It’s Nuts That Trump Will Soon Have Classified National Security Intelligence Briefings Again

It’s absolutely mind-boggling to think that someone who has a history of disclosing classified information, is currently under suspicion of stealing and concealing classified information, and has deep ties to various dictatorships and terrorist regimes could soon have access to classified national security intelligence briefings again. The level of irresponsibility and disregard for national security is beyond comprehension.

In a normal world, this scenario wouldn’t even be a possibility. No responsible party would consider nominating an individual with such a shady background for the presidency. It is alarming that our system allows for someone like this to even be in the running for such a crucial position.… Continue reading

Ground cinnamon sold at discount stores is tainted with lead, FDA warns

As I sit here, I can’t help but feel a mixture of shock and disbelief after learning that ground cinnamon sold at discount stores is tainted with lead, as warned by the FDA. This news hit close to home for me personally since I recently purchased a container of cinnamon for my holiday baking and oatmeal spicing needs. Little did I know that I was unknowingly putting myself at risk of lead exposure by opting for the cheaper alternative available at these discount stores.

It’s unsettling to think about the potential health risks that come with consuming products that are contaminated with lead.… Continue reading

Hamas official: ‘We don’t know which of the hostages are dead or alive’ – report

I can’t wrap my head around the sheer incompetence and cruelty of Hamas. The fact that they don’t even know which of the hostages are dead or alive is beyond disturbing. It’s clear that they have no regard for human life and are willing to use innocent people as bargaining chips in their twisted war games. They are essentially admitting that they have lost control and are incapable of carrying out any sort of negotiations in good faith.

The reports of the hostages being distributed among various terror groups in different locations paint a grim picture of their fate. It’s likely that most, if not all, of these hostages have already met a tragic end.… Continue reading

Cancer vaccine for dogs almost doubles survival rates in clinical trial

As someone who has personally experienced the devastating effects of cancer on my beloved pets, the news of a cancer vaccine for dogs that has almost doubled survival rates in clinical trials is a ray of hope in an otherwise bleak situation. The journey of watching my pooch battle an aggressive malignant melanoma that spread from her foot was heart-wrenching. Multiple vets gave dismal prognoses, but finding a doctor who recommended a cancer vaccine synthesized from her tumor was a beacon of light in the darkness. The decision to amputate her leg and embark on the vaccine regimen was daunting but ultimately led to an additional four happy years together.… Continue reading

Donald Trump’s string of gaffes over weekend raises eyebrows

The recent string of gaffes by Donald Trump over the weekend has once again left many of us shaking our heads in disbelief. It’s not just a slip of the tongue or an innocent mistake, but rather a pattern of incoherent ramblings and nonsensical statements that point to something much more concerning – a cognitive decline that cannot be ignored.

For years now, those of us paying attention have watched as Trump’s speech becomes increasingly disjointed and disconnected from reality. It’s no longer about the exact words he uses, but rather the overall sense of confusion and disarray that emerges whenever he speaks.… Continue reading

Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema will not seek re-election in 2024

A wave of relief washes over Arizona as the news breaks that Senator Kyrsten Sinema will not seek re-election in 2024. This announcement comes as a much-needed reprieve for many who feel let down, deceived, and outright betrayed by the senator. As someone who put in time, money, and effort to support her during her election campaign in 2018, I can’t help but feel a sense of dismay at how far she strayed from the values and ideas she once purported to stand for.

Sinema’s decision not to seek re-election is, in many ways, a reflection of her inability to secure the support and trust of her constituents.… Continue reading

Mitch McConnell Says Alleged Felon Who Called Him a ‘Stone-Cold Loser’ Should Be President

As I reflect on Mitch McConnell’s recent statement endorsing an alleged felon who called him a ‘stone-cold loser’ for President, I can’t help but feel a sense of disappointment and disgust. The Republican Party’s willingness to sacrifice integrity and morality in the name of power is truly disheartening. It seems that for Mitch McConnell and his cohorts, loyalty to the party trumps all else, including basic human decency.

The GOP’s penchant for subservience to those who promise to advance their political agenda, regardless of their character or alleged criminal behavior, is troubling. The fact that McConnell would throw his support behind someone who has openly insulted him speaks volumes about the lack of dignity and self-respect within the party.… Continue reading

European crash tester says carmakers must bring back physical controls

I couldn’t agree more with the sentiment that European crash tester is advocating for; the need for physical controls in cars. The move towards touchscreen panels taking over the dashboard of vehicles is not only impractical but also poses a significant safety risk for drivers. In today’s world, where distractions are all around us, the last thing we need is a touchscreen interface that forces us to take our eyes off the road to adjust basic functions like the volume, track, or climate control.

The beauty of physical controls lies in their simplicity and ease of use. In older cars, you could adjust these features without even looking, thanks to tactile feedback.… Continue reading

Trump White House Was Awash in Drugs Because No One Wanted to Be There

The Trump White House was awash in drugs because no one wanted to be there. It’s not surprising, really. The same people who were avoiding the White House like the plague were the ones who voted him in, chanting ‘lock her up’ and ‘drain the swamp’ while turning a blind eye to the actual swamp that was festering in the Oval Office.

The reports of drug abuse within the White House are disturbing, to say the least. Adderall, fentanyl, morphine, and ketamine were apparently as common as office supplies. Who in their right mind takes fentanyl willingly? And let’s not forget the modafinil, Xanax, and other unlisted drugs that were reportedly easy to come by.… Continue reading

Supreme Court Poised to Rule on Monday on Trump’s Eligibility to Hold Office

As a resident of Colorado eagerly awaiting the Supreme Court’s ruling on former President Donald J. Trump’s eligibility to hold office, I can’t help but feel a mix of anticipation and skepticism. The fact that the justices have expedited their decision-making process ahead of Super Tuesday certainly adds a layer of urgency to the situation. However, given the current political climate and the composition of the Court, it’s hard not to feel a sense of disillusionment.

The Colorado Supreme Court’s ruling in December, deeming Mr. Trump ineligible under the 14th Amendment due to his involvement in the insurrection, raised hopes for accountability and justice.… Continue reading
