AS A TEACHER, I saw many example of students being petty and childish, usually because they were immature or mislead but rarely as badly as that of United States President Donald Trump with the “walk of fame”.
He, or one of his underlings, has replaced the photo of President Joe Biden with a photo of an autopen and Biden’s signature.
President Biden served the country’s interests for decades, and honorably, whereas President Trump seems to serve his own interests.
The future will write the stories of these Presidents, although not with a sharpie pen.

Where and when?
Cambodia and Armenia are not at war, have never been at war, and hopefully never will be despite President Trump’s claim that he stopped their war.
Is it just a matter of a poor knowledge of geography or something worse?
There are sadly many, mostly older, people whose minds are starting to fail them. With care and family support they can live out the rest of their lives as well as possible but the problem must be recognized.
An unsound leader could cause untold damage. We all hope this never happens.

Tick, tock, tacky
Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan now have ownership or control of the American audience of TikTok? It’s not really clear yet. The underlying algorithm that manages what users see will be ‘Americanized’ for the local users.
What will the change mean?
We might now see Rupert Murdoch performing his own dance moves for his many followers.
It looks like the future of the platform is unclear and so hopefully are the “Murdoch Moves”.

Words can show the path forward
From the Bible, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you” (Matthew 5:44). I am sure similar quotes exist in all of the religious texts.
From Erica Kirk, the wife of the slain Charlie Kirk, “The answer to hate is not hate,” and she forgave her husband’s killer.
From President Trump, “I hate my opponents, and I don’t want the best for them.”
Which is the most Christian and the person looking for a positive world? The reader can determine that, easily./PN
