Reading through the details and the reactions of those involved, I can’t help but feel a mix of disbelief, frustration, and deep sadness.
The first point that stands out to me is the lack of supervision and attention given to the toddler in this situation. The fact that the adults allowed the child to walk through a parking lot without closely watching her is simply baffling.… Continue reading

2023 was a devastating year in terms of the number of Americans who died by suicide. More than 50,000 individuals lost their lives, marking the highest number on record. This statistic hits close to home for me, as I personally experienced the loss of loved ones to suicide.

I can’t shake the feeling of utter horror and disgust after seeing the video of the brutal attack on a teenage girl near a high school in St. Louis. The level of violence, the lack of humanity displayed by the attacker, slamming the victim’s head repeatedly on the concrete while she lay defenseless, is beyond comprehension. It wasn’t a fight, it was a savage act of attempted murder.

The family’s plea for no retaliation towards anyone involved in the incident is a testament to their strength and decency in the face of such a senseless act of violence.… Continue reading
I am utterly disgusted by the recent news of an officer who made a man lick urine off a jail floor, pleading guilty to his heinous actions. The fact that this officer, who is supposed to uphold justice and protect those he is responsible for, would stoop to such a degrading and dehumanizing act is beyond comprehension.
It is appalling to me that forcing someone to suck pee off a dirty floor, after denying them access to a restroom, is only considered a misdemeanor. The power dynamics at play in this situation are disturbing, with the officer abusing his position of authority to inflict cruel and unusual punishment on another human being.… Continue reading
An attorney facing criminal charges for illegally accessing Michigan voting machines, Stefanie Lambert, was recently arrested on “local charges” during a hearing in DC. This arrest came after a Michigan judge issued a bench warrant for Lambert for missing a hearing related to her case where she’s charged with four felonies for accessing the voting machines. It’s absolutely mind-boggling to see someone, especially an attorney, show such blatant disregard for the law.
Lambert’s actions, which included stealing voting machines, breaking into them, and claiming that the election was rigged by Serbian Nationals, further highlight the lengths some individuals are willing to go to push their baseless conspiracy theories.… Continue reading
As I dive into the recent ruling by a federal judge affirming that illegal immigrants can possess guns under the Second Amendment, my mind races with thoughts and questions. The intricacies and nuances of constitutional law come to light as we delve into the debate surrounding this controversial decision. The Constitution, often referred to as the bedrock of American society, uses the language of “citizens” and “people” in different contexts. Where it employs the term “people,” it encompasses everyone, not just citizens. Could this be the key to unlocking the rights of all individuals, regardless of their legal status within the United States?… Continue reading
