Evil Among Us, Evil Within. Content Warning.
Evil Among Us in 2025 I’m sure you’ve heard the saying before; we all have, every person on the planet has the capacity for both good and evil. Sadly, we’ve seen blatant displays of evil recently here in the year 2025. Everything from the racist human garbage that killed a woman on the subway just because she is white, while on his 15th time out of prison I might add. To the more recent murder of Charlie Kirk by a different worthless piece of human trash, simply because the killer disagreed with his political views. Of course, these are just the most recent in an all-too-long series of violent, pointless, hate-fueled, evil that has plagued the United States, and the world for some time now.

Israel attacks Hamas leaders in Qatar, Trump says he's 'very unhappy' about strike
A flurry of controversy has erupted throughout the Middle East and beyond as a result of Israel's series of strikes against senior Hamas leaders who were reportedly residing in Qatar. Not only has the decision increased tensions in the region, but it has also sparked strong opposition from prominent political figures around the world. The former president of the United States, Donald Trump, was one of the most prominent responses. He said he was very unhappy about the move, which sparked new discussion about Washington's role and influence in the conflict. The strikes were described by Israeli officials as a decisive step in weakening Hamas leadership outside of Gaza, a strategy that has long been a subject of speculation but rarely executed with such boldness. According to Israeli military sources, the leaders struck were believed to have been orchestrating both funding channels and strategic planning for the group’s ongoing operations. By extending military action beyond Gaza and into a country like Qatar, Israel has crossed a threshold that analysts say could reshape diplomatic dynamics in the region.

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.
