Mainstream Media and Organic Views Abstract A deeper analysis of headline news about President Trump’s words and actions may reveal that Trump is acting according to a plan based on his core beliefs. Trump’s victory to become the 147th U.S. president is a historical occurrence, not only from the U.S. history point of view but also from a global perspective. Trump lost his second term bid in 2020 and...

In 2021, California had the largest state budget at $297.86 billion, while Delaware had the smallest at $6.31 billion (several other states have lower budgets in a multi-year budget format). The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), currently in the limelight of media, had a budget of ~$40 billion in 2021 and grew to ~$50 billion in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, Trump’s second term, the USAID...

Imperial autocratic regimes in world history are the result of the natural evolution of human beings. The natural law of the jungle and the strong dominating the weak in the animal world also applies to humans. However, the development of the human brain has given humans more advanced intelligence, making the raw intelligence of the human species different only in a small range.  Acquired environmental...

Elon Musk is a famous individual touted as a genius, one of the wealthiest men on Earth, if not the richest. He is also a politically powerful figure and a successful businessman in technology, media, and venture financing. Recently, Elon Musk entered the political limelight after he supported Donald Trump to become the 47th U.S. president. He became President Trump’s close confidant (he stayed...

Trump has entered the White House for a second term, and it’s now nearly 100 days in. His approval rating has dropped from 53% at the start of his term to 48% currently. Judging from the ongoing protests happening across the country, his support may continue to decline… I personally never had much fondness for Trump. During last year’s presidential election, I would rather have voted for another “rotten...

Trump won the 147th U.S. Presidency with a ‘land upheld,’ a land was upheld from being slid to the left with a ‘progressive’ agenda by the 146th President Joe Biden (Democratic Administration). Trump won by over two and a half million popular votes and an electoral vote of 312 to 220. The 119th Congress has 53 Republicans, 45 Democrats, and 2 Independents as Senators, 220 Republicans,...

The 47th U.S. Presidency Election was very significant. President Trump, the 145th U.S. President, was impeached by Congress twice, the first time on December 18, 2019, by the House citing two articles. One is the abuse of power (Trump withheld military aid and invited Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky to the White House to influence him to announce an investigation of Joe Biden and his son’s...

DrEveryone should have some understanding of Ukraine’s situation by now. Western media has gradually begun to report the real situation as the U.S. President changes his policy towards Ukraine, halting aid and directly negotiating with Russia. Currently, Ukraine is in a difficult position in the war, with insufficient manpower and inadequate foreign aid, feeling betrayed by the U.S. Zelensky’s...

The U.S.-China competition is broad and deep. Militarily, the strategy of an island chain surrounding China with bases of naval and air force power has been in place since the establishment of the PRC in control of mainland China. The island chain’s threat to China was real and effective. However, China has been modernizing its military since the end of the last century. In the previous three...

DOGE has been in the news a lot recently, but many American citizens don’t know what DOGE is. (More confusion because of the term DOGECoin.) This column will attempt to make DOGE clearly understood. On September 5, 2024, speaking at the New York Economic Club, Trump said he would tap Musk to lead a government efficiency commission if elected. The former president pledged to slash corporate tax rates...

Electric Car (EV) – A New Round of Industrial Revolution The electric car is not just competing with oil (gasoline or diesel) cars in market share; it brings a new industrial revolution. Technology brought the Industrial Revolution, from steam engines to mechanical devices (1769-1830). Then telegraph, telephone, electric light bulb (19th century), the combustion engine and automobile, airplane, radio,...

Like a developed country, the senior population is increasing each year due to high longevity or better healthcare. In 2024, China had 10,930,000 deaths, which is 170,000 less than the 2023 figure (0.153% drop). This could be attributed to better healthcare or longevity factors; less death contributes to the aging population, but the death figure of 10,930,000 is higher than the birth figure of 9,540,000...

A few days ago, I watched a video in which an older gentleman in his eighties talked about the Lunar New Year. He spoke about all aspects of the “New Year,” which gave me a lot of new knowledge about Chinese traditions. Before introducing the main points of his talk, I would like to report the good news to everyone: China’s Lunar New Year has been officially approved by UNESCO as...

The US-China relationship is moving towards a cliff for no rational reason. The two nations of comparable land size are situated on the Earth’s opposite hemisphere, separated by oceans. There are no border issues or historical conflicts between the two nations. The major differences are one, the governance system and two, the people under each’s governance system-population. From the governance...

The Democrats’ Collapse The outcome of this election can be described by borrowing a phrase from Taiwanese commentator Kuo Cheng-Liang, as the Democrats “losing so badly it’s embarrassing.” Why did the Democrats suffer such a disastrous defeat? Before the election, mainstream media polls suggested a neck-and-neck race between Trump and Kamala Harris. So why was the defeat so...

Capitalism is an important principle in economics. The important elements of economic productivity (production capacity) are manpower (including human labor and human intelligence), resources (including natural water, land, mines, energy, and biology), capital (the tools of trade beyond the era of barter transactions, the value measurement of products and production capacity, and the catalysts for...
