MAGA in Cheat

Also known as “MAGA-in-Chief” to ex-president Trump’s hardcore white supporters, who believe that their “anointed” boss lost the election due to “fraudulent” black votes. A notorious title that was unprovenly conferred by both world and religious leaders, who breathed a sign of relief when the corrupt president was rejected and ejected from the White House, whom they also nicknamed as “Commander in Cheat.”

No US President or head of state has received so many titles other than North Korean dictator-and-murderer Kim Jong-un: Liar-in-Chief, Pinocchio-in-Chief, Fraudster-in-Chief, …, MAGA in Cheat, Insurrectionist-in-Chief, White Supremacist-in-Chief, to cite a few common ones.

Mask Operation

When the authorities ruthlessly enforce the wearing of masks in public places for both people and pets, and also for the thousands of mute and deaf gods and goddesses (or deities and idols) in religious quarters, to contain the surge of infections and fatalities, so that those who fail to do so are dealt with severely, with heavy fines and jail sentences for anti-maskers, or even caning for repeated offenders.

For rogue nations, mobilizing thousands of ambassadors nationwide in begging the public to don a face mask is a waste of time and a sign of political weakness; what the dictators want is to launch a mask operation to get the whole nation into quick action.

Holy Pi

When the number π self-proclaims to be God’s “anointed” number, because it is the most famous constant in the whole of mathematics—no number has had such an impact on popular culture that even some mathophobic folks wouldn’t mind tattooing it conspicuously to look mathematically cool in the same way that unbelievers wear a cross to appear religious.

Because π is the beloved symbol of choice for millions of people worldwide, or even deified by some pi fanatics and numerologists, it’s not preposterous for the “sacred number” to be conferred the title of “Holy Pi.”

I Safe! You Safe! We Safe!

A half-broken English slogan used by construction companies in Singapore to remind their workers to be accident-conscious—zero success is the goal to preventing any casualties, accidents, or deaths.

If a grammatically incorrect slogan can get people to stop and comment, its impact in conveying the intended message is likely to be greater—I Safe! You Safe! We Safe! looks like a potential winner.

Why Trump Cooks the Books

When the serially bankrupt Liar-in-Chief has zero choice but to continually massage the numbers to keep his oft-shady businesses afloat, because failure to do so would “make Trump bankrupt again” and in all probability land him behind bars.

For a corrupt “billionaire” who is showing sign of declaring bankruptcy a seventh time, it’s no surprise why Trump cooks the books to avoid incompetency, insolvency, infamy, and imprisonment.

Pi and Friends

When the irrational number π appears to be particularly attracted to numerical buddies like e, i, and 𝜙 whenever they are indulged in some extra-mathematical activities together, as revealed by their intimate liaisons.

Don’t the following numerical relationships prove that pi and friends have an affinity for one another?
π ≈ 6/5 𝜙²
π ≈ (9 – e)
iⁱ = e^(-π/2)
e^(iπ) + 1 = 0

(- )! = √π
eⁱˣ = cos x + i sin x

Pi Is Sovereign

When mathematics’s most famous constant π transcends different math topics and disciplines, permeates both art and science, and lays hidden in philosophy and religion, often popping up in the least expected places in nature—the symbol π is a global icon that resonates positively or negatively with peoples of all ages and backgrounds.

Pi is sovereign among dozens of mathematical constants, but God is Sovereign among thousands of gods and goddesses, or deities and idols.
