It is absolutely disgraceful to see the 2026 Academy Awards completely ignore the passing of a global cinematic icon like Dharmendra during the In Memoriam segment. For someone who contributed decades to world cinema, his exclusion is a slap in the face to international film history. Instead of honoring legends, the ceremony felt more like a political runway. While I respect actors using their platform for issues like the Palestine ceasefire or ICE reform, the balance has shifted too far. When we start prioritizing 'F**K ICE' pins over the literal legends who built this industry, the Oscars lose their soul. Cinema is a universal language, but tonight, the Academy showed its narrow-mindedness. Dharmendra deserved better than a total snub while host Conan O’Brien cracked jokes and stars played activists. A disappointing night for film. #cinema #culture #global

We are witnessing a fundamental shift in how America interacts with the world. For decades, we operated under 'liberal pretenses' by trying to spread democracy while maintaining imperial ambitions that drained our resources.

The recent strike against Iran proves the administration isn't interested in long-term stability; they prefer unpredictable flexes of power that lack cohesive strategy. While it's good to stop being the world’s policeman, replacing structured diplomacy with chaotic, sudden aggression isn’t the solution. It’s just a new, more dangerous kind of global disorder that leaves allies confused and enemies emboldened. This isn't peace; it's a license for reckless violence and international instability. #politics #law #global
