M.A. Dworkin South America - It all sounds very noble,  very American gung-ho, very righteous. The lame-duck President of the United States has declared his own personal war on the Cartels of Venezuela. His stated intent is to wipe out the scum who poison our people, and at the same time to chase out the drug lord’s puppet, the corrupt Maduro regime.        It all seems very impressive to pursue a war-like agenda by suddenly stationing fleets of warships in the Caribbean, of

A.J. Pike Dublin, Ohio - Wendy’s plans to close another 300 stores in 2026 on top of the 240 stores they closed in 2024 due to revenue and profit declines. The Dublin, Ohio-based company cites cutbacks by lower income consumers, conditions that it expects will persist for the near-term future.        Wendy’s interim CEO, Ken Cook, confirmed the company is likely to close in the “mid-single range percentage” of its 6,011 U.S. locations, or roughly 300 store closures if it shut

M.A. Dworkin Nigeria - Modern day warfare apparently takes on many shapes. There are the obvious ones like attack drones, bunker busting bombs and of course nuclear weapons. But now, from a corner of the world we would least suspect of developing new mass weapons of war, comes a quasi-legitimate,  quasi-comical, albeit sobering threat, from the African State of Nigeria that involves Mosquito Warfare.       In a story that is being reported in The Zambian Observer and the Dai

M.A. Dworkin St. Croix - In the wake of the 17th go-fast boat being blown out of the water in the Caribbean and Pacific - a war-like act off the coast of Venezuela that has killed 80 suspected “narco-terrorists” and is part of the Trump Administration’s attempt to destabilize the corrupt Maduro regime and put a damper on the cartel's drug trade infiltrating the U.S.- imminent signs of a broad military build-up in the Caribbean has settled upon the quiet shores of the sleepy

M.A. Dworkin Norfolk, VA - The 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, fired another shot across the bow of the 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump, with enough force to sink the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford. While recently attending a Democratic rally in Norfolk, Virginia, to show support for Abigail Spanberger, who was subsequently elected as Virginia’s first female Governor, Obama confessed even he could not have predict

M.A. Dworkin St. Thomas - Given the fact there is so little history, current and historical, on the USVI as a whole, it is surprising to find the recent hullabaloo about Governor Bryan looking to film a documentary about his time in office. Go try and find anything on historical figures such as David Hamilton Jackson, certainly one of the most important and influential figures in the formation of the USVI, both post emancipation years and post U.S. Territorial years, and you
