Trump keeps begging for a “rally behind MAGA” — but his supporters aren’t showing up to court: It’s not just that Fox News told them entering New York results in instant murder.
It seems like Trump is having a tough time facing the reality that his beloved MAGA supporters aren’t exactly rushing to his defense at his hearings. Blaming barricades and police presence for the lack of attendance doesn’t change the fact that the turnout is far from the massive outpouring of support he hoped for. The Jan 6 treasoners facing imprisonment and Trump’s lack of action to help them have seemingly dampened the enthusiasm of his base.… Continue reading
As a Pennsylvania resident, seeing the recent primary results where Donald Trump suffered a significant blow with a substantial portion of his votes going to former candidate Nikki Haley is a clear indication that the tide may be turning against him. Despite winning the primary race with 83.5% of the vote, losing almost 156,000 votes to a candidate who dropped out two months ago is a big red flag for his campaign. It’s not just about the numbers, but the message these votes convey – people are turning on Trump.
The fact that the Democratic Party had 100k more people turn out for their primary than the Republican Party in Pennsylvania is telling.… Continue reading
I am deeply disturbed by the recent news that Justice Clarence Thomas has chosen not to recuse himself from another January 6-related case. It is incredibly troubling to see a Supreme Court Justice, whose duty is to uphold the rule of law and ensure justice is served, fail to remove himself from a case where his personal interests are clearly at play.
The fact that Justice Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas, played a role in the events of January 6th and is a known election denier should be reason enough for him to recuse himself from any cases related to this matter.… Continue reading
It’s absolutely mind-boggling to hear the Mexican president claim that criminal groups are ‘respectful’ and ‘respect the citizenry’. The sheer audacity and disconnect from reality is startling. How can anyone in a position of leadership make such statements, especially when the brutal actions of these criminal organizations are well-documented?
The notion that these cartels, who thrive on fear, violence, and corruption, have any modicum of respect is not just naive but dangerous. They operate with impunity, slaughtering people, trafficking drugs, and terrorizing communities. The very idea that they somehow ‘respect’ anyone is a slap in the face to all those who have suffered at their hands.… Continue reading
I find the recent news about TikTok facing a potential ban in the US quite intriguing. The fact that the US Congress passed a bill that could lead to the app being banned is a significant development in the ongoing debate surrounding privacy and data security issues.
The shift in attitudes towards TikTok is quite remarkable, from being a platform associated with cringy content to now a hub of engaging and entertaining videos. The app has undoubtedly gained immense popularity, especially among younger audiences who make up a substantial portion of its user base.
However, concerns about data privacy and security have plagued TikTok for quite some time.… Continue reading
Russia would lose a war with NATO, Poland warns. This statement may seem obvious to many, but it raises significant concerns about the potential consequences of such a conflict. The idea of Russia engaging in a war with NATO is a terrifying thought, especially when considering the military might of the alliance.
Looking at the combined airforce of NATO countries, even without the full force of the American military branches, compared to Russia, it is clear that the odds are stacked against them. The prospect of nuclear weapons coming into play adds a whole new level of devastation to the equation.… Continue reading
As a special education teacher, I am appalled by the recent statements made by a Christian lawmaker suggesting that teachers should be allowed to hit students with disabilities. The idea that physical violence could ever be justified towards vulnerable children is abhorrent. It undermines the very essence of what we should aim to teach our students – compassion, understanding, and respect for others.
It is deeply disturbing to see individuals in positions of power using religion as a shield to justify such cruel and inhumane behavior. The teachings of Christianity, as I understand them, are rooted in love, kindness, and forgiveness.… Continue reading
Anne Heche’s estate facing over $8 million in debts is a situation that truly highlights the complexities and challenges that can arise when dealing with financial matters after someone’s passing. The fact that her son, Homer Laffoon, is the one tasked with navigating through this daunting process adds a layer of emotional weight to an already stressful situation.
The idea of residuals still being paid to her estate raises the question of how an estate can ever truly “close” when there are ongoing financial obligations to be met. Residuals, especially in the case of a well-known actress like Anne Heche, can continue to bring in money long after her passing.… Continue reading
I can’t help but be horrified by the recent reports of Kremlin troops digging into Chornobyl’s irradiated dirt, cooking food over radioactive campfires, and exposing themselves to dangerous levels of radiation. The sheer recklessness and disregard for human life displayed in this situation is beyond comprehension. How could anyone in their right mind willingly subject themselves to such a deadly environment?
The images of Russian soldiers casually going about their duties in an area known for its high levels of radiation paint a picture of utter hopelessness and indifference. It’s as if they have resigned themselves to their fate, as if their lives are expendable in service to their country.… Continue reading
Ukraine’s recent decision to suspend consular services for military-age men abroad has sparked a heated debate online, with many questioning the fairness and implications of such a move. The underlying sentiment seems to be one of frustration and disbelief at the perceived injustice of this policy. At its core, the issue revolves around the fundamental question of whether people should be forcibly conscripted to fight in a war that they may not feel connected to or willing to die for.
The comments section is rife with diverse opinions, ranging from those who believe that individuals should be willing to sacrifice for their country to those who argue that no one should be compelled to participate in conflict against their will.… Continue reading
