As is the case with most issues, Trump has been difficult to pin down on the issue of Palestine. While we can safely say he is firmly in the camp of the Zionists, the anger toward Joe Biden has made some question whether Trump might be more likely to bring about a ceasefire to the Israel-Hamas war.

In this episode, I examine the available evidence to determine how Trump will likely govern on this issue.

There is much discussion about the idea of tactical voting in the upcoming UK parliamentary elections. In this episode, I break down what this means, my perspective on it as an election strategy and the consequences. As a reminder, you can read an article version of this at my website: whatintheworldweekly.com

This is part 7 of my US election series. After over 100 charges and a year of legal drama, Trump has finally been convicted of an offence. Surely this is the end of him??? I break down the case here and what it really means!

“We haven’t got evidence, but we’ve got concerns”. That was how the consultant paediatrician (Ravi Jayaram) described the initial evidence that began this manhunt. An astounding report in the New Yorker magazine has revealed many details of this trial which UK audiences (due to baffling secrecy orders) have been prevented from hearing about. I summarise the problems with the evidence and overall trial here. There is serious doubt about the validity of the conviction. Simply put, this case was NOT proved beyond a reasonable doubt.

Score: 7/10. This was my most personal and sobering book review to date. This book explores ADHD, from its origins and diagnosis, to manifestations in children and adults. It is incredibly informative for people with the condition or simply those who would like to learn more about it. Highly recommend!

Rating: 8.5/10. This book features a number of short stories (presumably) written to highlight the madness of Lagosian men. Each episode is about 30mins long. Interestingly however, in some of the stories, it is the women, and not the men that are exhibiting mad behaviour. The book reads like a African romantic black mirror. The structure type is refreshing and that helps to keep you engaged with each story. It also means it can be enjoyed as infrequently as you like. You don’t even have to start from the beginning.

Score = 9/10. Atomic Habits aims to define the steps to forming and maintaining great habits. Behind almost every success story is a great habit, and habits are formed by consistency and repetition. The book aims to focus on the habit, and not the act itself. It ascribes excellence to exercising disciplining in sticking to a habit. For example, when trying to lose weight, focus on the habit of showing up at the gym at set times. The workout will almost begin to take care of itself once you do. As a reminder, this podcast is an audio transcription of my blog which you can find at whatintheworldweekly.com.

For those of you who are new here, I recently took a break from making new episodes and focused more on writing. Well, now I AM BACK. These episodes are an audio transcription of my blog articles(hence why it oddly starts at Chapter #14). A link to my blog can be found on Twitter/X: @WITWWeekly, Instagram: whatintheworldweekly. In this chapter/episode, I discuss the ways in which America is beginning to resemble Israel and Netanyahu’s influence.

The scale of death and destruction of warfare can simply not be comprehended by any non-combatants. In this episode, I attempt to paint a picture of this. Starting with the reactions of joy and jubilation to the mood swing when the bodies started to pile up. I contrast the reactions of soldiers who kill a few people and our leader who kill tens of thousands. It is quite revealing. After listening to this, you will become a pacifist! Wars are not won, they are only concluded. No people of good conscience can ever support such mass slaughter under any circumstances. We honour the war dead by protesting for peace everyday, some of they might be alive if they had people to protest for them.

The concerted effort by the media to present the events of October 7th as the beginning of this issue but actually a reaction to continuous apartheid is key to understanding their immoral justifications for Israel’s behaviour. Hamas has been funded and incubated by Israel to ensure there is never a two-state solution.
