President Trump Is A Dangerous Narcissist Backed Into A Corner
Psychiatrists should be on TV every single day screaming at the top of their lungs about the extreme dangers of having an extreme narcissist as Commander in Chief of the United States of America. Narcissists can't be wrong. It exposes their deep-seated insecurities and fears. This is why Trump HAS to attack anyone who questions him in any capacity. Narcissists would rather take you down with them then to have you "win" any argument. This is what makes President Trump so dangerous. His entire ego was built on his constant exposure in the press all these years, and his ratings on the television show "The Apprentice." The daily meltdown that we are all witnessing was all too predictable. I have been calling out Donald Trump as a dangerous narcissist for over a year now, but even I was taken aback at his rambling narcissistic attack on The Free Press on Tuesday, August 22nd in Arizona.

Free Speech For All
I want to give credit to Vocal.Media for being a great platform for free speech as I understand it. I have been able to publish articles that deal with controversial ideas that definitely go against the grain of mainstream thinking, (or non-thinking, as the case may be).

National Guard Requirements
The National Guard is one of the largest sections of the US military, and it's one of the largest because of what it offers in terms of flexibility. Even though it's technically a "part time" gig, the truth is that it's still a demanding job — and it's one that not everyone is cut out for.

Snowflake Generation, Myth or Reality
In the media are reports that places of education, for teenagers and young adults, are claiming that the students are demanding that speakers, who they do not agree with, must not be allowed a “platform” to speak. It is also reported they want “safe spaces” where views they do not agree with are not allowed.

The Life and Times of the Liberal Nigerian
If you have been reading my articles, by now you will pick up that I am a very progressive person (Liberal AF!) and I am African (it's literally in my bio). I strongly advocate for social change and implementing liberal ideas in general society. I also believe in equal rights, equity, respect and opportunity for men, women, black, white, disabled or abled, queer or straight etc. Many people may see that and think, "Oh that is completely fine and nothing hard about that" (or that I'm another snowflake...fuck all yee Ann Coulters then...but SIKE!). Being the only progressive in a space that is aggressively conservative is similar (not the same!) to being the only black person in a completely white space. You cannot fully express yourself due to fear of hostility and being seen as the dangerous other thus, you are pressured to blend in as much as you possibly can (and its hard out here in these streets). Being a Liberal young woman in a Nigerian environment is way tougher than one can imagine and I will tell you why.

National Economic Reforms: Department of Economic Development
Not since FDR has the United States been faced with the enormity of rebuilding America's economy and infrastructure. Today, our economy and our infrastructure is putting this nation's security and stability in grave danger. Our economy today is already on the verge of falling into the abyss by factors very reminiscent of the events that led to the Great Depression of the 1930s. There is also another housing bubble like the one we just had in 2008 that is poised to burst. But, you wouldn't know it, the way Trump is citing his most illustrious accomplishments and the media with their bogus reporting of the unemployment numbers. What we are faced with today is that the United States is still woefully unprepared to handle any financial calamity. We have too many on capital hill continue to be oblivious to the calamity of either an infrastructure disaster or the continued economic woes that are keeping millions of American's languishing in financial devastation would do to this nation.
