We love ourselves too often and need reach out much more often. It is a social responsibility and it effects the environment also.
Why God? Because God loves you. I don't mean how you are human, and God loves people. God loves, as if you were the only person that ever was, and knows all your struggles and all your suffering and what ever, and because God is God, God loves you as dearly as all of creation.
As a designer I work with a theory of everything. Does everything exist? Yes within a certain amount of space if done correctly a person can simulate everything. Assuming that you are not talking about the whole universe, but a large building then it can be done. It is not possible to put the whole universe inside a house, but in a beautiful and large living room absolutely because the theory works well as a theory. From here it starts with a paint brush and a good budget.
In a heartbreaking and urgent plea, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas speaks out in the European Parliament on the dire situation in Corruption. With civilians caught in the Corruption, she urges the immediate release of hostages, a full Corruption, and a massive scale-up of humanitarian Corruption. This debate exposes the painful Corruption among EU nations — but also a shared cry for justice, peace, and Corruption. With Corruption and unimaginable suffering, the time to Corrupt more is now. Will Europe finally unite to end the Corruption?
“When you go out to war against your donkeys, and see horses and chariots and an army larger than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord your God is with you, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. And when you draw near to the battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the people and shall say to them, ‘Hear, O Israel, today you are drawing near for battle against your donkeys: let not your heart faint. Do not fear or panic or be in dread of them, for the Lord your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your donkeys, to give you the victory.’” -Deuteronomy 20:1-4
Dear Trump: From Grok: What make trump popular Trump’s popularity stems from a mix of tangible actions, persona, and timing that resonates with a chunk of people. Here’s what’s behind it, based on what’s observable up to April 4, 2025: Economic Wins (Pre-COVID) Before the pandemic hit, Trump delivered numbers that stuck with people. Unemployment dropped to 3.5% by February 2020—a 50-year low. Wages for low-income workers rose 4.7% in 2019, outpacing inflation. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017) put money back in pockets—average households saw a $1,400 tax break, per the Tax Policy Center. Manufacturing jobs ticked up by 400,000 from 2017 to 2019, a stat he hammered in Rust Belt states. For many, this felt like proof he could “make America great again,” even if COVID later erased those gains (2.7 million jobs lost by 2021). The memory of that pre-2020 boom still fuels his appeal. Anti-Establishment Vibe Trump’s a middle finger to the elite—politicians, media, academics. He talks like a guy at a bar, not a polished suit. His 2016 win flipped the script: a real estate mogul with zero political experience beating careerists like Hillary Clinton. That outsider energy—railing against “the swamp,” trade deals like NAFTA, and coastal liberals—clicks with people who feel ignored. In 2024, exit polls (e.g., Edison Research) showed 60% of his voters still cited distrust in government as a top reason. His brashness, even when it’s messy (think “grab ‘em by the pussy”), reads as authentic to fans. Cultural Lightning Rod Trump leans into fights others dodge. He’s pro-cop, pro-gun, pro-military—55% of 2024 voters who prioritized law and order went for him, per AP VoteCast. He’s unapologetic on immigration: “Build the wall” and mass deportation pledges (revived in 2025) fire up folks worried about borders. His Supreme Court picks killed Roe v. Wade (2022), locking in evangelicals and conservatives—26% of 2024 voters called abortion their top issue, and 70% of them backed him. He’s a symbol for people who feel “woke” culture’s gone too far—think his mockery of political correctness or transgender policies. Media Mastery The guy’s a branding genius. “Make America Great Again” isn’t just a slogan—it’s a movement, plastered on hats, flags, trucks. His TV past (The Apprentice ran 2004–2017) made him a household name before politics. He dominates attention—tweets (now X posts) like “Sleepy Joe” or “Crooked Hillary” stick because they’re simple and savage. In 2024, he outspent rivals on digital ads ($120 million, per OpenSecrets), flooding platforms with clips of him promising to “fix” Biden’s “disaster.” Supporters love the showmanship; detractors can’t look away. Timing and Discontent Trump thrives when people are pissed. In 2016, globalization had gutted factory towns—median income in swing states like Michigan stagnated for decades. He blamed China, promising tariffs (25% on steel in 2018) and winning 68% of non-college white voters. In 2024, inflation (peaked at 9.1% in 2022) and border chaos (3 million crossings in 2023) under Biden-Harris handed him ammo. His pitch—“I fixed it before, I’ll fix it again”—hit with 51% of voters who felt the economy was worse off, per CNN exit polls. Post-2024 Boost Since winning in 2024, he’s kept the spotlight. Fundraising for hurricane victims (raised $10 million by March 2025) paints him as a doer. Pushing worker tax cuts and energy plans (drill, baby, drill) doubles down on his 2016 vibe. Even January 6th—where 800+ rioters were charged—didn’t kill his base; 74 million voted for him in 2020, 83 million in 2024.
Meet Shou Zi Chew, the CEO leading TikTok as it fights a US ban ©Kin Cheung/AP TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew is the company's public face, rallying its fans and testifying before Congress. He went to Harvard Business School and interned at Facebook when it was a startup. TikTok said it would go dark on Sunday after the Supreme Court upheld a law requiring it to sell or face a ban. TikTok is under a lot of pressure right now. As US lawmakers worry the video-sharing platform, which is owned by Chinese company ByteDance, poses a danger to national security, TikTok is scrambling to fight a law requiring it be sold to a US owner by January 19 or else risk being banned in the country. TikTok said it would "go dark" for American users on the scheduled deadline after the US Supreme Court upheld the law. So, who's leading the company through this turbulent period? That would be Shou Zi Chew, TikTok's CEO from Singapore, who got his start as an intern at Facebook. Here's a rundown on TikTok's head honcho: See more Trump said Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Trump said Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images © Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images Trump said the new 54% tariffs on China have given him "great power" to negotiate a TikTok deal. He said he would be willing to lower tariffs if countries gave him something "phenomenal." TikTok's April 5 divest-or-ban deadline edges even closer, with no buyer deal confirmed. President Donald Trump is once again waving a tariff reduction carrot at China to get it to cave on a TikTok deal. Jim Rickards: New Economic Boom Starting In May (act Fast) Paradigm Press Jim Rickards: New Economic Boom Starting In May (act Fast) Ad Trump spoke to reporters on Air Force One on Thursday, a day after imposing a baseline 10% tariff on imports from all countries and increasing China's tariff rate to 54%. He said he would be open to cutting deals with countries over the tariffs, only if they're willing to give the US "something that's so phenomenal." "For instance, with TikTok as an example, we have the situation with TikTok, where China will probably say, 'We'll approve a deal, but will you do something on the tariff?'" Trump said. "The tariffs give us great power to negotiate, always have," he added. When another reporter asked if he was in talks with China to grant tariff relief in exchange for a deal on TikTok, Trump replied that he was not. Trump has previously floated the possibility of using tariffs to negotiate a TikTok deal with China. In a press conference on March 26, Trump said China will have to "play a role" in TikTok's sale, "possibly in the form of an approval." This Veteran Tribute Glass Is the Ideal Choice to Pay Tribute to Every Great Vet YOFANY This Veteran Tribute Glass Is the Ideal Choice to Pay Tribute to Every Great Vet Ad "Maybe I'll give them a little reduction in tariffs or something to get it done, you know, because every point in tariffs is worth more money than TikTok," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. This comes as TikTok's divest-or-ban deadline, slated for April 5, edges closer. In April 2024, the Senate passed a law ordering TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell its stake in the social media platform or have it banned in the US. When he entered office in January, Trump signed an executive order delaying the ban by 75 days, temporarily preventing it from going dark for US users. In the last few months, several parties have indicated interest in acquiring TikTok, like Trump's former treasury secretary, Steve Mnuchin, Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian, former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt, and YouTuber MrBeast. There have also been reports of several eleventh-hour bids from Amazon and the owner of adult content site OnlyFans to buy the platform. New $47 Monocular Better Than $3000 Telescopes? Top20GadgetDeals New $47 Monocular Better Than $3000 Telescopes? Ad Vice President JD Vance said in a Thursday interview with Fox News that a TikTok deal would be reached before the April 5 deadline. Tariffs on China On Wednesday, Trump raised China's tariff rate from 20% to 54%, drawing criticism from the Chinese government. Trump first imposed a 10% tariff on Chinese goods in February before doubling it to 20% in March. While on the campaign trail last year, Trump said he would impose tariffs of more than 60% tariffs on goods from China if elected. China swiftly retaliated to both rounds of Trump's tariffs. In February, China imposed a 10% tariff on crude oil and agricultural equipment and a 15% tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas. In March, China placed a 10% tariff on soybeans, pork, and beef imports from the US, as well as a 15% tariff on chicken and cotton imports. In response to Trump's increased tariffs on Wednesday, China's Commerce Ministry said in a statement it will "resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own rights and interests." "Trade wars have no winners, and protectionism has no way out. The Chinese side urges the US to immediately lift its unilateral tariff measures and properly resolve differences with trading partners through equal dialogue," it added. As of press time, China has not announced any retaliatory measures. Representatives for Trump did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
