Unchecked Executive Power: Will the Senate Act Before It’s Too Late?

John Muryell

The One Big Beautiful Bill has already passed through Congress and is now making its way through the Senate, where it faces its final hurdle. The stakes could not be higher. Legal experts and political analysts warn that if passed in its current form, this bill could permanently shift the balance of power, weakening judicial oversight and allowing Trump to ignore court rulings without consequences. Buried within the bill is a provision that strips courts of their ability to enforce contempt citations unless a bond was posted when an injunction was issued. This seemingly technical rule could cripple judicial authority, … Continue reading Unchecked Executive Power: Will the Senate Act Before It’s Too Late?

John Muryell

Trump’s War on Higher Education: A Political Vendetta Threatening the Future of Academia Summary: Donald Trump’s aggressive policies toward elite universities, notably Harvard, are reshaping the landscape of American higher education.

Cybercrime Without Borders: Investigating Lumma’s Shadow Network

John Muryell

Cybersecurity researchers are closely analyzing the origins and operations of Lumma Malware, a sophisticated Trojan stealer that surfaced on Russian-language cybercrime forums in 2022. While no direct evidence links the Russian government to Lumma’s creation or financing, experts continue investigating whether state actors might indirectly support these cybercriminal operations through legal tolerance or strategic oversight. Lumma Stealer operates as a Malware-as-a-Service (MaaS), allowing cybercriminals to rent access rather than develop their own malware. Distributed through Russian-language underground forums and Telegram channels, Lumma quickly became popular due to its ability to steal credentials, banking details, and cryptocurrency assets. Cybersecurity experts have … Continue reading Cybercrime Without Borders: Investigating Lumma’s Shadow Network

The Musk-Trump Cover-Up: What Are They Hiding?

John Muryell

Washington, D.C. — The Trump administration’s push to block the release of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) records has sparked intense speculation that the White House is actively concealing Elon Musk’s continued influence in federal policy-making. While Musk publicly claims he has stepped away, the facts tell a different story—one in which he quietly directs government decisions while avoiding scrutiny. Musk’s fingerprints are all over DOGE’s operations, yet Trump has completely stopped mentioning him, a stark contrast to his previous praise. Could this silence be an attempt to protect Musk from political backlash while still allowing him access to government … Continue reading The Musk-Trump Cover-Up: What Are They Hiding?

Trump and the GOP’s Budget Plan: Tax Breaks for the Wealthy, Medicaid Cuts for the Vulnerable

John Muryell

Donald Trump and Republican leaders are pushing for 880 billion in Medicaid cuts, a move that could drastically alter healthcare access for millions of Americans. While they argue that the bill’s trillions in tax cuts will encourage investment, increase disposable income, and stimulate job creation, critics warn that these cuts could cripple healthcare services, deepen financial hardship for vulnerable populations, and lead to widespread hospital closures. Medicaid provides healthcare coverage for more than 70 million Americans, including low-income families, seniors, children, and people with disabilities. The proposed cuts could result in millions losing coverage, particularly those earning below $30,000 annually. … Continue reading Trump and the GOP’s Budget Plan: Tax Breaks for the Wealthy, Medicaid Cuts for the Vulnerable

Why the Least Skilled Often Think They’re the Smartest: The Dunning–Kruger Effect Explained(Stupidity Syndrome)

John Muryell

In today’s world, where confidence can sometimes overshadow competence, many people express strong opinions with unwavering certainty—even when they are objectively wrong. This phenomenon, known as the Dunning–Kruger effect, is a cognitive bias in which individuals with low competence in a subject tend to overestimate their own abilities. Discovered in 1999 by psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger, this effect has since become a widely recognized concept in psychology, business, and social behavior. Researchers attribute the bias to a lack of self-awareness, noting that individuals who lack expertise in a particular area also lack the ability to recognize their own … Continue reading Why the Least Skilled Often Think They’re the Smartest: The Dunning–Kruger Effect Explained(Stupidity Syndrome)
