Franklin Pierce was president of the United States during one of the most pivotal periods in American history. He was the 14th president, and during his tenure leading the nation, he had to deal with multiple points of upheaval. He was the captain of the ship, but the boat had sprung multiple leaks. Even so, he managed to expand its scope. Building upon the vast territorial gains of his predecessor President James Polk, he executed the Gadsden Purchase, adding some 30,000 square miles to the Union.

The Checkers speech was made on September 23, 1952, by Sen. Richard Nixon in Los Angeles, six weeks before the 1952 U.S. presidential election, in which he was the Republican nominee for Vice President. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. His place was in doubt on the Republican ticket, so he flew to L.A. and delivered an address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket.

There are moments in history when a simple phrase becomes more than words. It becomes a rallying cry, a vision, and a movement that shapes a nation’s destiny. Make America Great Again, MAGA, wasn’t just a campaign slogan. It was a spark that lit the fire of millions of Americans who felt left behind, unheard, and overlooked. It was a call to stand tall again, to remember who we are, and to reclaim the promise of the American dream.

He came in a sealed train, carrying nothing but rage, theory, and a plan to burn the world. LENIN: The Man Who Lit the Fuse is the explosive true story of how one man hijacked a crumbling empire, rewired history in blood and steel, and vanished into a myth that still haunts the planet. From the 1905 revolution to the Red Terror, from exile to empire, from bulletproof theory to flesh-and-blood consequences—this is Lenin without euphemism. Visionary and vicious. Strategic and ruthless. Less a man than a detonation. He didn’t just change Russia. He lit the fuse for everything that came after.

Before the US Constitution defined the role of the President as the chief executive, fourteen men filled the role of President in Congress Assembled. Though initially an informal parliamentary role during the First Continental Congress, with the gravitas of war and then a Declaration of Independence, the role became more consequential with the Second Continental Congress. Then, the Articles of Confederation made it official, albeit still weak. However, the learnings from this role led to the Founders improving the position, preparing it for George Washington in the post-Constitution era.

He was Rome’s golden boy — beautiful, brilliant, beloved. A poet, a singer, a dreamer on the throne. But behind the lyre and the laurel, there was rot. This is not the story of an emperor. It’s the story of a boy raised to perform, handed absolute power, and slowly, irrevocably swallowed by his own illusion. Nero Caesar didn’t rule an empire. He directed one — turning politics into theater, cruelty into ritual, and Rome itself into a stage built to burn.

It doesn’t just tell you what he did.
