Nikki Haley’s refusal to drop out of the race seems to be infuriating the ex-president, Donald Trump. And I have to say, it’s quite entertaining to watch. This woman knows how to get under his skin, and I have to applaud her for it. From refusing to obey his demand to drop out to out-raising him in fundraising, Haley is proving to be Trump’s Achilles heel.
What really seems to irk Trump is the fact that a woman is standing up to him. He demands 100% loyalty from his party, and anyone who criticizes or pushes back against him is met with his wrath.… Continue reading
Kim Jong-un admits “terrible situation” in rural areas, pushes for regional development
As someone who has been in power for over 10 years, it is disheartening to hear that North Korea’s rural areas have remained horribly underdeveloped since the collapse of the USSR. And while Kim Jong-un may have had ample time to fix these issues, it seems that he has instead chosen to focus on other priorities.
It is difficult to ignore the stark irony in Kim Jong-un’s declaration to help the starving people in remote villages by building 20 new missiles and shooting them into the sea. This approach not only highlights the misplaced priorities of the regime but also speaks to the lack of understanding and empathy for the struggles faced by the people.… Continue reading
Trump Spent $50 Million in Donor Money on Legal Bills Last Year: Report
As I read the headline, a mix of emotions surged through me. Anger, disbelief, and frustration all rolled into one. How could someone spend such an exorbitant amount of money on legal bills, especially when it was donated by their loyal supporters? The fact that Donald Trump could use $50 million in donor money for his personal legal battles left me speechless.
One has to wonder, how much of that money is actually going towards the $83 million payment for defamation? According to The New York Times, 10 cents of every dollar donated to Trump’s campaign is being directed towards Save America, which has essentially become his personal legal slush fund.… Continue reading
The recent move by the United States to reimpose sanctions on Venezuela after an opposition candidate was barred from the presidential election has sparked a lot of debate and scrutiny. As I reflect on this situation, I can’t help but feel a sense of confusion and frustration. It seems like there are double standards at play when it comes to international politics and the way countries are treated based on their actions.
One key point that stands out to me is the inconsistency in the US response to situations like these. On one hand, we see Pakistan throwing a popular presidential candidate in jail for revealing evidence of a coup, yet the US does nothing.… Continue reading
Figure skater Valieva disqualified in Olympic doping case. Russians set to lose team gold to US.
Watching the individual skate of figure skater Kamila Valieva at the Olympics after the doping allegations came out was truly surreal. The intensity of the hatred directed towards her from every side was palpable. It was painful to witness an athlete who had been cleared by a Russian sports tribunal and a separate CAS panel, only to flounder and fail almost every trick, all while fighting back tears. And to make matters worse, her own Russian coach yelled at her and displayed hostility in front of the cameras.… Continue reading
Netanyahu Must Be Removed, Top Former Israeli National Security Officials Say
It is clear to me, as it is to many others, that Benjamin Netanyahu is no longer fit to govern Israel. The failures that he has demonstrated on multiple issues show that he is incapable of leading our nation effectively and responsibly.
Netanyahu himself once said, “A PM Up to His Neck in Investigations Has No Mandate,” referring to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert’s corruption investigation. Yet, Netanyahu seems to have forgotten his own words. He has not taken any action against ministers who continue to make inflammatory and harmful statements, as highlighted by the International Court of Justice.… Continue reading
The recent statement by French President Emmanuel Macron, advocating for the European Union (EU) to defend Ukraine even if the US reduces its military support, has sparked an important conversation about the EU’s role in international security. Macron’s bold stance reflects the need for the EU to step up its game and take greater responsibility for its own defense.
For far too long, the EU has relied on the US security umbrella, and this approach is no longer sustainable. As the world changes, it’s high time for the EU to realize that it can’t always play second fiddle in its own backyard.… Continue reading
Judge Dismisses Disney Lawsuit Against Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis Alleging Retaliation
In a recent development, a judge has dismissed Disney’s lawsuit against Florida and Governor Ron DeSantis, which alleged retaliation. This decision raises concerns about the state of our democracy and the potential for corrupt influences to compromise fair democratic processes.
What this ruling underscores is the rottenness, racism, and corruption at the core of the conservative society. It seems that they are willing to compromise every democratic process to rig it in their favor, perpetuating an oligarchy while masquerading as a democracy. This is cause for alarm, as it suggests that we may have already reached or be dangerously close to a tipping point from which there is no going back.… Continue reading
Republicans now say it might be okay to ignore the Supreme Court. As a concerned citizen and observer of American politics, I find this statement deeply troubling. The fundamental principles of our democracy are built on the rule of law and the balance of powers, with the Supreme Court playing a crucial role in upholding these principles. However, it seems that the Republican party is veering further away from its original principles in favor of partisan agendas.
One of the key issues raised is the Republicans’ selective obedience to Congressional subpoenas. They seem to believe that they can ignore subpoenas if they don’t agree with them, yet have no problem issuing subpoenas themselves and expecting them to be obeyed.… Continue reading
Mike Johnson Finally Admits Why He’s Killing the Border Deal
As a concerned citizen and someone who closely follows the political landscape, it was both frustrating and disheartening to read House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recent comments on the border deal. In a moment of absentmindedness, Johnson let slip that he has been courting Donald Trump’s opinion “at length” on the very deal he is determined to kill. This admission raises several important questions about the motivations and priorities of our elected officials.
When questioned by Manu Raju of CNN, Johnson vehemently denied that his actions were influenced by Trump’s desire to campaign on this issue.… Continue reading
