flash yellow then solid yellow, then red, and then pedestrians have the right of way. Must be tough making that left turn on a red light from Agoura onto Lakeview and looking straight ahead, and though there’s no excuse and this should be entirely her fault, I would hope the city makes some changes to make that crosswalk intersection more clearly visible to drivers. I hope that her client list from their charity starts to dwindle, and that all that money they’ve been hoarding and funneling offshore fire back on them tenfold. This should have made the news here, I’ve never heard of Scott Erickson, Grossman’s friend, even in the baseball hall of fame.… Continue reading
As I stumbled upon the news about Kenneth Chesebro, one of Trump’s election fraud lawyers getting caught in a big lie, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief. How could a Harvard Law graduate, someone who worked for white-shoe law firms and was once a Democrat, find himself entangled in such a web of deceit and deception? The revelation that Chesebro used a secret Twitter account to make arguments that directly contradicted his legal defense in the Michigan election fraud case is truly mind-boggling. Perjuring himself by denying involvement with Twitter, only to have his anonymous account exposed, paints a grim picture of the depths to which some individuals are willing to sink in pursuit of their misguided agendas.… Continue reading
As I watched the footage of Donald Trump referring to his wife Melania as ‘Mercedes’ during his CPAC speech, I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of shock and concern. Some might brush it off as a simple slip of the tongue, but given the context and the history of Trump’s behavior, it’s hard to ignore the underlying implications. It’s not just about forgetting a name; it’s about the bigger picture of Trump’s mental state and potential cognitive decline.
The fact that Trump had to pause and look down at his notes or phone to remember his wife and children’s names is alarming.… Continue reading
Republicans Suddenly Realize Alabama’s IVF Ruling Is Bad For Them
The recent ruling on IVF in Alabama has sent shockwaves through the Republican party, with many conservative figures realizing the unintended consequences of their stance on reproductive rights. What was once a rallying cry against abortion has now turned into a stumbling block for couples seeking fertility treatments. It seems that Republicans are only now starting to care about the issue because it directly affects their own constituents.
The hypocrisy of the Republican party is glaringly obvious in this situation. Their blanket opposition to abortion has now backfired, as the ruling in Alabama not only impacts IVF clinics but also threatens access to birth control.… Continue reading
Putin Fears Navalny Funeral Could Trigger Mass Demonstrations, Khodorkovsky Says
Putin’s fear of a dead man is quite telling of the tyrannical grip he has over Russia. The mere thought of Aleksei Navalny’s funeral potentially sparking mass demonstrations is a clear indication of the oppressive regime he perpetuates. The Russian government’s reluctance to release Navalny’s body to his family speaks volumes about their concern over widespread public outcry and support. The fear of large-scale confrontations in Moscow highlights the fragility of Putin’s power and the underlying resistance brewing among the Russian populace.
The manipulation and suppression tactics employed by Putin’s regime, such as arresting demonstrators and intimidating dissidents, only serve to further incite opposition and resentment.… Continue reading
It’s truly mind-boggling to see the CEO of Norfolk Southern receive a 37% raise following a catastrophic derailment that caused significant harm to a local community. This blatant display of rewarding failure is a testament to the brokenness of our current system. While hard-working individuals struggle to make ends meet and receive meager raises that barely keep up with inflation, CEOs like this receive exorbitant compensation for their inability to perform their duties effectively.
The fact that Shaw’s total compensation increased to $13.4 million in 2023, up from $9.8 million in 2022, is not only unjust but also reflects a disturbing trend in corporate America.… Continue reading
Iran, in my personal opinion, is the biggest tragedy in the Middle East. It’s a nation with immense potential but is held back by religious fanatics who impose their will on the population. The recent revelation that almost three-quarters of Iranians want a secular government instead of a theocratic dictatorship is a beacon of hope in a sea of oppression and tyranny. It’s heartening to see that the majority of Iranians are pushing for a change that aligns with freedom and progress.
The fact that less than one in 10 people believe women should be forced to wear a hijab further underscores the desire for change in Iran.… Continue reading
As an individual grappling with the recent court ruling on embryos in Alabama, I have found myself deeply conflicted and distressed by the implications it carries, especially for women undergoing IVF treatments. The decision to categorize embryos as children has induced a wave of heartbreak and uncertainty among those relying on these treatments to start a family. The sudden halt in some IVF procedures has left many in a state of despair, grappling with the potential loss of a long-awaited dream.
The fundamental question that arises from this ruling is the extent to which failed IVF treatments equate to abortion in the eyes of the law.… Continue reading
The news of Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh’s resignation has sparked a flurry of speculation and discussion about the potential implications for the Palestinian Authority and the region as a whole. The move comes at a critical juncture, with the possibility of US-backed reforms on the horizon and the need for revitalization within the Palestinian leadership.

One of the key questions that arises from Shtayyeh’s resignation is the role and influence of the Palestinian Prime Minister.… Continue reading
As a Virginian, I was stunned to hear the news that the Virginia Senate had passed a bill to strip Confederate organizations of tax breaks. My initial reaction was one of disbelief, followed by a sense of outrage. How is it possible that in 2024, Confederate organizations were still receiving tax breaks in the first place? It made me question the logic behind such a decision and the implications it carries.
The fact that Confederate organizations were benefiting from tax breaks is perplexing on many levels. These organizations represent a dark chapter in American history, one that is stained with division, hatred, and treason.… Continue reading
