As the year comes to a close, I sit and reflect on everything that happened in the calendar year 2025. A lot has happened for sure, in America and elsewhere. Below are some worth chronicling.
The BIGGEST & Most Sensational Stories of 2025
US & Israel Strike Iran
A coordinated military assault on Iranian nuclear facilities sends shockwaves worldwide.
The attack is framed as “defensive,” but critics call it a reckless escalation that risks all-out regional war.
Nuclear fears return to the global stage, raising questions about who controls the narrative of “threats.”
Benjamin Netanyahu Visits the White House Five Times
Bibi becomes Washington’s most frequent foreign visitor of the year, fueling speculation about covert agreements and wartime planning.
His repeated presence symbolizes the tightening U.S.–Israel alliance and reinforces accusations that American Middle East strategy is driven externally, not domestically.
Assassination of Charlie Kirk
A conservative firebrand is shot at a university event in Utah, triggering a political earthquake.
Conflicting reports and rushed FBI statements create a fog of doubt — conspiracy theories flourish, trust erodes, and political martyrdom reshapes the right.
Epstein Files Release-But Still No Truth
Over 300,000 documents are released, but heavy redactions protect elite networks once again.
The public gets scandal-fragments, not names.
Delayed transparency convinces many that America has “tiers of justice,” with the powerful shielded by selective secrecy.
Trump ICE Raids Escalate
New enforcement waves sweep neighborhoods and workplaces, sowing panic.
Citizens and even Indigenous people report wrongful detentions, exposing systemic chaos.
Critics argue the raids double as a surveillance expansion tool and a distraction from elite corruption.
“False Flag” Events Ignite Panic
Highly publicized attacks — including New Year’s Eve in New Orleans and National Guard shootings in DC, trigger national fear.
Commentators across the spectrum suggest manipulation: staged events to justify expanded security powers and normalize state intrusion.
Fake Ceasefire & Gaza Reconstruction Controversy
The October “peace plan” is sold as hope but experienced as displacement and strategic land acquisition.
Observers warn that “rebuilding” may mean profit-driven gentrification disguised as humanitarian aid.
LA Wildfires and the Politics of Land
Historic fires destroy thousands of homes, especially in middle-class Black communities.
Billionaire-controlled water resources hinder firefighting; developers swoop in.
Survivors call it “disaster capitalism made visible.”
MAGA Breaks with Israel
For the first time in decades, major right-wing voices openly criticize Israel over Gaza.
Greene, Rogan, and Bannon fracture MAGA consensus, redefining loyalty tests and reshaping conservative foreign-policy identity.
Zoran Mandami Wins NYC
A progressive triumph that immediately faces the machinery of compromise.
Mandami promises affordability but keeps establishment policing strategies and meets with Wall Street, exposing the limits of urban progressivism inside a capitalist power structure.
Marjorie Taylor Greene Resigns
Breaking with Trump over Epstein transparency and foreign wars, Greene steps down abruptly.
Her fall shows the cost of diverging from movement orthodoxy, and hints at a future media empire built on grievance.
Nancy Pelosi Retires
After decades as a defining power broker, Pelosi steps away, symbolizing the sunset of Democratic centrism.
Her departure leaves questions: will progressives finally rise, or will donor-class politics reassert itself under new names?
