As the highly anticipated debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris looms on the horizon, Trump has once again thrown a curveball by pulling out of the ABC debate and making a pitch for Fox News as the new venue. It’s not surprising that Trump, known for his aversion to the truth and fact-checking, would prefer a rally with his supporters over engaging in a fair and balanced debate. His fear of facing Harris in a neutral setting is palpable, as evidenced by his desperate attempt to create a safe space for himself on Fox News.
The fact that Trump is pushing for a Fox News debate without fact-checking speaks volumes about his character and his lack of confidence in his own abilities.… Continue reading
As I scan the news and social media, the buzz surrounding Kamala Harris’s rise in national polls against Donald Trump is undeniable. It’s intriguing to see how Harris seems to be gaining momentum, and Trump appears to be scrambling to find his footing without his usual ‘Biden is old’ narrative. It’s almost comical to witness how Trump’s campaign seems to be floundering without a clear strategy in light of these shifting dynamics.
Despite the excitement and optimism that may come with Harris leading in polls, it’s crucial to remember the lessons of the past, especially the 2016 election. Polls can be unreliable and misleading, as we saw with Hillary Clinton’s lead.… Continue reading
As I read about the $10M cash withdrawal that drove a secret probe into whether Trump took money from Egypt, I couldn’t help but be shocked at the level of corruption and brazen disregard for the law that seems to have permeated the highest levels of government. The fact that prosecutors and FBI agents were blocked from obtaining critical bank records by top Justice Department officials raises serious concerns about the integrity of our justice system. The case grinding to a halt under Trump’s attorney general, William P. Barr, only adds to the suspicion surrounding this entire ordeal.
The normalization of such corruption in today’s political landscape is truly alarming.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief at the bizarre and downright absurd comments made by Mike Lindell, a TV host, regarding Vice President Kamala Harris’ Black ethnicity. Blaming it on demons? Really? It’s baffling how someone can reach such a ludicrous conclusion, especially when faced with facts as clear as day. Harris is biracial, with a Black father and an Indian mother. It’s not rocket science, it’s just her heritage.
The fact that such baseless and outlandish claims are being thrown around in the public sphere is not just laughable, but also dangerous. The spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories only serves to further divide an already polarized society.… Continue reading
I am appalled by the recent statement made by Donald Trump, where he openly admits to being bought and paid for in exchange for support of electric vehicles because Elon Musk endorsed him. This blatant display of corruption and selling out is truly concerning. It’s alarming to see a sitting president of a country openly acknowledge that his decisions and policies can be swayed by those who support and endorse him. The fact that Trump feels he has ‘no choice’ but to support a certain technology because of financial backing is a clear indication of the problematic nature of money in politics.… Continue reading
It’s been nearly two weeks since Joe Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as his presumptive replacement as the Democratic nominee. Many expected Harris to get a quick bounce in the polls as the new, younger, and fresher rival to Donald Trump, but now it’s becoming evident that this surge is more than just a momentary blip. Harris is now leading Trump in national polling averages, a significant turnaround from Biden’s previously trailing position.
The positive energy and message of hope that Harris brings to the table are resonating with independents and undecided voters. People can see themselves supporting a Harris presidency, and the stark comparison to a Trump 2.0 presidency is pushing them towards Harris.… Continue reading
If Trump decides not to show up to the ABC debate, I wholeheartedly support Kamala Harris using that time to speak directly to the American people. It’s crucial that she doesn’t let his cowardice dictate the terms of the debate. By standing firm and sticking to the initially agreed-upon date, Harris can demonstrate her strength and determination in the face of Trump’s childish antics.
The fact that Trump is now trying to change the narrative by pretending Harris agreed to a Fox News debate is just another example of his desperation and fear. He’s clearly afraid to face her in a fair and impartial setting, which speaks volumes about his lack of confidence and integrity.… Continue reading
The recent killing of Hamas chief Haniyeh has stirred up various reactions, with President Biden mentioning that it “doesn’t help” ceasefire talks. However, let’s take a step back and analyze the situation. Haniyeh, to many, was not the epitome of a peacemaker but rather someone deeply entrenched in the violent ideologies of Hamas. His involvement in heinous acts, like the planning of the October 7th incident, sheds light on his true intentions regarding peace. The idea of painting him as a moderate statesman working towards peace is indeed nauseating.
Moreover, Hamas, as an organization, has continuously shown its lack of interest in ceasefire agreements.… Continue reading
Republicans lining up to endorse Kamala Harris is a monumental shift in the political landscape. People who have traditionally identified with the GOP are now coming out in support of a Democratic candidate, choosing to prioritize democracy over allegiance to a party that has veered off course. What we are witnessing is a wave of individuals, such as Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney, who are acknowledging the dire situation the country is in and are willing to set aside partisan differences for the greater good.
The list of former GOP members endorsing Kamala Harris is a testament to the fact that the Trump era has pushed many Republicans to a breaking point.… Continue reading
Maduro lost the election, tallies collected by Venezuela’s opposition show. For many, this comes as no surprise. Dictators abhor democracy; the very concept challenges their grip on power. Yet, the hope that Venezuela could once again flourish under a legitimate government is a beacon in these dark times. Maduro’s claims of a “Jewish conspiracy” only serve to highlight his desperation to cling to power at any cost.
Dictators like Maduro don’t concern themselves with rules or laws. They act with impunity, ignoring the will of the people. But action is needed to prevent further erosion of democracy in Venezuela. While the notion of intervention may seem controversial, sometimes it is necessary to remove a dictator and help install a democratically elected leader.… Continue reading
