Senior Republicans fear Trump will tap the RNC to cover his legal bills once again. This should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to Trump’s behavior and tactics over the years. It’s clear that he has no qualms about using other people’s money for his own benefit, and the RNC has proven to be a willing enabler in the past.
The appointment of Lara Trump as co-chair of the RNC only further solidifies Trump’s control over the party’s finances. She has openly stated that every penny that comes into the RNC will go to him. This means that if you’re a Republican candidate running for office, you’ll need to publicly pledge your loyalty to Trump if you want any financial support from the party.… Continue reading
As I read the news about Palestinians living in the US being shielded from deportation, I can’t help but feel a mix of relief and frustration. On one hand, it’s a positive step that recognizes the dire situation in Palestine and acknowledges the danger of sending people back to a warzone. It’s the least that can be done to protect innocent lives in a conflict that seems to have no end in sight.
But there’s also a sense of frustration that this even has to be a topic of discussion. Why in the world would these human beings be subject to deportation in the first place?… Continue reading
Australia’s decision to ban doxxing, or the act of exposing private and personal information about individuals online, comes after a concerning incident involving pro-Palestinian activists publishing information about hundreds of Jews. As an individual who believes in the importance of respecting privacy and opposing hate speech, I find this act deeply troubling and antithetical to the principles of activism.
It is disheartening to witness the degradation of the term ‘activist’ in recent times. True activism should be rooted in promoting positive change, justice, and equality. However, when activists resort to doxxing and endangering innocent individuals, they cross a line and become nothing more than thugs.… Continue reading
Lara Trump’s recent announcement that “every single penny” the Republican National Committee (RNC) has will go to Donald Trump has sparked a multitude of reactions and discussions. As I reflect on this bold statement, I can’t help but feel a mix of amusement and concern.
On one hand, it’s almost comical to witness the sheer audacity of this declaration. The way Lara Trump confidently asserts that all RNC funds will be funneled towards Donald Trump is a clear indication of the self-serving nature of this administration. It seems that Trump and his cronies have no qualms about draining the party’s coffers for their own personal gain.… Continue reading
Putin urges Russians to have more kids, saying ethnic survival is at stake. This statement has sparked a plethora of criticisms and heated reactions from people all around the world. As an observer, I can’t help but have my own insights and opinions on this matter.
First and foremost, it seems contradictory for Putin to call for an increase in childbirth while simultaneously sending young men to war. How can a country expect its population to grow when it is sacrificing its prime-age men in military conflicts? It appears to be a shortsighted approach that disregards the value of human life and the implications it has on demography.… Continue reading
If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Russian President Vladimir Putin, it’s that he’s a master of manipulation and psychological tactics. So when he recently made a statement suggesting that Russia prefers Joe Biden over Donald Trump because Biden is “more experienced and predictable,” it’s hard not to be skeptical.
At first glance, Putin’s statement may seem like a mere attempt to rile up Trump’s base and sow confusion. After all, throughout Trump’s presidency, Russian national television has referred to him as “our partner Donald Trump.” So why the sudden change in tune?
It’s important to remember that Russia has a long history of interfering in U.S.… Continue reading
It seems that the predictions and fears among Republicans are coming true: Trump is running out of money, and he’s going to do whatever it takes to get more. This is a classic move by narcissists, draining their victims of every resource they have. Trump started by love-bombing his base, pretending to care about them unconditionally, and now he’s ready to bankrupt the whole Republican National Committee (RNC).
The question that comes to mind is, why does a billionaire like Trump need to beg for a few hundred million? The answer is simple – he wants to ensure that he can pay his legal bills and maintain his lavish lifestyle.… Continue reading
Austria’s dependence on Russian gas has reached an alarming 98%, a significant increase from the previous figure of 80% just two years ago. This news comes as the country gears up for a national election later this year.
The energy minister of Austria, Leonore Gewessler, has rightly rung the alarm bell, expressing the urgent need for action to reverse this dangerous trend. It is troubling to see such a high level of dependency on Russian gas, especially in the aftermath of the devastating Ukraine war. Gewessler correctly points out that Austria’s slow progress in diversifying its gas imports is a cause for concern, and highlights the dire consequences of this excessive reliance on Russian gas.… Continue reading
Texas neighbors said they tried to sound the alarm about the Houston church shooter for months. Reading about their futile attempts to alert the authorities is both disheartening and anger-inducing. The fact that these concerned citizens were afraid to give their full names, fearing retaliation from the police, speaks volumes about the state of our justice system.
It’s appalling to see how information about this woman’s violent tendencies and mental health issues had been circulating for years, yet no action was taken to prevent the tragic events that unfolded. What happened to the mantra of “if you see something, say something”?… Continue reading
Finally, a Judge Steps Up and Denies a Trump Trial Delay Bid
It’s not often that we see a judge stand up to the powerful and deny their bid for a trial delay. But in the case of former President Donald Trump, that’s exactly what happened. And it’s a small victory for justice.
This particular case may not be the most interesting or high-profile one that Trump is facing, but it’s still significant. He’s facing 34 felony charges for this case alone. If someone from 10 years ago read that a leading US nominee for POTUS was facing such charges, their brain would explode.… Continue reading
