I always prided myself on being a Gay Black Republican, believing that my values aligned with the party’s core principles. I actively participated in discussions and defended my stance, confident that I belonged. But as I reflect on recent events, I can’t help but feel a sense of betrayal wash over me. The party that I once proudly identified with has revealed its true colors, and it turns out, they were never in alignment with mine.
I turned a blind eye to the lies, the intolerance, and the outright hatred that the party directed towards others. I chose to ignore the signs, hoping that I would be the exception.… Continue reading
As I sit back and observe the latest news in the political world, I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity of some individuals. The recent call from a top Republican to cancel future State of the Union speeches by President Biden is not only shocking but also deeply concerning. Article 2, section 3, clause 1 of the Constitution clearly mandates the president to deliver a State of the Union address, but it seems like some individuals are willing to disregard this foundational document when it doesn’t align with their agenda.
The idea of canceling a tradition that has been upheld for over a century simply because it doesn’t suit a certain party’s interests is not only shortsighted but also dangerous.… Continue reading
As I read through the outrageous claims made by Right-Wing Evangelical Pastor Jesse Duplantis, I couldn’t help but feel a mixture of disbelief and frustration. The audacity of suggesting that Jesus hasn’t returned because people haven’t donated enough cash is simply mind-boggling. It’s as if he’s treating the return of the Messiah as a transaction that can be expedited with monetary contributions. The level of manipulation and exploitation at play here is truly disheartening.
It’s perplexing to think that there are individuals who fall for such blatant scams and continue to pour their hard-earned money into the pockets of these so-called “evangelists.”… Continue reading
Nancy Mace, a name that has recently made waves in headlines, but not for the most flattering reasons. The South Carolina Congresswoman has found herself at the center of controversy after calling on none other than Donald Trump to sue an ABC host for what she claims is ‘rape-shaming’. Let’s unpack this, shall we?
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room – the sheer audacity of asking a man with a laundry list of allegations against him for sexual misconduct to come to your aid in a situation like this is mind-boggling. It’s like asking a thief to help you catch a robber, it just doesn’t make sense.… Continue reading
As I read about the residents of Salisbury, Massachusetts who invested $500,000 in a sand dune to protect their beachfront homes, I couldn’t help but shake my head at the sheer audacity of their decision. Who in their right mind would think that a pile of sand could stand a chance against the relentless power of the ocean? The comments left me both bemused and exasperated, with many pointing out the folly of using sand as an erosion control measure. It seems like common sense, doesn’t it? Sand washes away, that’s just what sand does when faced with the might of the tides.… Continue reading
When I first heard about the shocking comments made by Aaron Rodgers, calling the 20 kids killed at Sandy Hook ‘actors’ in private conversations, I was absolutely appalled. It is beyond comprehension how anyone could deny the reality of such a tragic event, especially one as horrifying as the Sandy Hook school shooting. These were innocent children who lost their lives in a senseless act of violence, and to suggest that they were merely acting is not only insensitive, but also deeply disturbing.
It is truly disheartening to see someone in the public eye, like Aaron Rodgers, perpetuate such harmful conspiracy theories.… Continue reading
Andrew Tate was arrested after Adin Ross blabbed about his escape plans. It is truly baffling how someone who claims to be an alpha male could be so careless as to text their plans to escape law enforcement. The sheer audacity and lack of foresight in such actions make me question the very concept of what it means to be an alpha male. The fact that Tate’s friend misconstrued his message only adds to the comedic aspect of the situation.
The online reactions to Tate’s arrest are a mix of mockery, disbelief, and a sense of justice being served. It is hard to fathom why someone would choose to escape if they are truly innocent, as the act of fleeing only serves to incriminate oneself further.… Continue reading
Let’s talk about Trump and defamation suits, shall we? It seems like every time we turn around, he’s opening himself up to yet another lawsuit. The latest one comes from E. Jean Carroll, who previously sued him for defamation after he denied her sexual assault allegations. And now, it looks like he’s welcoming a whole new lawsuit with open arms.
I mean, how many times does someone have to tell Trump to just stop talking? The man is a walking disaster when it comes to lawsuits, corruption charges, and all sorts of criminal behavior. He can’t seem to keep his mouth shut, and it’s costing him big time.… Continue reading
It’s both alarming and disheartening to witness the downward spiral that Donald Trump seems to be on. As he reaches the same age that his supporters criticized Joe Biden for during the last election, it’s clear that Trump’s own deterioration is no longer something that can be ignored. The signs are there, plain for all to see, yet MAGA voters either don’t notice or simply don’t care about the state of their chosen leader.
The rise of QAnon and other conspiracy theories within the GOP base has only added to this disturbing trend. Trump’s obvious mental decline doesn’t even register amidst the incoherent babble of these far-fetched ideologies.… Continue reading
Lara Trump’s recent statement claiming that conservatives are now the counterculture and it is cool to be a conservative is not only laughable but also incredibly out of touch with reality. The idea that embracing conservative values is somehow rebellious or edgy goes against everything that counterculture stands for.
This notion is nothing new, as it seems like every few years, conservatives try to rebrand themselves as the new punk rock. However, the reality is far from it. The conservative ideology is rooted in authoritarianism, not rebellion against the status quo. It is about upholding traditional values and maintaining the existing power structures, which are the opposite of what counterculture movements aim to achieve.… Continue reading
