Everything Is Coming Up Orange

(AC geopolitics correspondent Brian Neyra contributed to this report)

As the United States embraces the era of Donald Trump as its 47th president, it seems the entire country — and the world — is getting a fresh coat of orange.

Climate change activists in London have taken things literally, spray-painting the U.S. Embassy’s marker in bright orange hues. Rumors suggest the White House will soon be rechristened as the “Orange House,” and, of course, Pantone’s 2025 Color of the Year is already a foregone conclusion.

Not only will American bakeries start serving up orange pies instead of apple, but even Halloween can finally breathe a sigh of relief — its signature color is here to stay.

In a world where everything’s gone orange, there’s a strange sense of unity. If you squint just right, you might even catch a glimpse of a “great” America that’s — well — distinctly, unforgettably, undeniably orange.

Senator Migz Zubiri Throws Support For Convicted Felons

Senator Migz Zubiri’s warm embrace of Donald Trump’s re-election bid is, in his own words, a “return to conservatism” — if conservatism means supporting politicians with rap sheets that rival their résumés. 

The senator’s enthusiasm is remarkable; after all, what better way to demonstrate his commitment to “values” than by cheering on a former president still navigating multiple court cases? Zubiri seems to believe in second, third, and fourth chances — as long as they’re for friends in high places. His glowing endorsement of Trump and the principle of letting convicted felons run for office hints at his loyalty to a certain brand of politics: one where reputation doesn’t matter, as long as you have name recognition. 

By linking Trump’s “return” to the power of redemption, Zubiri conveniently sets the stage for those with questionable pasts to see politics as their true calling.
