government, has for a while, bad mouthed TikTok, threatened to ban them, shut them down, etc... while catapulting the social media platform right to the top of the rankings. What's all the bad press? Well, again, there is NO SUCH THING as bad press. There are just Bad actors and bad people. Any press is positive, as the Trumpster knows well. Anyway, The issue is, the United States Government says that China has access to all your user data! OH NO! And since the beginning, the USA has been telling China, that they MUST store all data on Americans, on American soil, for security reasons. Now, they want ByteDance to sell the company. Well, if I was a corrupt bunch of fucking politicians who wanted a taste of that data, or a piece of that company, I'd be doing the same thing, but I'm neither politician, or corrupt.
