Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

I saw a post on Reddit that said, “When you walk through a museum, you’re not just looking at art. You’re moving through centuries of people trying to explain love, grief, power, beauty, and belonging.” I don’t think I’ve ever seen a museum described so beautifully.

This looks like a convenient diversionary tactic. Huwag magpalihis ng usapan.

Habang umiinit ang usapin ng impeachment ni VP, the Chinese Embassy’s inflammatory rhetoric risks shifting public attention away from an issue that demands accountability.

Salute to Sen. Kiko for pushing to expel Chinese Amb. Jing Quan over his insulting remarks. Unlike Rob Padilla, who praised Quan as a gentleman, Kiko & Risa Hontiveros are standing firm. Stop grandstanding. Join them. Diplomacy demands brains & backbone, not threats of elbowing.

sa economy ngayon, ang goal na lang talaga ay kumita ng pera, umiwas sa toxic na katrabaho, at umuwi nang payapa. hindi natin kailangan ng maraming kaibigan, kailangan lang natin ng peace of mind. 😌
