The comparison between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler is a topic that has sparked intense debate. To ask if Trump is "really the next Hitler" is provocative, but it's essential to approach this question with care, historical understanding, and a respect for the millions who suffered under Hitler's regime. First, let's address what Adolf Hitler represented. Hitler was responsible for the genocide of six million Jews and millions of others during the Holocaust. His ideology of Aryan supremacy, totalitarianism, and militaristic expansion led to World War II, which resulted in unprecedented global destruction. His regime was characterized by extreme nationalism,...

For many people, the word "mother" brings to mind warmth, safety, and unconditional love. But for some of us, it’s a source of deep, unrelenting pain. My story is one of those where the cycle of trauma not only didn’t break—it was handed down, reinforced, and weaponized.

However, it’s essential to acknowledge the darker side of this change, particularly for vulnerable populations like those in group homes and the homeless community. While marijuana may be legal, that doesn’t mean it’s harmless—especially for those who are already struggling with mental health or addiction. The Reality of Marijuana-Induced Psychosis Marijuana is often portrayed as a harmless way to relax or relieve stress, but for some, it’s a gateway to something far more dangerous.
