I have to admit, when I first heard about the Fox host’s comments regarding Tim Walz not being masculine because he drank a milkshake with a straw, I had to chuckle. I mean, who even drinks a milkshake without a straw? The idea that masculinity is somehow tied to the way a person drinks a milkshake is not only absurd but also incredibly outdated.
It’s interesting to see how some individuals try to equate certain behaviors or actions with masculinity, as if there is a definitive checklist that one must adhere to in order to be considered manly. The truth is, masculinity is not a one-size-fits-all concept.… Continue reading
The recent mockery Donald Trump faced over his response to a childcare question is just another example of his towering stupidity on full display. As an individual who is supposed to represent the highest office in the country, his lack of coherent policy answers and nonsensical ramblings are nothing short of embarrassing. One cannot help but wonder how a man with such limited understanding and articulation could have held such a position of power for so long.
It is evident that Trump’s response to childcare affordability was nothing more than a jumble of words that failed to address the actual issue at hand.… Continue reading
Right-wing influencers were duped to work for a covert Russian influence operation, US says. The term “duped” doesn’t quite capture the reality of the situation. These influencers willingly went along, knowing full well who was funding their efforts and why. The idea that they were innocently taken advantage of seems far-fetched when considering the money and incentives involved.
I find it perplexing how some individuals were able to see through the facade from the very beginning, while others fell prey to manipulation. Back in 2016, when the signs were already apparent to me, I warned a friend to look into the dollar/ruble exchange rate.… Continue reading
“You have no choice.” These words, spoken by Donald Trump, are both arrogant and misleading. The idea that we, as voters, are somehow backed into a corner and must choose him is absurd. The polls clearly indicate that many are considering the alternative, and for good reason.
When faced with the prospect of voting for Trump, it becomes glaringly obvious that the alternative is far more appealing. The current president has shown time and time again that his loyalties shift based on what suits him best in the moment. His lack of consistency and questionable ethics make him a dangerous choice for the future of our country.… Continue reading
I can’t even begin to wrap my head around the audacity of someone like Fox News host Jesse Watters trying to dictate who is and isn’t masculine. The sheer irony of a man who looks and sounds like the stereotypical snobby rich kid from an eighties movie passing judgment on another person’s masculinity is simply mind-boggling. It’s as if he’s the poster child for insecurity himself, trying to compensate for something he lacks.
Let’s take a step back and really think about the logic behind Watters’ criticism of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz simply because he used a straw. The fact that someone would equate using a straw for a milkshake to a lack of masculinity is not only absurd but also reeks of ignorance and toxic masculinity.… Continue reading
I am deeply disturbed by the recent comments made by GA Rep. Mike Collins regarding the tragic issue of gun control in our schools. In the wake of yet another devastating school shooting, instead of addressing the urgent need for gun control measures, he has chosen to deflect the conversation towards the need for “more Jesus in schools”. As a concerned citizen, I find this response not only irresponsible but also dangerous.
The idea that introducing more religious elements into our schools will somehow prevent gun violence is not only nonsensical but also completely irrelevant to the issue at hand. The separation of church and state is a fundamental principle of our democracy, and it is deeply concerning that a public official would advocate for blurring those lines in such a pivotal debate.… Continue reading
Trump and the word “weird” seem to go hand in hand, with him repeating it a whopping 22 times in just 36 seconds. It’s almost comical how fixated he is on not being seen as weird when his behavior often contradicts that. It’s reminiscent of how my grandmother, affected by dementia, would get stuck on words or phrases and repeat them endlessly. But in Trump’s case, it seems more like a desperate attempt to deflect from the truth.
The irony is palpable as Trump insists, “We’re not weird.” It’s like a child vehemently denying something they know to be true. The more he protests, the more suspicious it all seems.… Continue reading
I find J.D. Vance’s flippant suggestion that the solution to our childcare crisis is simply having grandma or grandpa step in to help out quite out of touch with reality. As a retiree myself, I can attest to the fact that energy levels and financial constraints play a significant role in the ability of grandparents to provide childcare on a full-time basis. Many of us are still working well into our 60s and 70s, just trying to make ends meet and save for retirement.
The notion that grandparents can afford to stay home and look after their grandchildren for free is nothing short of wishful thinking.… Continue reading
It never ceases to amaze me how far some individuals will go to discredit and dehumanize others, especially when it comes to women in positions of power. The recent demand by ex-Trump adviser Peter Navarro to stop using Vice President Kamala Harris’s first name because it supposedly “personalizes her” is not only absurd but also blatantly disrespectful.
The idea that using Harris’s first name somehow makes her more relatable is seen as a threat by some, as if acknowledging her personhood is a sign of weakness. The fact that Navarro and others feel the need to control how she is referred to speaks volumes about their insecurities and underlying biases.… Continue reading
I cannot believe the audacity of Elon Musk to suggest replacing democracy with a government of ‘high-status males’. This idea reeks of elitism and privilege, completely disregarding the principles of equality and representation that are essential for a functioning democracy. The notion of a select group of wealthy men ruling over the masses is disturbing and reminiscent of a dystopian society, not a fair and just system of governance.
It is troubling to see someone with such immense influence and wealth promote such a regressive and exclusionary concept. The idea of a ‘high-status male’ government is not only discriminatory but also fails to acknowledge the diverse perspectives and experiences that are crucial for effective decision-making in society.… Continue reading
