Trump’s Project 2025 is a looming threat that we should all be terrified of. The comprehensive conservative policy blueprint, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and supported by over 100 conservative organizations, outlines extreme conservative priorities across various government sectors. The sheer audacity and authoritarian nature of these proposals are enough to send chills down the spine of anyone who values democracy and freedoms.
The document includes proposals to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion language from federal documents, defund abortions, and reverse FDA approvals of abortion pills. It also aims to significantly restructure federal agencies, potentially eliminating some, and redefine executive branch authority.… Continue reading
Trump lied, as he always does. It’s become the norm, and we’ve accepted his deception as part of his character. We know what to expect from him, and his supporters are unwavering in their loyalty. The focus on Trump’s lies seems almost redundant because it’s like beating a dead horse. We know he lies, we know he’s a fraudster, we know he’s a felon. It’s all par for the course.
But what about Biden? Why is the world suddenly fixated on his performance at the debate? Why are we honing in on his moments of being “tongue-tied”? Well, maybe it’s because we hold Biden to a higher standard.… Continue reading
As an American citizen deeply invested in upholding the principles of justice and accountability, the recent developments in the case involving former President Donald Trump and Judge Aileen Cannon have left me not only frustrated but also deeply concerned about the state of our democracy. The fact that Judge Cannon, appointed to the bench by Trump himself in 2020, has once again stalled proceedings in a case involving the theft and mishandling of classified documents is nothing short of a travesty. The implications of her actions, or lack thereof, raise serious questions about the integrity of our legal system and the extent to which political biases can influence judicial decision-making.… Continue reading
The recent French elections have certainly stirred up emotions and reactions across the globe. The left-wing parties, forming the Nouveau Front Populaire alliance, have managed to secure the most seats in the Assemblée Nationale, surpassing even Macron’s coalition and the far-right Rassemblement National. This unexpected turn of events has sparked various opinions and speculations about the future political landscape of France.
It’s fascinating to see the rise of the left in France, especially considering the significant gains made by the far right in recent times. The strategic alliances formed by the left-wing parties seem to have paid off, showcasing a united front against divisive and extremist ideologies.… Continue reading
I am deeply disturbed by the blatant disregard for truth and decency displayed by Donald Trump in his wildly unhinged attack on The New York Times. The fact that he not only targets one of the most respected news outlets but also spews dangerous rhetoric without consequences is a clear indication of his unfitness to hold any position of power, let alone the presidency.
The media, especially The New York Times, have a responsibility to hold those in power accountable and to not aid in the spread of misinformation and hate. However, it seems that Trump’s outlandish behavior only increases viewership and clicks, leading to a dangerous cycle of enabling his erratic behavior for profit.… Continue reading
As an individual who values democracy and the rule of law, the recent news of Schumer pushing a bill to strip Trump of court-granted immunity sparked a myriad of thoughts and emotions. The very essence of our democracy relies on the fundamental principle that no one, not even the President, is above the law. So, when the Supreme Court granted Trump absolute immunity for his official acts, it shook the core of our legal system. How can a President be free to overturn an election against the will of the people? It goes against the principles of democracy that our nation was built upon.… Continue reading
As I sit down to write about Marine Le Pen’s call for the cancellation of authorization for Ukraine to use French weapons to strike Russia, a wave of disappointment washes over me. It’s disheartening to see a political leader put their personal gain above the interests of their own country and the larger European continent.
Le Pen’s contradictory stance is perplexing. On one hand, she claims that Russia doesn’t pose a threat to Europe and will stop after conquering Ukraine. On the other hand, she argues against allowing Ukrainians to fight using French artillery, fearing potential retaliation from Putin. This blatant flip-flopping raises serious concerns about her true allegiance and motives.… Continue reading
I never really thought about the fact that people still use personal checks at stores until I heard that Target will no longer be accepting them. I mean, when was the last time I even saw someone pull out a checkbook at a register? It seems like a relic of a bygone era, something my parents or grandparents might have used, not something that would still be relevant in this day and age. And yet, here we are.
As someone who has worked in retail, I can attest to the fact that check writers were often the bane of a cashier’s existence.… Continue reading
The White House believes that the Russian strike on the Okhmatdyt hospital must be investigated as a Russian war crime. And honestly, it’s about damn time. This isn’t the first atrocity committed by Russia during the invasion of Ukraine – far from it. The Bucha massacre was a blatant example of the horrors that have been unfolding in Ukraine. This is not just an “ordinary” invasion; it’s a brutal, merciless attack on innocent civilians.
The video evidence of the missile hitting the hospital speaks for itself. It’s crystal clear that Russia is violating international humanitarian law and committing war crimes with impunity.… Continue reading
I watched Biden’s speech at the Wisconsin rally, and I have to say, he seems determined to stay in the race. Despite the concerns about his mental fitness and the pleas from Democratic senators like Warner, he is adamant that he will continue. It’s disheartening to see someone who has done so much for our country reach a point where they are no longer the best option to defeat Trump in the upcoming election. It’s like trying to get your grandpa to stop driving – he won’t realize he’s dangerous until he has an accident.
The fact that Biden misspoke during his speech, first saying he would beat Trump again in 2020 and then correcting himself to say 2024, is a clear indication of the confusion surrounding his candidacy.… Continue reading
