We left for sunshine—came home with fear

We thought Mexico would be easy. Just five days. All-inclusive. A direct flight from Dallas to Cancún. We’d been before, back in 2006. It was peaceful then. The hardest part was choosing between two buffet lines. But this time, it felt different. Heavily armed guards stood outside our resort, not just at the gate—on the beach. There was an unease in the air. Locals walked fast. A waiter whispered, “Don’t take taxis from the street. Please.” On our second night, there was shouting outside our hotel room at 3 a.m. My wife clutched my arm so tight it hurt. Next morning, we found out a body had been discovered not far from our resort—gang-related, they said. I don’t care how “safe” they claim the resort zones are. When you’re 70, you don’t sleep through gunshots. We spent the rest of the trip inside. Not exploring, not relaxing. Just counting the days until our flight home. At the airport, I saw a couple younger than us—maybe in their 40s—laughing, showing off snorkeling photos. Good for them. But for us? That chapter’s closed. We once dreamed of spending winters abroad. Now we’re looking into heated cabins in northern Michigan. It’s not about paranoia. It’s about instinct. When you’ve lived long enough, you know what danger feels like in your bones. And no “all-inclusive” cocktail can wash that feeling away.

Debate My Reality

Greta and AL Gore are climate catastrophe advocates, not global weather experts. They get paid.

The founder of the Weather Channel has over 50 years in the fields said it's a money grab scam. An MIT study verified silicate weathering where granite absorbs gases to control CO2 levels. Another study found that ocean algae absorbs more CO2 than previously believed. Further, it's found that algae grown to produce bio-fuels actually lowers CO2 effectively. When you listen to a high school drop out & politicians for scientific research you are making a poor critical thinking decision. The Antarctic ice is getting thicker. We are having a very mild summer with record and many near record temperature lows. I just read a pioneer study on ocean levels. The previous reports were never tested nor studied. It's not rising. Beach houses are still being bought by leftist leaders.

America: Savior or Spent Force?

Since World War II, the United States has styled itself as the “arsenal of democracy,” stepping in when others could not—defeating fascism, containing communism, rebuilding Europe and Japan. For decades, Americans believed that when the world was in danger, America had no choice but to lead. But the mood today is shifting. Polls show growing skepticism about endless foreign commitments. From Afghanistan to Ukraine, citizens ask: why should U.S. taxpayers bleed for conflicts oceans away? Isn’t it time to focus at home? Political theorists frame this as the classic debate between liberal internationalism and isolationism. The first insists that American power guarantees global stability; the second warns that overextension drains national strength. The dilemma is stark: if America pulls back, does chaos fill the void? Or has America’s “savior complex” become unsustainable in a multipolar world? Either way, the choice will shape not only U.S. foreign policy, but the international order itself. #Military #Politics #USForeignPolicy #WorldOrder

The Recording Killed Her. Now It’s After Me.

I’m a homicide detective. I’ve seen some shit, but nothing like this. Brynn Williams was a bright young woman, gone in an instant. Found dead in a canal, her face bashed in. The world moved on, but I couldn’t. Her case was different—she left behind a voice memo. I got the USB stick. No one had listened to it. I closed my office door, put on my headphones, and pressed play. Her voice was breathy, scared. She was driving, talking about a creepy TikTok video. A woman stabbing herself. Brynn thought it was AI-generated, but then the video started playing on her TV, her Bluetooth speaker. She couldn’t escape it. She left her apartment, but the audio followed her. She saw the woman from the video on the sidewalk. And then... the audio looped, and she screamed. The recording cut out. I thought it was just a disturbing story. Until it happened to me. At 4:25 AM, I woke up to the sound of a woman sobbing. It was coming from my closet. I opened the door, saw nothing, and then felt cold fingers wrap around my neck. I was bashed into the door. My wife screamed. It stopped, and I collapsed. I told my colleagues, but they didn’t believe me. They put me on leave. For my own health, they said. Now I hear giggling all the time. From the closet, from the attic. I don’t know how much longer I have. I think I should make a voice memo. Maybe then someone will understand. Maybe then someone will know what’s happening to me. #DetectiveNightmare #UnsolvedHorror
