What’s going on with Blogger and Google Chrome? Someone needs to explain. The moment the doubt arrived When a platform that has held years of writing flashes a warning—“not supported,” “editor unavailable,” “try again later”— the fear isn’t just technical. It’s personal. It’s memory. Evidence of disruption: a warning that interrupts trust. Access ≠ Guarantee […]
Madam Machado, Venezuela Has Already Been Negotiated. You’re Fired
In sympathy. Venezuela Has Already Been Negotiated A public power snub, staged like a reality series scripted, transactional, and unmistakably final. Dear Madam Machado, This is not a lecture.It’s a sketch because what just unfolded feels less like diplomacy and more like a cartoon, except the ink doesn’t wash off and the characters are world […]
America, the World Looks On The Village Idiot Becomes the Main Character
There was a time when the world looked to America for steadiness not perfection, but proportion. Now the cameras roll, the gestures are unmistakable, and the consequences flow only in one direction. What once would have ended a career is now absorbed, memed, defended, and forgotten. This post is not written for shock value. It […]
Miss RiRi’s Valentine Gift to the Extreme Is Giving Clapback and the Billionaire Is Taking No Bait
A headline can be a matchstick. This is about who holds the flame and who refuses to be burned by it. Headlines can be incendiary by design. HOLA! USA certainly knew what it was doing with this one: “Rihanna recruits Elon Musk’s trans daughter, Vivian Wilson, for her Valentine’s Day campaign.” Enough to fluff a few feathers. […]

Asking for the USA, for Latin America, and Yes—Trinidad and Tobago A Grace Notes Witness from the Plebian Periphery I write not as a constitutional scholar or a geopolitical tactician,but as an ordinary onlooker—one of the many categorized as less adjudicated,less powerful, less billionaire, less American—trying to make sense of […]
Nicki Minaj! Yes – exclamation mark. Because what the heck
There is something almost liturgical about the way celebrity is being consecrated in this moment. Figures like Amber Rose and Nicki Minaj are not being engaged as thinkers or strategists, but positioned as symbols anointed voices in a Republican spectacle that repeatedly mistakes attention for authority. Amber Rose, whose public identity has long been shaped […]
The Crisis of Trinidad & Tobago “Bend Over” Is Not a Calypso Verse
As is now the norm, there is scarcely a day that passes without some calamitous media barrage tied to the mania surrounding Donald J. Trump. Foreign entanglements. Security escalations. Congressional theater. Healthcare costs climbing beyond reach. Cultural institutions renamed. Sensational files dangled for political titillation. Institutions once regarded as formidable now appearing brittle and compromised. […]

Gaza Redevelopment Optics, U.S. Strategic Assertiveness, and Caribbean Diplomatic Fracture
This essay is not written from expertise or institutional authority. It is written to assert what demands attention and invite reflection. From the position of a layperson who has been, by her own admission, insufficiently engaged in the long arc of Israel–Palestine oversight even as the United States and the global order repeatedly convulse around […]
The Trump Machinery Is Not The Art of the DealIt Is the Corrupt Danger of Making Deals
Impeachment is a process. We know this.We have tried this before. Several times. And still — the scions remained. Or perhaps more accurately, the dethroned never truly lost power. Titles shifted.
