I can’t even begin to fathom the gut-wrenching pain and unimaginable guilt that the parents of the 6-month-old boy who tragically died in a hot car must be feeling. The sheer horror of realizing that your precious child was in the back seat all along, lifeless and suffering, is a nightmare scenario that no parent should ever have to endure. The fact that this heart-wrenching incident is not an isolated one, with 1,100 kids losing their lives in hot cars since 1990, is absolutely devastating and highlights the urgent need for preventive measures to be taken.
Reading about such tragedies always leaves me feeling a mix of intense sadness and overwhelming empathy for the families involved.… Continue reading
Trump has been in a frenzy over Project 2025, not because he disagrees with it, but because it’s starting to affect his chances of reelection. His attempt to distance himself from the project is futile when 70 to 80 percent of the people behind it are expected to be in his second administration. The ties between Project 2025 and Trump are undeniable, with key figures involved in the project having served in influential federal posts during his first term. The detailed abortion policies outlined in Project 2025 have put Trump in a tight spot, leading him to publicly denounce the project while privately expressing discontent over its extreme measures.… Continue reading
The news of the US carrying out a strike in Iraq, as confirmed by a US official, has raised eyebrows and sparked debates across various platforms. The recent missile attack on Iraq’s Ain al-Asad airbase housing US-led forces, with no reported damage or casualties, has once again brought to light the ongoing tensions in the region. The fact that none of the rockets hit the base is a testament to the advanced air defense systems in place, which have significantly improved over the years.
Having been in the proximity of such rocket attacks in Iraq, I can attest to the potential inaccuracies of these improvised rockets used by insurgents.… Continue reading
North Korean officials are reportedly searching for medicines to address Kim Jong Un’s obesity-related health problems, according to reports from Seoul. This revelation is truly astonishing considering the context in which it occurred. Kim Jong Un, the supreme leader of North Korea, is known for his extravagant lifestyle and opulent feasts, while his people struggle to find enough food to survive.
It is perplexing to think that in a country where malnutrition, famine, and poverty are rampant, the leader himself is battling obesity. The stark dichotomy between his excessive consumption and the deprivation faced by his citizens is a glaring indictment of the regime he represents.… Continue reading

The recent news about the Florida school board suspending an employee who allowed her transgender daughter to play girls volleyball has sparked a heated debate. It’s disheartening to see how, once again, the marginalized are being punished for simply wanting to live authentically. The fact that the mother is facing consequences for supporting her daughter’s participation in a high school sport is a clear indication of the systemic transphobia and discrimination that still exists in our society.
The school board’s decision to suspend the employee and restrict her job responsibilities is not only discriminatory but also sends a dangerous message. The fact that the board is more concerned about enforcing outdated laws and punishing a mother and her daughter, rather than supporting and protecting them, is truly distressing.… Continue reading

The evidence of electoral manipulation and fraud was apparent long before the election even took place.… Continue reading

Fox News really tried to hit Pete Buttigieg with a gotcha question on Trump vs. Harris, but it backfired in the most spectacular way. This exchange highlights why Pete Buttigieg is often referred to as one of the best voices in the Democratic Party. His response to Shannon Bream’s question about President Joe Biden’s polling against Donald Trump was nothing short of brilliant.
Instead of letting Bream control the narrative, Buttigieg took charge of the interview and delivered a scathing yet eloquent rebuttal. He pointed out the stark differences between President Biden and Donald Trump, highlighting Biden’s commitment to putting the country first, even when faced with difficult decisions.… Continue reading
