With the recent news of massive layoffs at the venerable Washington Post, we are hearing from many corners that democracy itself is under siege, the earthquake being the Donald Trump presidency. We already are seeing the narrative forming: the billionaire Jeff Bezos apparently gutting his own newspaper in order to appease the anti-democracy factions of the Trump administration, as decent people look on with horror.

Whether we like it or not, AI is radically transforming virtually every aspect of our society.  We have already reached a point where AI can do most things better than humans can, and AI technology continues to advance at an exponential rate.  The frightening thing is that it is advancing so fast that we may soon lose control over it.  The latest model that OpenAI just released was instrumental in creating itself, and it is light-years ahead of the AI models that were being released just a couple of years ago.

As long as you have hope, you can face whatever challenges are ahead.  Sadly, Americans have been losing hope at a rate that is absolutely unprecedented.  As you will see below, optimism about the future has fallen to the lowest level ever recorded.  One of the biggest reasons why people are losing hope is because we have been in a historic cost-of-living crisis for almost this entire decade.  It is getting harder and harder just to pay the bills.  Nobody can deny this.  For most of the country, just surviving from month to month is a real struggle.

In February 2026, a familiar geopolitical drama unfolded once more. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hastily flew to Washington, D.C., moving up a scheduled meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump by a week [1].
