As a Pennsylvania resident, seeing the recent primary results where Donald Trump suffered a significant blow with a substantial portion of his votes going to former candidate Nikki Haley is a clear indication that the tide may be turning against him. Despite winning the primary race with 83.5% of the vote, losing almost 156,000 votes to a candidate who dropped out two months ago is a big red flag for his campaign. It’s not just about the numbers, but the message these votes convey – people are turning on Trump.
The fact that the Democratic Party had 100k more people turn out for their primary than the Republican Party in Pennsylvania is telling.… Continue reading
I am deeply disturbed by the recent news that Justice Clarence Thomas has chosen not to recuse himself from another January 6-related case. It is incredibly troubling to see a Supreme Court Justice, whose duty is to uphold the rule of law and ensure justice is served, fail to remove himself from a case where his personal interests are clearly at play.
The fact that Justice Thomas’s wife, Ginni Thomas, played a role in the events of January 6th and is a known election denier should be reason enough for him to recuse himself from any cases related to this matter.… Continue reading
Team Trump seems to be ready to lose the Supreme Court immunity case, but surprisingly, they’re celebrating. The delay in the trial until after the election seems to be the cause of their jubilation. They have this unwavering confidence that Trump will win the election, and this delay will work in their favor. But as citizens, it’s up to us to rain on their parade by voting for Biden. The Supreme Court’s decision to take up the case ensured an 8 month delay, which was never in doubt.
It’s disheartening to see the system being manipulated in such a blatant manner.… Continue reading
It’s been a whirlwind of a week, to say the least. The news that salaried workers in previously exempt administrative and managerial roles making under $43k/year would now be eligible for overtime pay is a game-changer. And the fact that next year, those making under $58k/year will also be entitled to overtime pay is a significant step towards restoring fairness in the workplace. For the first time since the 1970s, the 40-hour work week is being preserved for the middle class, thanks to President Biden’s new overtime rule.
The introduction of the overtime rule is a clear expression of what Biden calls “middle-out” economics, a philosophy that aims to strengthen the middle class and ensure that hardworking individuals are properly compensated for their time and effort.… Continue reading
Joe Biden keeps sneaking wins past Republicans distracted by Trump. It’s almost as if they are so consumed by their loyalty to Trump that they are missing the victories that Biden is achieving right under their noses. From successfully handling the border deal to passing legislation that helps the average American, Biden continues to prove his effectiveness as a president. It’s unfortunate that his accomplishments often fly under the radar, overshadowed by the sensationalism of Trump’s antics.
The internal strife within the Republican Party only serves to highlight Biden’s success. The fact that some Republicans are willing to work across the aisle and be responsible adults, while others continue to obstruct and bend to Trump’s whims, showcases a clear divide within the party.… Continue reading
We Have Reached the “Murdering Puppies” Stage of Trump VP Auditions: Kristi Noem made a wild admission clearly aimed at Donald Trump.
I can’t believe I actually had to read a headline that involved someone admitting to killing a dog simply because they couldn’t be bothered to train it. The sheer callousness and lack of empathy in such an action is truly disturbing. I mean, we have heard of politicians making questionable decisions, but this takes it to a whole new level. This story left me genuinely bewildered – how can someone openly admit to taking the life of an innocent animal because they couldn’t handle the responsibility of training it?… Continue reading
I cannot believe the level of absurdity and blatant disregard for justice that was displayed by Justice Samuel Alito during the Trump immunity hearing. His logic was beyond belief, and it’s terrifying to think that he is at the center of one of the darkest days in Supreme Court history. The fact that he and other conservative justices on the Court are maneuvering to protect Trump from facing consequences for his actions is a clear indication of the dire state of our judicial system.
The argument that allowing presidents to commit federal crimes without consequence is necessary for the stability of our democracy is not only flawed but dangerous.… Continue reading
Arizona grand jury indicts 11 Republicans who falsely declared Trump won the state in 2020
The recent news of the Arizona grand jury indicting 11 Republicans who falsely declared Trump won the state in 2020 is a cause for celebration. It is a significant step towards holding those who attempted to subvert the will of the American people accountable for their actions. These individuals thought they could get away with overturning the election results and disenfranchising millions of voters, but justice is finally catching up to them.
The fact that these Republicans were so brazen in their attempt to undermine democracy is truly shocking.… Continue reading
Oh, where do I even begin with this absolute circus of a situation regarding Trump’s ongoing criminal trial and the violations of the gag order? It’s truly mind-boggling how someone like Trump and his team can continue to push the limits and blatantly disregard rules and regulations without facing any real consequences. The audacity to think that they can intimidate witnesses, jurors, and court staff through the press and social media is beyond belief. How can anyone expect to maintain any credibility when they are so openly flouting the law and the judicial system?
It’s both frustrating and disheartening to see how Trump and his lawyers are trying to twist the narrative, downplay the seriousness of the situation, and essentially play the victim card.… Continue reading
I cannot help but chuckle at Mitt Romney’s statement, “You don’t pay someone $130,000 not to have sex with you.” It’s not that I think Romney himself is engaging in illicit activities, but his sheer bluntness on the matter is both shocking and amusing. The irony of the situation, coming from someone known for his strong religious beliefs and moral convictions, is not lost on me. It goes to show that even the most unlikely individuals can surprise us with their candidness.
The core issue at hand here is not about the act of paying someone off to keep quiet about a sexual encounter.… Continue reading
