Joe Biden Could Seize Texas National Guard From Greg Abbott in Border Feud

Joe Biden Could Seize Texas National Guard From Greg Abbott in Border Feud

The issue of illegal immigration over the U.S.-Mexico border has been a topic of concern for many years. The surge in numbers, as stated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, is alarming. However, the way Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been handling the situation is nothing short of a political theater. It’s clear that his Operation Lonestar has been nothing more than a waste of time and money.

In an election year, it’s important for Biden to remain patient and rational. He must keep the situation calm and not give in to political theatrics.… Continue reading

Joe Biden Moves To Slash Bank Overdraft Fees With New Rule — “Banks call it a service,” the president said. “I call it exploitation.”

One of the most heated issues of financial discourse in our society today surrounds the ubiquitous and controversial bank overdraft fees. President Joe Biden has recently thrown his hat into the ring, boldly declaring these fees as not a service, but a form of exploitation. I am one with him in this sentiment. For too long, these seemingly innocuous fees have been bleeding consumers dry, especially those who are financially struggling. It indeed felt like a breath of fresh air knowing that someone in power is actively working to slash these fees.

Consider this familiar scenario: You find yourself in a tight spot one month and dip into the negatives, only to discover that on top of an already stressful financial situation, you’ve been charged an additional $30-50 by the bank.… Continue reading

Trump struggles to say the word ‘climate’ and reveals he recently took a cognitive test

Blog Article: Trump Struggles to Say the Word ‘Climate’ and Reveals He Recently Took a Cognitive Test

As I watched the footage of Donald Trump struggling to pronounce the word ‘climate’ at a recent campaign rally in New Hampshire, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, I was not surprised by his difficulty in saying the word, considering his track record of dismissing and downplaying the importance of environmental issues. However, what did surprise me was his revelation that he had recently taken a cognitive test.

Now, cognitive tests are not administered without reason. They are typically given to individuals who are showing symptoms of cognitive decline.… Continue reading

Fake Joe Biden robocall tells New Hampshire Democrats not to vote on Tuesday

Fake Joe Biden robocall tells New Hampshire Democrats not to vote on Tuesday

As I read the headline about a fake Joe Biden robocall urging New Hampshire Democrats not to vote on Tuesday, a rush of emotions ran through me. Disgust, anger, and disbelief, to name a few. How could someone stoop so low to undermine our democracy in such a blatant and shameful way?

It is evident that this act is tantamount to election interference and fraud. Not only does it seek to deceive voters, but it also undermines the very foundations of our democratic system. The fact that these kinds of tactics have been used before, with little to no consequences, only exacerbates the frustration and distrust many of us feel.… Continue reading

Supreme Court allows Biden administration to remove razor wire on US-Mexico border in 5-4 vote

Title: The Supreme Court’s Split Decision on Removing Razor Wire: A Reflection on Constitutional Divisions and Border Control

Introduction:

In a recent headline that caught my attention, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 vote to allow the Biden administration to remove razor wire placed on the US-Mexico border. The potential implications of this decision, along with the differing opinions among the justices, have raised concerns about the division of power, border control, and the principles underlying the Constitution. As I reflect on these themes and sentiments, I find myself grappling with the implications of this split decision and the future of our nation’s immigration policies.… Continue reading

The DeSantis Team Ran the Worst Campaign in History

As a politically-inclined observer who holds a passion for dissecting political campaigns and their impacts on the electorate, I’ve had my fair share of commendable and disappointing experiences debriefing campaign strategies. However, the DeSantis team holds the crown for running what I believe to be the worst campaign in history, and here’s why.

Governor DeSantis began his political escapade with a declaration of war against one of the largest media corporations and employers in his home state. This ill-advised move could only be a testament to a candidate who is in it for power rather than developing compelling policy ideas.

The premise of DeSantis’s campaign showcased a profound misunderstanding of what made Trump attractive to the conservative populace.… Continue reading

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ends presidential campaign

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ends presidential campaign

In a surprising turn of events, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced the end of his once-promising presidential campaign. It seems that his bid to challenge former President Donald Trump for the Republican nomination has come to a swift and anticlimactic halt. As an individual who closely followed DeSantis’s political career, I must admit that this news does not come as a shock.

Throughout his campaign, DeSantis struggled to connect with voters and convince Republicans to swap their loyalty from Trump to him. Despite winning reelection as governor by a landslide in 2022, DeSantis saw his popularity wane even before officially launching his campaign.… Continue reading

Donald Trump slurring words at rally raises questions

As an observer of the political landscape, something that has always concerned me about former President Donald Trump is his undeniable degradation in physical and mental health over the years. This was evident during his presidency and, if anything, it has only gotten worse since then. The recent viral video of Trump slurring his words during a rally indeed raises many questions about his wellbeing and his capacity to fulfill any future leadership roles.

Trump supporters, on the other hand, seem to prefer turning a blind eye to this issue, even in the face of clear deterioration. His followers still laud his actions and behavior, calling them strokes of genius no matter how questionable they may seem.… Continue reading

Sanders: If Netanyahu Says No to Palestinian State, US Must Say No to Netanyahu

Reflecting on recent global events, my mind can’t escape the troubled relationship between Israel and Palestine. This manifestation of conflicts, discrimination, and repression has become the new normal in this region. As an American citizen observing from afar, I’m often naively hopeful for signs of the cessation of these conflicts. And recently, these hopes were further raised by the statement made by Senator Bernie Sanders: “If Netanyahu says no to a Palestinian state, the US must say no to Netanyahu.” This proclamation certainly spurred a fermentation of thoughts in my mind which I’ll share in the rawest form.

I confess that I am not an ardent admirer of Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu, the incumbent permanent representative of Israel.… Continue reading

So you think Texas wants to secede. Here is how that will/won’t work

So you think Texas wants to secede. Here is how that will/won’t work.

Living in Texas, I have heard the talk and rumors about secession for years. It seems to pop up every time there is a Democrat in the White House, as if Texans only want to go their separate way when it suits their political agenda. But let’s be realistic here, secession is not a viable option for Texas, and anyone claiming otherwise is either delusional or trying to provoke a response.

Firstly, there is no realistic mechanism for Texas to secede from the United States. The current Texas government won’t even consider putting it on the ballot for consideration, knowing that it would be a dumpster fire of epic proportions.… Continue reading
