E. Jean Carroll, the brave woman who accused former President Donald Trump of rape, has recently stated her plans for the $83.3 million that she was awarded in her defamation case against him. In an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America, Carroll expressed her desire to use the money to support causes and initiatives that Donald Trump despises. This decision showcases her strength and determination to not let her abuser’s actions go unpunished.
Carroll’s idea of funding other trials against rapists is a powerful statement. By using the money to support legal action against perpetrators of sexual assault, she aims to bring justice to those who have suffered similar ordeals.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s recent declaration that he is “more popular” than Taylor Swift and that he should have been TIME’s Person of the Year, not her, is yet another outrageous statement from a man who seems to thrive on controversy. As I read the news, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and let out a sigh of exhaustion. It seems that Trump’s name and face are everywhere I turn, and I can’t help but feel tired of the constant stream of his antics.
But let’s examine his claim for a moment. Trump equates being “popular” with being well-known due to his status as a former president, as well as his past scandals and legal issues.… Continue reading
As a Texan, I am deeply frustrated and disappointed by the recent actions of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. His decision to sue five cities, including Austin and San Marcos, over their marijuana policies is a clear abuse of power and a blatant disregard for the principles of smaller government and personal freedom that the Republican Party claims to stand for.
It is ironic that the state government, which often champions the idea of states’ rights and limited federal interference, is now attempting to assert control over municipal governments. If the state government can ignore the federal government’s laws and regulations, then shouldn’t the same logic apply to local governments and their policies?… Continue reading
Iran not seeking war with the US but ‘not afraid of it,’ says military chief.
Oh please. Even America is scared of America. Yeah, getting all the proxies to attack US bases over 150 times, disruption of 20% of the world’s shipping, is just a bit of playful banter. Saddam said he wasn’t afraid. Then his army was wiped out within weeks, and before long he was swinging by a rope. Sometimes it’s okay, even smart, to be afraid.
You know what is really compelling evidence of courage is when you, unprompted, announce how unafraid you are of something that no one has said is happening yet.… Continue reading
Biden Faces Blame for Border Crisis, Swing-State Voter Poll Shows
As I sit here at the border, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and confusion. The news is filled with talk of a border crisis, but I’m left wondering, what crisis are they even referring to? It seems like the blame is being placed squarely on President Biden, but is that really fair?
The truth is, the Republicans have blocked any legislation that could help fix the problem they claim is so dire. They insist that the situation is bigger than World War 3, but how can we take them seriously when it’s clear that their refusal to cooperate is politically motivated?… Continue reading
As a trans person living in Florida, I am deeply disturbed and saddened by recent news that the state will throw trans people in jail if they try to update the gender on their driver’s licenses. It is disheartening to see that Florida is actively working to implement discriminatory and harmful laws that directly target the trans community.
The comparison to a fascist state is not unfounded, as it seems like Florida is heading down a dangerous path of legalized bigotry and discrimination. This echoes the tactics used by the Nazis before World War II, where they systematically targeted different groups, starting with the most vulnerable.… Continue reading
Taxes added to middle and lower class to pay for the huge cuts for the top 5%
It’s disheartening to see that many people still don’t understand how taxes work. I often hear misguided statements like, “I didn’t pay anything last year, I got money back.” It’s crucial to realize that a tax refund doesn’t mean you didn’t pay any taxes. It simply means that you overpaid throughout the year, and the government is returning the excess amount. However, with the current financial situation and the need for more funds, we need to get used to paying more taxes. The government requires money, and it has already been spent.… Continue reading
Man Posted YouTube Video With Father’s Severed Head While Ranting About Joe Biden
In recent years, we have witnessed a disturbing shift in the political landscape. What was once considered outrageous and aberrant behavior has become disturbingly normalized within certain political circles. One such example is the case of a man who posted a YouTube video with his father’s severed head while ranting about Joe Biden. It is an appalling and deeply disturbing act that highlights the extent to which our society has been poisoned by lies and misinformation.
It is important to recognize that this individual is clearly mentally unwell.… Continue reading
Ohio, Michigan Republicans In Released Audio: “Endgame” Is To Ban Trans Care “For Everyone”
In recent news, shocking audio has emerged of Ohio and Michigan Republicans discussing their plans to ban transgender care “for everyone.” This revelation is deeply troubling and highlights the dangerous agenda that some politicians are pushing, despite claims of being the party of freedom and limited government.
The blatant disregard for personal freedoms and the desire to control individuals’ lives is truly alarming. It is reminiscent of the deceptive tactics employed by certain pregnancy centers in conservative states, which posed as abortion clinics. It seems that these politicians will stop at nothing to impose their beliefs on the American people, regardless of the consequences.… Continue reading
Donald Trump will not win a war against the Swifties. It’s a battle he shouldn’t have even started. As I sit here, reflecting on the absurdity of it all, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of the former president of the United States waging war against the most popular singer in the country. This is a crazy timeline we find ourselves in, where an ex-president and the soon-to-be nominee of the Republican party is embarking on a futile fight against an army of passionate fans.
Let’s take a moment to analyze this situation. Does Trump really think he can defeat Taylor Swift and her legion of supporters?… Continue reading
