Mental Health and Gun Control. Top Story - September 2025.
School buses line up on the curb. Little feet race off the bus and into the adjacent building. Excitement of new clothes, faces, and supplies buzzes the air. A school bell silences the youthful voices as the adult voices rise, delivering instructions for the young scholars to follow. The morning progresses seamlessly, unaware of unexpectant invasion on campus. A spray of popping echoes through the academic hallways, shattering the studious atmosphere within every room of the educational building. Scrapping of floors spills out in between each terrifying burst. Aggressive pounding replaces the popping briefly before the unwanted cascade of bullets striking wooden doors return. Blood curling scream deafen the popping for a few seconds before the restoration of silence.

Gold could hit nearly $5,000 if Trump undermines Fed, says Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs has made the bold prediction that if Donald Trump wins the presidential election and follows through on his stated desire to exert stronger influence over the Federal Reserve, the price of gold could soar close to $5,000 per ounce. The Wall Street bank explained in a recent note to clients that the combination of political uncertainty, potential fiscal expansion, and a weakening of the central bank’s independence could create the perfect environment for investors to rush into safe haven assets. Gold has long been viewed as a hedge against instability and inflation, and any disruption to the credibility of the United States’ monetary policy could magnify demand.

The True Us Versus Them in the United States. Top Story - September 2025.
The Truth and the Point Laid Out Here is the truth that everyone in the United States seems to have forgotten. To my dear Republicans, Democrats are not the only corrupt people in the world of politics. Yes, they are the most corrupt at the moment, but they are certainly not the only ones. Corruption exists on every side of the government. To my dear Democrats… get your shit together and wake up to reality and the evil that is taking place. It is no longer the Democrat party in action and belief. The Democrat party has become the American Communists Party. Very tragic.
