In the world of politics, there are certain expectations that come with being a public figure, especially a presidential candidate. In recent events at the NABJ event, we witnessed a prime example of how someone in power can unravel when faced with tough questions. The simple inquiry of ‘why should black people vote for you’ seemed to strike a nerve with a certain individual who prides himself on being tough. However, the reaction we saw was far from strong, more akin to a petulant child throwing a tantrum.
This reaction is not only concerning but also telling of a deeper issue at hand.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s recent comments at the National Association of Black Journalists panel regarding Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris have once again sparked outrage and disbelief among many, myself included. The audacity and ignorance displayed by the President is truly astonishing. To insinuate that Senator Harris “used to be Indian…until a few years ago when she happened to turn black” is not only offensive but shows a blatant disregard for the complexity and diversity of racial identity.
It is no secret that Trump has a long history of making racist and derogatory remarks, but his latest comments seem to reach a new low.… Continue reading
It’s truly disheartening to see individuals in positions of power and influence leveraging their platforms to spread misinformation and manipulate the truth. The recent incident involving Elon Musk sharing a manipulated video of Vice President Kamala Harris is not only ethically questionable but also seems to be in violation of certain policies and guidelines set forth by the platform in question. The video, which twists Ms. Harris’s words to portray her in a negative light, is a blatant attempt to deceive and manipulate the public.
The fact that this video was shared by someone with such a massive following and influence is incredibly concerning.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent flip-flopping on Biden’s age suitability for the presidency is a prime example of his desperation and lack of integrity. It’s amusing to witness how quickly he changes his tune now that he’s the oldest candidate in the race. It’s as if he’s trying to distract from his own shortcomings by shifting the focus onto Biden once again. But let’s not forget that Trump himself is no spring chicken.
The sheer audacity of Trump to claim that Biden wasn’t ‘too old’ to be president after months of ridiculing him is simply mind-boggling. It’s a classic case of gaslighting and hypocrisy that we’ve unfortunately grown accustomed to from the current president.… Continue reading
I cannot wrap my head around the audacity of J.D. Vance’s statement urging the right to ‘go to war’ with people who don’t want kids. As someone who has never felt the desire to have children, I find this notion utterly ridiculous. It seems like just another ploy to divide us further and incite unnecessary conflict.
The idea that everyone can be an exceptional mother or father is simply not rooted in reality. Not everyone is cut out to be a parent, and that is perfectly okay. Each individual has the right to make decisions about their own life without facing judgment or condemnation from others, especially from a political figure like Vance.… Continue reading
President Trump’s recent statement declaring, “We crushed it,” following his disastrous interview, is both baffling and concerning. The disconnect between reality and his perception of success is glaringly evident in his claim, raising questions about his ability to accept failure and face the truth head-on. Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, he continues to spin a distorted narrative that leaves many scratching their heads in disbelief.
The sheer audacity of his assertion is striking, considering the widespread criticism and backlash he faced in the aftermath of the interview. His inability to acknowledge his shortcomings and instead opting to paint a rosy picture of his performance speaks volumes about his character and temperament.… Continue reading
Amidst the backdrop of racial tension and social unrest, the news that Donald Trump has been invited to speak at a convention for Black journalists in Chicago has sparked significant controversy and backlash. The idea of Trump addressing a gathering of journalists from the Black community seems almost inconceivable, given his history of racist remarks and actions. The very notion of him engaging with a demographic he has consistently denigrated raises numerous questions about his motives and the potential outcomes of such an event.
I can’t help but wonder what Trump hopes to achieve by speaking at this convention. Is it an attempt to mend political fences and garner support within a community that has largely been marginalized and attacked by his administration?… Continue reading
Lara Trump’s recent comments comparing Vice President Kamala Harris to a designer ‘trash bag’ have once again highlighted the absurdity and lack of substance in the political discourse coming from the Trump camp. It’s ironic that someone like Lara Trump, whose main claim to fame is her marriage to Eric Trump, feels qualified to critique the qualifications and appearance of one of the highest-ranking political figures in the United States.
The fact that Lara Trump would stoop so low as to make such a baseless and shallow comparison speaks volumes about the level of discourse and maturity in today’s political landscape.… Continue reading
Green Day, a band synonymous with punk rock rebellion, has once again found itself at the center of controversy. This time, it’s over their anti-‘MAGA agenda’ lyric that has triggered conservative rage. But really, are we surprised? Green Day has always been unapologetically political, standing firm in their beliefs and using their platform to speak out against injustice and tyranny.
The irony of conservatives being outraged by Green Day’s lyrics is almost comical. These are the same individuals who proudly proclaimed “Fuck your feelings” for four years under the Trump administration. Yet now, when faced with dissenting opinions, they seem to have conveniently forgotten their own advice.… Continue reading
J.D. Vance Can’t Stop Saying the Dumbest Things Imaginable. Just when you thought the cringe-worthy comments couldn’t get any worse, he manages to outdo himself time and time again. From advocating for a “federal response” to women seeking abortions across state lines to his bizarre fascination with furniture, Vance has a knack for making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
It’s truly baffling how someone could consistently put their foot in their mouth with such precision. Vance seems to have a gift for saying the most outrageous and tone-deaf things imaginable, making you wonder if there is any filter between his brain and his mouth.… Continue reading
