‘Why Can’t We Go Back?’ Christian Nationalist State Sen. Dusty Deevers Wants To Go Back To The 1600s

I can’t wrap my mind around State Senator Dusty Deevers’ desire to turn back the clock and go back to the 1600s. The very idea seems absurd and, quite frankly, terrifying. The 1600s were a time of great turmoil, with political and religious conflicts tearing Europe apart. Life expectancy was drastically lower, women had few rights, and scientific progress was stifled by superstition. It was a time when the church held immense power, often to the detriment of society.

It boggles my mind that there are people like Senator Deevers who long for such a backwards and regressive time. The advances we have made in terms of human rights, gender equality, and medical and technological innovation are incredible and worth celebrating.… Continue reading

GOP so ‘stupid’ that Russia ‘can feed disinfo straight into their veins’: Morning Joe

The GOP’s relationship with Russia has been a topic of discussion for quite some time now, with recent comments from Morning Joe shining a spotlight on the issue once again. It’s truly shocking to see how easily Russia can feed disinformation straight into the veins of some Republican members of Congress. The fact that Russian security services are able to send unfiltered propaganda directly to lawmakers is a cause for concern, to say the least.

What’s even more concerning is the motivation behind this willingness to accept Russian propaganda. As Morning Joe pointed out, Republicans seem to hate Joe Biden more than they fear Vladimir Putin.… Continue reading

GOP senator responds to people who say he wants to take America back to 1800s: ‘I want to go back much further than that’

As I read through the comments and reactions to the GOP senator’s statement about wanting to take America back much further than the 1800s, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of incredulity, frustration, and concern. The idea that someone in a position of power could entertain the notion of regressing society to a time when slavery, witch trials, and persecution ran rampant is not only disturbing but also deeply misguided.

It’s clear that the senator’s words have struck a chord with many, as evidenced by the passionate responses from a wide range of individuals. The disdain and disbelief expressed towards his comments reflect a shared sentiment of disbelief that such archaic and regressive ideals could still hold sway in our modern society.… Continue reading

A Canadian family flees to Russia only to have their assets frozen and are now desperate to leave.

A Canadian family flees to Russia only to have their assets frozen and are now desperate to leave. This story is a perfect example of the consequences of ignorance and blind ideology. The family made a rash decision to move to a foreign country without even bothering to learn the language or truly understand the political and social landscape they were entering. Their misguided belief that Russia would offer them the freedom and lifestyle they desired has backfired in the most spectacular way.

The irony of the situation is almost comical. These individuals, driven by their anti-human rights beliefs and desire to escape what they perceived as an oppressive society in Canada, found themselves in a situation that is far worse than anything they could have imagined.… Continue reading

Measles erupts in Florida school where 11% of kids are unvaccinated

Measles erupting in a Florida school where 11% of kids are unvaccinated is not just a statistic; it’s a heartbreaking example of the consequences of misinformation and ignorance. The highly contagious nature of measles means that just one unvaccinated individual can spread the disease to others in a matter of moments, putting not only themselves at risk but also those around them, including vulnerable newborns. It’s easy to blame the anti-vaxxers in this situation, and rightfully so. The decision to forego vaccinations for their children is not just a personal choice; it is a reckless disregard for the health and safety of those who cannot protect themselves.… Continue reading

Russian state TV mocks Donald Trump supporters | Maxim Yusin, a Russian journalist and political commentator, says: “The majority of people who vote for Trump are not very smart primitive people with whom you need to talk like this, with cliches and dumb slogans.”

It’s a strange feeling to find oneself agreeing with Russian state TV, especially when it comes to mocking Donald Trump supporters. Maxim Yusin, a Russian journalist and political commentator, hit the nail on the head when he said, “The majority of people who vote for Trump are not very smart primitive people with whom you need to talk like this, with cliches and dumb slogans.” And, as much as I hate to admit it, he’s not wrong.

When I see the blind loyalty and unwavering support that some Trump supporters display, it’s hard not to see where Yusin is coming from.… Continue reading

Alabama Supreme Court Cites the Bible in Classifying Fertilized Eggs as Children

As someone who values the principle of the separation of church and state, I am deeply troubled by the recent ruling of the Alabama Supreme Court that cited the Bible in classifying fertilized eggs as children. This decision not only goes against the fundamental idea of keeping religion out of the legal system but also raises significant concerns about the erosion of reproductive rights and personal freedoms.

I find it alarming that a judicial body would refer to religious texts to justify a legal ruling, especially in a country that prides itself on the Constitution’s promise of freedom of religion. Are we now living in a theocratic dictatorship where religious beliefs dictate our laws?… Continue reading

Trump supporters start GoFundMe page for $355M fine

Trump supporters have taken their unwavering loyalty to the next level by starting a GoFundMe page to pay off the staggering $355 million fine imposed on the former president. It’s both astounding and baffling to witness how these individuals are so blindly devoted to a man who has continuously proven himself to be corrupt and self-serving. The sheer absurdity of this situation highlights the cult-like mentality that surrounds Trump and his supporters, where they are willing to sacrifice their own financial well-being to appease their idol.

The fine in question is the result of fraudulent practices that Trump engaged in during his time in office, yet his supporters seem eager to rally behind him and financially support his legal defense.… Continue reading

Truckers for Trump are refusing to drive to New York City after $350m fraud ruling

As a trucker who is part of the Trump supporting community, it’s disheartening to see the recent news about truckers refusing to drive to New York City after a $350 million fraud ruling. The decision to boycott deliveries to the city in response to this ruling is certainly a bold move, but is it the right one?

While it’s understandable that individuals may feel strongly about their political beliefs, should this really impact their ability to do their job? Trucking is a profession that requires reliability and efficiency, and refusing to transport goods to a major city like New York because of a court ruling seems counterproductive.… Continue reading

Trump tells supporters his $355 million fraud fine is election interference

It’s truly amazing how Trump manages to twist every event, every situation, into a narrative of election interference. From his fraudulent fines to the weather outside, everything seems to be a ploy against him running for office again. It’s almost comical how his supporters blindly follow along, convinced that he is the victim in every scenario. I find it both baffling and concerning that he can manipulate the facts so easily in front of the world, with the US media seemingly giving him a pass for his outlandish claims.

The fact that Trump can stand in front of a crowd and declare that his fraud fines are election interference, without any regard for the reality of his actions, is a testament to his ability to play the victim card whenever convenient.… Continue reading
