The latest notorious title conferred on Donald J. Trump for the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol, when his diehard supporters-turned-terrorists stormed the building, and threatened to kill the Vice President and endanger the lives of lawmakers.
Liar-in-Chief, Pinocchio-in-Chief, Divider-in-Chief, Faker-in-Chief, …, Pharisee-in-Chief, Hoaxer-in-Chief, Conspiracist-in-Chief, White Terrorist-in-Chief, it’s hard to imagine another rogue or fake leader collecting so many ignoble titles while in office, except perhaps for Kim Jong Un who has been honored with dozens of laughably flattery titles.

Read as “Covid-Lambda.” A Covid-19 “variant of interest” according to WHO, which was first identified in Peru in December 2020—it is believed to be more transmissible than the original strain of the coronavirus, but less deadlier than the delta variant.

An invisible sticker that is pasted on any Christian by their Protector, Deliverer, and Healer, as promised in Psalm 91, where God promises to shield all believers who abide in Him from any pandemic, plague, or pestilence.

When some corona variants see themselves more powerful or attention-grabbing than others, because of their higher rate of infection, transmission, or destruction.
Just when the UK and Indian Covid-19 strains thought they were the most dangerous viruses plaguing the world, the Vietnamese or North Korean variant could outwit them both, thus showing that the viral inequality between present variants and new hybrids is getting wider over time.

When a political leader unquestionably becomes the country’s ruler, with full support from fellow key party members, who in turn expect to be promoted to executive positions for not opposing his undemocratic appointment.
Chairman Xi is the poster boy for 4G dictatorship, who had cracked down on those who criticized his strategy of wiping out “home-grown corruption,” and expelled foreign forces that try to promote social filth or undesirable values among the younger population.
