One of the trends that I have pointed out at Shoebat.com is the rise of secularism with a complete lack or indifference to belief in God. America was even at her height a questionably Christian nation, with a long of unbelief. However, this has only become more apparent with time, and with the passing of […]
Nations are made of people, and as people change, nations change.

In October 2020, I wrote the following: …there is a lot of grief in Azerbaijan over the treatment of Azeris by Armenians, particularly because of forced deportations of Azeris from Armenian controlled regions. If Azerbaijan gains territories and does nothing to the Armenians living there, they could present themselves a a sort of benevolent liberator […]
When the Azeris and Armenians were killing each other in their most recent conflict Nagorno-Karabakh, the United States did not get involved. Instead, two regional powers — Turkey and Russia — were the ones who intervened, with Russia brokering the ceasefire. These two former empires filled in the power vacuum, in pursuit of reviving their […]
COVID has changed many things about society, including how people relate to each other. In an interesting article from the AP, a trend has emerged now where some young girls in Africa, due to COVID influenced economic conditions, are being married off early.

COVID did not destroy the world economies, but just exposed what was already there, and with each passing day and the more information that comes out, the more difficult things seem to be. According to the European Central Bank and reported on by Zero Hedge, new market research shows that 93% of economies around the […]
With the dust settling over the election 2020 debacle, the Washington Post asks an interesting and critical question- will lawyers for Trump who filed lawsuits on his behalf now find themselves in a legal crosshair over ‘frivolous lawsuit’ accusations?
