House Republicans pushing to rename D.C.’s Dulles airport after Donald Trump is a blatant display of misplaced priorities and unwavering loyalty to a deeply divisive and controversial figure. In the grand scheme of things, does naming an airport after a soon-to-be convicted felon and widely regarded as the worst president in our nation’s history seem like a worthwhile endeavor? Rep. Gerry Connolly’s suggestion to name a federal prison after Trump seems far more fitting given the looming legal troubles he faces.
The airport currently bears the name of John Foster Dulles, a figure who played a significant role in American history during the Cold War era.… Continue reading
Johnson’s claim that the J6 rioters and insurrectionists were just “happening to be walking through the building” is not only ludicrous but dangerously misleading. The events of that day, January 6th, 2021, are seared into our collective memory. We witnessed a violent mob storm the Capitol, breach security barriers, break windows and doors, assault law enforcement officers, and vandalize government property. To dismiss these actions as simply a stroll through a building is to gaslight the entire nation.
The fact that some individuals resorted to smearing feces in the hallways of the U.S. Capitol only underscores the depravity and lawlessness that unfolded that day.… Continue reading
As a woman who values my freedom and autonomy, the recent incident involving a woman being taken off a Delta flight for not wearing a bra has left me feeling outraged and perplexed. Reading about Lisa Archbold’s experience, where airline staff allegedly took issue with her clothing despite her wearing the same attire any man might wear, raises important questions about where Delta draws the line and who gets to judge what is acceptable attire. The fact that she mentioned having a chest smaller than many men on the flight further emphasizes the absurdity of the situation. Why should women be policed and discriminated against for not conforming to outdated and patriarchal standards of dress?… Continue reading
As I sit here reflecting on the latest controversy stirred up by none other than former President Trump, who is demanding an apology from President Biden for recognizing March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility, I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief and frustration. The audacity of Trump and his allies to condemn Biden for acknowledging the rights and existence of a marginalized community is truly appalling. It speaks volumes about the priorities and values of those who seek to divide and discriminate rather than uplift and support all individuals.
It is mind-boggling to see the uproar caused by a simple gesture of inclusivity and acceptance towards transgender Americans.… Continue reading
Donald Trump may be in a bit of a pickle as reports suggest that he might fire his legal team in a desperate attempt to delay his impending trial. But hold on a second, is this just another delay tactic from the man who seems to excel at dodging accountability? It seems so. But let’s break it down a bit further.
If Trump indeed decides to part ways with his legal team, it’s not going to be a walk in the park for him. The judge will ultimately decide whether he can fire his attorneys and proceed with the trial without representation.… Continue reading
I am absolutely disgusted by the latest attack from Trump on a judge’s daughter, this time including photos. The level of audacity and depravity displayed by this man is utterly appalling. The fact that he continues to spew such vile behavior with seemingly no consequences is mind-boggling. I cannot fathom how someone like him is allowed to get away with this kind of behavior.
It is infuriating to see how someone like Trump, who is supposed to be held to a higher standard as a public figure, can continuously attack and threaten individuals without facing any real repercussions. If any ordinary citizen were to behave in a similar manner, they would likely find themselves behind bars in no time.… Continue reading
As a woman living in Texas, I am absolutely appalled by the recent call by Texas Republicans for the execution of women who receive abortions. The idea that my own state’s politicians are advocating for such extreme and inhumane measures against women simply for making personal healthcare decisions is beyond disturbing. It is a blatant violation of women’s rights and autonomy.
The fact that these Republican officials are not only pushing for the death penalty for women who have abortions but also for those who undergo IVF procedures is a chilling display of their misogynistic and oppressive views. The idea that women should be punished for exercising control over their own bodies is abhorrent and goes against all principles of human rights and dignity.… Continue reading
I have been following the recent uproar over the GOP-aligned organization’s call for the abolition of presidential term limits, potentially paving the way for a potential ‘Trump in 2028’ scenario. The idea of a president serving more than two terms goes against the core principles of democracy that our country was built upon. The thought of Trump potentially being in office for an extended period is certainly unsettling to many, considering his controversial and divisive reign during his first term.
As I read through the various comments and opinions on this matter, it is clear that there are strong feelings on both sides of the argument.… Continue reading
I can’t wrap my head around why anyone would want to listen to Kyle Rittenhouse speak at a university. What could this murderer possibly have to offer in terms of value or insight? It baffles me that colleges and universities are giving a platform to someone who took the lives of two individuals. It’s a disturbing example of the direction our country is heading in when we glorify individuals like Rittenhouse.
The fact that Rittenhouse was able to speak at Western Kentucky University is shocking to me. How can someone with such a lack of education and moral compass be allowed to address an audience of students seeking knowledge and growth?… Continue reading
Nancy Mace’s recent attempt to blame Biden’s infrastructure law after a ship strike collapses a Baltimore bridge is not only ludicrous but also a reflection of her political agenda. It is quite astonishing to witness how some individuals are quick to point fingers and deflect responsibility in the face of a tragic incident. The truth of the matter is that accidents happen, and in this case, a powerful ship colliding with a bridge is a clear result of unforeseen circumstances rather than a political agenda.
The weight and force of a ship moving at 9 mph is astronomical, and to attribute such a collision to a political figure is not only illogical but also irresponsible.… Continue reading
