The U.S. Congress is a failed institution, with the public approval rating being consistently at around 20% over the past few decades (public-approval-rating-of-the-us-congress). One possible way to resuscitate it is to introduce strict term limits, for the same reason as they are necessary for the American Presidency (i.e., two terms).
President Biden left office on January 20, 2025, with one of the lowest approving ratings in history (Biden Set to Leave Office Less Popular Than Trump After J6).
America has been widely regarded as “Jeffersonian” throughout its history so far (Why is America Jeffersonian?), but Jeffersonian American is deeply in trouble. Therefore, it is time to critically assess Thomas Jefferson.
In 2015, as a response to American hostility, mainly via Ukraine, Russian President Putin warned: Vladimir Putin: Don’t mess with nuclear-armed Russia. Unfortunately, America did not listen, eventually causing the breakout of the war in Ukraine in 2022.
No Chinese leader has publicly said such a thing so bluntly yet, despite numerous American provocative actions from the South China Sea to Taiwan. But as a Chinese-American, I must now say it: don’t mess with nuclear-armed China!
Americans revere the US Constitution. But where did it come from? Two points:
In two previous posts (America’s evil MIC and America’s culture of war?), I talked about America’s evil MIC and the ugly culture of war, respectively. In this post, I will combine them, triggered by two terror attacks committed by two veterans on January 1, 2025.
Two outstanding Founding Fathers had two vastly different visions for America: Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. The latter prevailed, and America has thus been Jeffersonian since then.
I believe America is the most brainwashed, as well as brainwashing, country in the world. One simple reason: [almost] everything American is a lie, but most Americans have no clue about it, nor do many around the world!
Dear President-elect Trump,
Once again, congratulations on your impressive win. Here is my first congratulations to you published on 11/6/2024: President Trump in the real world of Three New Kingdoms.
