Math Shot

When publishers or bookstores decide to offer a big discount to vaccinated customers keen to hone their mathematical problem-solving or guesstimation skills, who show their vaccination card and the math book to the cashier—a promotion to get kids, parents, and teachers all jabbed to minimize infection or reinfection, not to say, hospitalization.
At a popular bookstore, the math shot promotion for a set of four Singapore math textbooks and workbooks is: “$39 with Shots; $144 sans Shots.”

Who’s on Your Throne?

When your success in life depends on whether you are worshipping your problem or God—you need to put Him on the throne, while taking down your negatives, fears, bad breaks, or offenses off the throne—there is room only for one up there.
Don’t give your educational or financial lack, debt, or cancer the permission to be on your throne; instead, keep them off the throne, because the key to allowing or stopping God’s reign over your life is: “Who’s on your throne?”

Fake News

A phrase politicians use when they don’t like what the media are saying about them—headlines that expose them as liars or untrustworthy.
Probably no other world leader has uttered “fake news” more often than President Trump, who wants to demonize the free press by all means and at all costs—he denounces any article or broadcast that speaks ill of him and his administration as nothing but fake news.

Trump’s Second Coming

The “Great Awakening” among diehard Trumpists-QAnonists for their twice-impeached “political savior” and the “anointed one” to come back to free the country from the “Deep State” and to make America greater again—they couldn’t believe that President Biden is officially inaugurated, because they were expecting President Trump to declare martial law to remain in power for four more years.
With millions of hardcore supporters itching to hear from their ex-Twitterer-in-Chief directly, their only hope now is to keep the faith in Trump’s second coming, which might take place in 2024 or 2028, if he’s not barred from public office by Senate lawmakers.

Math

A dirty word among non-symbol-minded folks who are not keen, or find it brain-unfriendly, to learn the language of mass, length, and time; instead, they would rather pay the exam-smart or geeks to do the oft-tedious task for them.
The math guys and gals run the world, but most are clumsy in communicating their ideas to others, thus making them look like cold-hearted beings living in a platonic world of their own.

RCPL

Short for “Royal College Port Louis.” Once Mauritius’s premier boys’ secondary school that would take in the country’s top primary school “tuition-reliant, exam-smart” pupils, and would nurture future political and business leaders to run the volcanic island, where the dodo used to roam freely.
For decades, the day-to-day running of RCPL was like a sheep managing 1,000-odd lions—when the school principal was often someone who self-glorified himself, by attributing the number of high-school laureates the school produced every year to his “leadership,” when his priority should be to improve the school’s perennial mediocre 50⁺% passing rate to 90⁺% for high school students, based on the caliber of students being admitted every year.

Christ and Corona

When Jesus Christ, the King of kings, allows Ms. Corona, the present “queen of the viruses,” to roam the earth in inflicting pain and suffering to seven billion-odd people, and in some cases to prematurely end the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, young and old, white or black, or rich and poor.
Although God could end the coronavirus pandemic any time, however, it looks like He decided not to get involved in any conversation or negotiation between Christ and Corona, or between Christ and Lucifer, for whatever spiritual reasons.
