As America teeters toward Civil War 2.0, iPINIONS compares Obama’s latest warnings about democracy with Okonkwo’s doomed fight in Things Fall Apart. Read my take on Substack: https://ipinionsdaily.substack.com/p/obama-returns-as-things-fall-apart Read more.
Trump is dithering over whether to bomb Iran, but not out of principle. He’s hedging like he always does, hoping to claim credit after Israel does the dirty work. iPINIONS exposes how Trump is torn between Putin, Netanyahu, and his MAGA handlers… and why his base will obey, no matter what he decrees. Read my… Read more.
He once flaunted the MLK bust like a prop. Now he’s removed it, while gutting DEI and pretending Juneteenth is woke fiction. iPINIONS exposes how Trump is now erasing the civil rights of Black Americans as brazenly as he once exploited Black voters for political gain.

So America’s closest ally is at war with its most formidable enemy in the Middle East. Not to mention that its most valiant ally in Europe is struggling to fend off another genocide. And yet the American president is throwing himself a birthday military parade, disguised as a tribute to the Army. Because iPINIONS contends… Read more.
It’s bad enough that wannabe oligarchs like Jeff Bezos are joining the MAGA cult to help Trump turn American democracy into a Russia-style autocracy.

Target wants you to believe tariffs are behind its slumping sales. But iPINIONS contends that it’s really a modern-day Montgomery-style boycott by Black consumers fed up with its anti-DEI betrayal. And if Target’s already crying “unsustainable” after just 65 days, imagine what happens by day 200, when Pastor Jamal Bryant shifts the spotlight to Amazon… Read more.
I’ve written volumes over the years about Trump’s narcissism, envy, and insecurity. But his latest tantrum, accusing Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Bruce Springsteen, and even Oprah of election meddling, marks a new low in his war against celebrity rejection. Trump craves celebrity validation the way his MAGA followers crave his attention. The irony? He wouldn’t let… Read more.

Just imagine the outrage if Obama accepted a luxury jet (even from a trusted ally like Britain) to replace American-made Air Force One. Let alone from Qatar. But Trump has shown time and again he couldn’t care less about national security. Hell,… Read more.
Here’s my speculative take, for what it’s worth. This isn’t a catfight. Sure, Susie Wiles schoolmarmed Trump’s political comeback. But no amount of political strategery can compete with naked seduction. Because the only aides Trump values more than those who stroke his ego are those who stroke his manhood. And, when it comes to the… Read more.
