Dog Diplomacy

North Korea’s use of dogs as diplomatic gifts to other countries—dogs are treated as national treasures in the land of Fatty Kim the Third.

Dictator-murderer Kim Jong-un sent two dogs to South Korean president, Moon Jae-in, in a bid to promote peace between the two frenemies—will Kim’s dog diplomacy charm his counterpart, who has been acting as a mediator between him and US president-dictator Donald Trump?

Vaccine Differentiation

When developed countries discreetly or discriminately inoculate their citizens and permanent residents with dear vaccines produced in the West, while reserving the cheaper half-trialed doses made in the East for their foreign workers or migrants—a “proof” that not all vaccines are treated equal.

Foreign-born doctors and nurses working in Asia and the Middle East blame the governments for practicing vaccine differentiation vis-à-vis their blue-collar or migrant compatriots.

Father’s Day

A day when single mums and millions of kids around the world feel anger, pain, and suffering, because of an absent, irresponsible, or unfaithful man in their lives—when mums encourage their children to look up to God, their Heavenly Father, instead.

Celebrating Father’s Day is mostly a no-show in most families, compared to Mother’s Day, which brings about much appreciation, joy, and happiness among the children.

Wormy Thoughts

When you tell yourself that God is not going to forgive or bless you, because you have made too many mistakes, or you are not creative or talented, or you come from a poor or dysfunctional family background.

You need to renew your mind by banishing any wormy thoughts, so that God can release a new wave of His favor in your life—let Him transform you from the wormlike caterpillar to the beautiful butterfly you were destined to be.

January 6 Pardon

The right-wing fringe theory that the sooner the Insurrectionist-in-Chief is reinstated as president, who lost a “stolen” 2020 election, the better it will be for the hundreds of presently imprisoned or GPS-tracked-and-monitored “American Patriots,” who have faith that a presidential pardon would exonerate them from their violent attack on the Capitol.

Which is more likely: a January 6 pardon, or the names of the 45th US President and his morally bankrupt GOP lawmakers-supporters in the Book of Life?

Math in the Dark

When problem solving with the lights off could help trigger your imaginary thinking, which could be a catalyst to experiencing that aha! moment in producing a creative or elegant solution to a wicked math problem.

Guesstimate many math educators worldwide could get their imaginations light up if they decided to do math in the dark—when darkness triggers their intuition for that long-awaited lateral solution.

Mask the Math

When rogue, inept, or corrupt opportunistic politicians downplay the high number of infections and fatalities plaguing their countries, by giving an oft-innumerate or gullible public a faux sense of security, who often loosely follow the health measures in place.

Fake right-wing “leaders” from the United States, Brazil, and India notoriously share a number of common denominators: use race or religion as a trump card, mask the math, and refuse to make social distancing or mask wearing mandatory.
