Help with US border
Overview of the Proposal President Donald Trump recently suggested — in a social media post on Truth Social — that the United States “should have” invoked Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in order to bring NATO forces to the U.S. southern border to help stem illegal immigration. According to Trump, calling on NATO allies to secure the border would “free up large numbers of Border Patrol Agents for other tasks.” Article 5 is NATO’s collective defense clause, stating that an armed attack on one member is considered an attack on all. It’s the cornerstone of the alliance’s mutual defense guarantee — and in nearly 80 years, it has been invoked only once, when NATO allies responded to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Trump’s remarks represent a sharp departure from how Article 5 has historically been understood and applied. Illegal immigration — no matter the scale — is not typically viewed as an armed attack by another state, which is the standard under the treaty to trigger collective defense.

Global Allies in a US (Trump) Vs Iran Crisis Who Stands With Whom?”
As tensions between the United States and Iran escalate in early 2026, global leaders and analysts are weighing the potential fallout of an outright war. Around January 23, 2026, Iran’s clerics publicly warned that any U.S. military action would prompt retaliation targeting U.S. investments across the region. At the same time, the United States deployed a naval “armada” — including an aircraft carrier strike group — toward Iranian waters while publicly hoping to avoid direct conflict.

What Sets Best and Worst Customer Service Apart
Feeling heard, being treated well, and having your issue resolved are the key markers of great customer service. When you have an issue with a product or service, a company’s customer service department is supposed to help you resolve it.

I know you lying…in a public shared bathroom
Sure some may say this is an exaggeration or not that serious, but what on God’s green earth do you mean by “WE ENCOURAGE THE USE OF REUSABLE CLOTH HAND TOWELS FOR GUESTS” on an open shelf in a public single bathroom for customers and employees who handle food?! Ok, let me back up and explain and I apologize for the overzealous passion of anger I have in my writing; but from someone from healthcare, ran a small Chinese restaurant and worked in the food industry in multiple areas; but I digress to the beginning.

Identification, Authoritarianism, and the Moral Costs of Enduring Support
A common explanation for continued support for Donald Trump is informational deficit, the assumption that supporters do not know (or do not fully understand) his record, his rhetoric, or the downstream consequences of policies carried out in his name. That explanation is psychologically comforting because it implies a clean solution; more facts, more exposure and more education.

When the Cypress Whispers
At first light, when the fog still clings to the water like drifting silk, Old Cypress Bayou breathes in silence. Great limbs of ancient cypress drip with moss that shimmers like silver lace. The air smells of damp wood and wild mint, and somewhere unseen, a heron lifts off with a low, echoing cry. This place is more than land and water; it is memory and myth — a living tapestry woven by every frog’s chorus, every glint of sunrise on black water, every whispered secret between reeds.

The Night a Song Brought Me Back to Myself
I didn’t watch the special for the spectacle. I watched because I needed to hear the song again. Not the version from the movie trailer or the TikTok clip. The one that lived in my bones—the one I’d hummed under my breath during chemo, during layoffs, during the long winter after my divorce. The song that said: It’s okay to be different. It’s okay to fall. It’s okay to rise anyway.
