  Orlando Fernandez The “March on Washington” will go down in history as a day of public disgrace. Spitting in the face of America’s law and order. The American flag used to be a symbol of democratic discussion and compromise rather than coercion and symbolic burnings, but on August 28th, 20XX, an embarrassing display of traitorous dissent was made, implying that laws of human conscience cannot be passed without the intimidation of radical protesters. Letters to representatives, polls by reputable organizations, and simply in person at the voting booths were all reasonable alternatives through which the 1st amendment’s freedom of speech can be effectively expressed and public opinion can be collected and determined by appropriate authorities. But political minorities led by radical influencers that drew to their sides the mainstream media, social media groups, and professional astroturf organizers decided that a massive publicity stunt would be a better way to convince Congress an...

    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the successful completion of the Long Duration Storage Shot program. Announced in 2021, the program was created for the Biden administration's goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2035 from the electric grid and economy-wide in 2050 by reducing the storage costs of electricity by 90% when storing energy for at least 10 hours. Long-duration storage of electricity and energy has been a long-sought-after technological accomplishment due to both the massive benefits of the consistency and reliability of renewable energy, and thus also improving the United States' energy independence, as the demand for fossil fuel by power plants is expected to be greatly reduced. The newly completed storage system primarily utilizes sodium-ion batteries, but is supplemented by the previously ubiquitous lithium-ion batteries that many are familiar with. Previously, the United States' grid energy storage was primarily based on Pumped-Storage h...

Inheriting a Lost Legacy   Located in Little Palestine, just southwest of Chicago, is a pastry shop continuing a legacy that began back in 1896.   Knafa Kataifi  prepares several types of Knafeh from scratch, but is most famous for their Knafeh Nabulseyeh, made with golden brown fine pastry dough, stretchy Nabulsi cheese, and soaked in sweet sugar syrup.    However, a recent addition has been added to their menu, Knafa Arabiya, a savory version of Knafeh that substitutes cheese with nuts, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Uncommon even when Gaza still stood, this desert was barely, if at all, affordable for the residents of Gaza, and almost impossible to get through Israel's border restrictions.    This recipe was adopted from The Gaza Kitchen: A Palestinian Culinary Journey , as a form of remembrance of one of the most famous Gaza sweets shop, Abu Al Saoud, or Saqallah's sweet shop, whose family home was bombed by an Israeli air raid in 2023 ju...

  Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov (Иван Иванович Иванов), a 25-year-old man from the northern Siberian region Irkutsk, has just completed his 5th divorce and says, [He's] looking forward to the 6th wedding, but [he] would not mind trying again with a 7th."    His fluctuating marital status is particularly high, but such high marriage and divorce rates are by no means unique in northern Russia, where there is a severe shortage of men. The Gender Ratio of young men to women ages 35 and below has reached 85 men to 100 women. Combined with increasing rates of young adults who are uninterested in marriage, it is expected that millions of women will be unable to find a husband unless they migrate further south or out of the country entirely.   Reports from the  Russian News Agency TASS state that these ratios are exaggerated and a more accurate estimate of the ratio is closer to 98 men to 100 women, but several laws have already been passed in an attempt to bolster birt...

    Donald John Trump, who has died from XXXXXXXXX at the age of XX was a political bulldozer, holding the title of being the oldest President to ever be inaugurated in the United States of America and only the second President to have non-consecutive terms, having lost the 2020 election to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. before being reelected in the 2024 election after narrowly surviving an assassination attempt. His term slashed at conventions, traditions, and precedents of his predecessors, leading a wave of populist nationalism politics that swept across the entire world, inspiring many aspiring and incumbent politicians. His rejection of nonpartisan politics and strong insistence on loyalty to the Republican party made him a divisive President with both strong opposition and fanatical fervor resulting in The Cold Civil War (2016-2028). Donald J. Trump was born to Fred Trump, a successful real estate developer born in New York, and Mary Anne Macleod Trump, born in Tong, Sc...
