The proposal to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% by Kamala Harris is a step in the right direction. It is not about adding a new tax or being punitive towards businesses; it is simply about restoring a rate that was much higher in the past. Remember when companies used to be taxed at rates of 38-45%? Back in the days when America was deemed “great”? It seems fair that corporations should contribute their fair share just like the rest of us.
The issue at hand is not just about raising the corporate tax rate in isolation. It is about creating a global shift where all Western nations collectively raise their corporate tax rates to avoid companies engaging in ‘tax shopping’ and nations catering to them.… Continue reading
It’s not every day that you hear about a Republican speaking at the Democratic National Convention, but that’s exactly what’s happening this week. Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is set to take the stage on Thursday, the same night Vice President Kamala Harris will be giving her keynote speech. Now, when it comes to politics, I can’t say I’ve always seen eye to eye with Kinzinger. His voting record and policies haven’t always aligned with my own beliefs. But when it comes to integrity and courage, there’s no denying that Kinzinger stands out.
Kinzinger has been one of the few Republicans who had the backbone to stand up to former President Donald Trump while still in office.… Continue reading
The recent news about the US blocking the UK’s authorization for Ukraine to strike Russia with Storm Shadow missiles has left me puzzled and frustrated. It’s disheartening to see how geopolitical power plays can hinder the efforts of a nation fighting for its survival against a belligerent aggressor. The idea that Ukraine should be supported enough to keep the war grinding on, but not enough to effectively defend itself and inflict damage on Russia is deeply troubling.
The fact that the UK requires consensus from allies, including the US, France, and another NATO country, before allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons is concerning.… Continue reading
I can’t believe the audacity of Donald Trump to share seemingly fake pictures of Taylor Swift and expect not to face backlash. The Swifties, as her loyal fans are affectionately known, are rightfully furious at this blatant attempt to deceive and manipulate. It’s a classic case of poking a hornet’s nest that you definitely do not want to kick.
Donald Trump’s decision to use AI-generated images for propaganda purposes is not only unethical but also potentially illegal. The unlicensed appropriation of likeness is actionable in all 50 states, and it’s surprising that someone running for the highest office in the country would resort to such underhanded tactics.… Continue reading
As I delve into the convoluted financial web that Donald Trump finds himself entangled in, it becomes increasingly evident that the man is not just a failed businessman, but a cunning con artist who has managed to swindle his way through life with audacious disregard for the consequences of his actions. The fact that he owes more than $100 million from lawsuits, as revealed by his financial disclosures, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his mountain of debt and legal troubles.
It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that there are still people out there who staunchly support Trump, blindly refusing to see the truth that lies right in front of them.… Continue reading
As the news of the tragic death of Senior Airman Roger Fortson continues to circulate, it is infuriating to see the lack of immediate action to hold the Florida deputy accountable for his actions. The fact that this deputy has not yet faced charges is appalling, especially when there is clear body cam footage showcasing the unjustifiable nature of the incident. It is a stark reminder of the delayed and denied justice that often plagues Black individuals in America.
The demand from the lawyer and family of Senior Airman Roger Fortson for the deputy to face charges is more than justified.… Continue reading
I can’t help but find the latest drama surrounding Donald Trump both amusing and concerning at the same time. The reports of him bombarding Miriam Adelson, a billionaire Republican supporter, with angry texts accusing her of being involved with his Republican rivals, just highlight the chaos that seems to follow him wherever he goes. It’s almost comical to imagine a former president, known for his fiery tweets, now resorting to childish texts to express his frustrations.
The fact that these texts were sent by Natalie Harp, referred to as “the human printer,” who provided Trump with positive news clippings during his trial in New York, brings a whole new level of absurdity to the situation.… Continue reading
Russia says Ukraine used Western rockets to destroy bridge in Kursk region. Well, it’s not surprising that Russia is pointing fingers at Ukraine for using Western weapons when they themselves have been utilizing North Korean and Iranian weaponry. It’s almost comical to witness this tit-for-tat exchange of accusations between two countries engaged in a conflict.
I remember the analogy of Ukrainian tanks becoming Ukrainian once they are in Ukraine’s possession, similar to how Russian weapons become Russian when used by their military. So, the fact that Ukraine is using Western rockets in Kursk region shouldn’t come as a shock. After all, in a war where both sides are armed to the teeth, it’s only natural that each nation will use whatever resources they can get their hands on.… Continue reading
It seems like the latest, silliest thing that Trump supporters are freaking out about is Tim Walz’s tacos. Yes, you read that right – tacos. This whole debacle started when Tim Walz and Kamala Harris released a YouTube video discussing food, music, and their hopes for the future of America if they win the election against Donald Trump. In the video, Walz made a lighthearted joke about not being able to handle much spiciness in his food, specifically tacos. And well, Trump supporters lost their minds over it.
The right-wingers online are claiming that Walz’s comments about not being able to handle spicy food are somehow racist against white people.… Continue reading
Biden is reportedly ‘open’ to sending long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, and I have to say, it’s about time. The rules only state not to launch long-range attacks from Ukraine, so by sending them to Ukraine’s neighboring countries, like Russia, the game could change significantly. With Tomahawks and JASSM missiles potentially being used in the conflict, the balance of power in the region could shift dramatically.
The effectiveness of these missiles, with ranges of up to 1000km, could be a genuine game-changer for Ukraine. The US has the capability to manufacture more of these missiles every year, so why not provide them to Ukraine to help end the war once and for all?… Continue reading
