Migrate, and don’t go back

It is truly saddening to see just how easily some people forget their roots. To be able to suggest to their fellow countrymen to migrate and don’t go back, just because they watch a video of a certain politician saying certain things that they don’t agree with, reflects a total absence of patriotism and a [...]

Michael Heart – We Will Not Go Down

I have always believed that the crisis and war in Gaza are more than just a religious conflict.

Many had also written articles or opinions that contain the phrase “…when the dust settles…” when commenting on the outcome of the election.
