As a Lakota graduate, the recent incident where a Lakota graduate’s plume was cut from her cap by the Farmington district is deeply disturbing. Graduation ceremonies are supposed to be joyful celebrations of one’s hard work and achievements, yet this act of disrespect and cruelty marred what should have been a moment of pride and honor for this young woman.
The school administrators’ actions in cutting off the culturally significant plume from the Lakota graduate’s cap signify a lack of respect for diversity and individuality. The excuse given of wanting students to look uniform is not only flimsy but also reeks of a power trip from those in authority.… Continue reading
Well, well, well. It seems like we can add “boats hitting bridges” to the list of bizarre incidents plaguing America. This time, a barge hit the Pelican Island Causeway, causing a portion to fall, according to officials. As if we didn’t have enough chaos in the world already.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen such incidents. Lakes, canals, oceans – nothing seems to be safe from these colossal maritime mishaps. Just last year, we were all glued to our screens watching train derailments unfold. Now, it’s boats hitting bridges. Are we all collectively losing our grip on reality? It feels like we’re living in a bizarre simulation where the laws of physics no longer apply.… Continue reading
As the news of yet another American tourist being arrested in Turks and Caicos for possession of ammo floods the media, it’s hard not to shake my head at the sheer stupidity of these individuals. I mean, how difficult is it to check your luggage for stray ammunition before heading to another country? The fact that this is the fifth case in a single week is both baffling and concerning.
The fact that the first person to be caught with loose ammo in their luggage garnered attention and raised money is amusing, but it’s clear that subsequent offenders won’t receive the same sympathy or support.… Continue reading
I recently came across an article that left me utterly dumbfounded, as it showcased Aaron Rodgers praising Vladimir Putin as ‘smart’ in a Tucker Carlson interview. As someone who has followed Rodgers’ career and admired his skills on the field, I must admit that this revelation was truly disappointing.
In the realm of politics, it is no surprise that individuals have varying opinions and beliefs. However, to hear Rodgers laud Putin, a leader known for his authoritarian tactics, comes across as not only misguided but also concerning. The fact that someone with a platform as large as Rodgers would spout such praise for a figure like Putin is both perplexing and disheartening.… Continue reading
As I read about the recent allegations that emerged in court, claiming that Donald Trump was editing speeches for his loyalists to deliver outside the courtroom, I couldn’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The idea that a former President would stoop so low as to manipulate his supporters in such a manner is not only ethically questionable but also potentially criminal.
It’s no secret that Trump has always projected an image of control and authority. However, the extent to which he was allegedly micromanaging the words and actions of his followers is both disturbing and revealing. The reports of him directly editing speeches for his stooges to regurgitate verbatim only serve to reinforce the perception of him as an egomaniacal leader who demands unwavering loyalty at any cost.… Continue reading
As someone who has followed American politics closely over the years, I find myself utterly dismayed by the recent events surrounding Trump’s GOP ‘surrogates’ bashing a judge’s daughter. The level of audacity and lack of integrity displayed in these actions is truly appalling. It is a sad state of affairs when those in positions of power stoop to such despicable tactics to defend their leader.
The fact that these ‘surrogates’ are attacking the judge’s daughter, who has her own career as a Democratic consultant, is not only unprofessional but also dangerous. It is evident that their sole purpose is to undermine the judge and his family rather than upholding the principles of justice and fairness.… Continue reading
Boeing reached a $2.5 billion settlement with the Justice Department in January 2021 to avoid prosecution on a single charge of fraud. Imagine being a billion-dollar company and facing serious consequences for your actions, but then being able to pay your way out of trouble. It seems absurd that such a large corporation can essentially buy their way out of accountability for their role in the tragic crashes of the 737 Max aircraft.
The fact that the government agreed not to prosecute Boeing for defrauding the United States by deceiving regulators is troubling. Shouldn’t a company that puts profit over safety regulations and policies be held accountable for the loss of human lives resulting from their negligence?… Continue reading
Putin and Xi pledge a new era and condemn the United States. This headline has stirred up a lot of emotions, opinions, and thoughts within me that I feel compelled to share. The notion of these two powerful leaders coming together to denounce the United States is both intriguing and concerning. It raises questions about the dynamics of global politics, power struggles, and the impact on the world at large.
The fact that Xi’s daughter was educated in the United States, yet he has chosen to align with Russia and stand against the US, is quite perplexing. It makes one wonder about the complexities of international relationships and the reasons behind such alliances.… Continue reading
It is truly shocking to witness the brazen arrogance displayed by Trump and his surrogates in their attempt to circumvent a gag order set by the court. The audacity to edit statements in court, only to have them parroted by their followers outside of the courtroom, is a direct attack on the integrity of our justice system. The level of contempt for the law and the legal process is unprecedented, as they openly flout the rules and regulations put in place to ensure a fair trial.
The sheer disregard for the judicial system is both appalling and enraging. The fact that these individuals, including Trump himself, have no qualms about openly violating a gag order speaks volumes about their character and their lack of respect for the rule of law.… Continue reading
France vs. ‘Shrinkflation’: Starting July 1, All ‘Shrinked’ Products Must Be Labelled For Consumers
The issue of ‘shrinkflation,’ a sneaky tactic used by companies to reduce the size or quantity of a product while keeping the price the same, has been a hot topic of discussion, especially for consumers who feel cheated by these underhanded practices. Personally, I have experienced the frustration of realizing that a product I’ve been buying has quietly shrunk over time, without a corresponding reduction in cost. It feels like a betrayal of consumer trust, as if we are being duped into paying the same amount for less.… Continue reading
