High Blood Pressure in Black Men and Black Women: Addressing the Silent Killer.

  Judge delays start of Trump's New York hush money trial. In a significant development, the start of the trial concerning the alleged hush money payments made by former President Donald Trump has been delayed.

Trump's Caravan Theory: Political Rhetoric or Strategic Strategy? Former President Donald Trump's recent revival of the "caravan theory" has once again stirred controversy and reignited debates over immigration policy and border security in the United States. The theory, which suggests that large groups of migrants are being organized and directed towards the U.S. border by external forces, has been a recurring theme in Trump's rhetoric since his presidency and continues to feature prominently in his political messaging. In a recent speech at a political rally, Trump once again invoked the caravan theory, alleging that migrant caravans were being orchestrated by unspecified entities with nefarious intentions. According to Trump, these caravans pose a grave threat to national security and sovereignty, and he called for decisive action to prevent their entry into the country. Critics of the caravan theory argue that it is a baseless conspiracy theory used to stoke f

  Everything's for Sale': Trump's TikTok Flip-Flop Follows Disturbing Pattern.

  Paying Off a Porn Star in Exchange For Silence Is Not a Presidential Act: Ethical Considerations in the Trump Presidency. In a presidency characterized by controversy and unconventional behavior, one of the most striking episodes was the revelation that former President Donald Trump had paid money to a porn star.

America for Sale Under Donald J. Trump: The Legacy of Economic Policy   Throughout his presidency, Donald Trump's economic policies sparked both praise and criticism, with many arguing that his approach led to the commodification of American interests. Under Trump's administration, the notion of "America First" often translated into aggressive trade tactics, deregulation, and tax cuts, all of which reshaped the economic landscape in profound ways.

Central to this approach was the imposition of tariffs on imports from countries like China, aimed at leveling the playing field for American businesses. While these tariffs were touted as a means to protect domestic industries, critics argued that they ultimately hurt American consumers and businesses by driving up costs and triggering r
