Honestly, the drama unfolding within the GOP is both entertaining and exhausting at the same time. Mike Johnson suddenly seems to be ready to take a stand against the MAGA crowd by considering a standalone vote on Ukraine aid. It’s like watching a soap opera filled with power struggles, betrayal, and backstabbing, except it’s playing out in the House of Representatives.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, the controversial figure known for her outrageous statements and radical views, is probably fuming at the idea of Johnson going against the MAGA agenda. But let’s be real, who really cares about her opinions anyway? She’s been a lightning rod for controversy and divisiveness within the party, and it’s about time someone stood up to her antics.… Continue reading
As a black gay Republican, I cannot ignore the fact that my political affiliation goes against the grain of what many would expect. The recent incident where a Missouri Republican heckled another black gay Republican at a MAGA event brings to light the complexities and challenges of navigating conservative spaces as a minority within a minority group.
It is disheartening to see the lack of empathy and understanding displayed towards individuals who choose to align themselves with a political party that does not always have their best interests at heart. The comments and reactions from others only serve to highlight the internal struggles that black, gay Republicans often face when trying to find their place within a party that may not fully accept or support them.… Continue reading
It’s truly astounding how the truth can accidentally slip out of the mouths of Republicans, especially when they are so accustomed to spinning lies and misinformation. The recent flub by the new RNC chair, Michael Watley, where he fumbled through a statement about America being better off now than under Trump, is a perfect example of this. It’s almost comical how he tried to backtrack and stumble over his own words, but the accidental truth had already been spoken.
Let’s face it, the Trump administration was a disaster for America. From his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic to his divisive rhetoric and inability to lead effectively, it’s no surprise that the country is in a better place under President Biden.… Continue reading
Former Vice President Mike Pence will not endorse Trump for president. This news has sparked quite a reaction across the political spectrum. Some may find it surprising, while others see it as a small glimmer of integrity in an otherwise tumultuous political landscape. The fact that Pence, who served as Trump’s right-hand man for four years, is choosing not to endorse him speaks volumes about the state of the Republican Party and the aftermath of Trump’s term in office.
Perhaps one reason Pence has chosen not to endorse Trump is due to the events of January 6th. The fact that Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building, some chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” may have left a lasting impact on the former Vice President.… Continue reading
Steve Bannon suggests Donald Trump has been bought. As if this is groundbreaking news, the fact that Trump can be swayed by money or personal gain is not a shock to anyone who has been paying attention. From his business dealings to his time in office, it has always been clear that Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to benefit himself, even if it means sacrificing the well-being of the country he was elected to serve.
The recent shift in Trump’s stance on TikTok is a perfect example of his willingness to change his position based on financial incentives.… Continue reading
The GOP’s impeachment farce is imploding, and the real culprit is Trump. The entire debacle is built on lies and baseless accusations, with no evidence to support their claims. The recent attempt by Representative James Comer to set up a public hearing with Hunter Biden was nothing more than a dog and pony show, with the lawyer’s response letter calling out the baseless nature of the proceedings. It’s clear that the GOP’s impeachment inquiry was dead from the start, but they continue to cling to it in a desperate attempt to tarnish the reputation of Joe Biden.
The Republicans’ plan to send referrals to the Justice Department recommending prosecutions as an “exit strategy” from impeachment only underscores the absurdity of the entire situation.… Continue reading
I find it both fascinating and frustrating how the media can twist a story to fit a specific narrative. The recent news of Joe Biden taking the lead over Donald Trump in two polls has sparked a flurry of reactions from various individuals. Some are quick to dismiss the polls entirely, urging people to focus on the act of voting rather than getting caught up in the numbers. And I have to agree; at the end of the day, it is the vote that truly matters, not the fluctuating statistics of polls.
The notion of a “stunning lead” in the polls seems to be a point of contention for many.… Continue reading

It is truly alarming and disheartening to see the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, continue to spout dangerous and delusional rhetoric at his recent rally in Ohio. Trump’s ominous warnings of a ‘bloodbath’ and the end of elections if he is not reelected showcase his authoritarian tendencies and lack of regard for democracy.
The fact that he would stoop to such fear-mongering tactics speaks volumes about his character and intentions. It is appalling that a candidate for the highest office in the country would make such inflammatory statements, threatening the very foundation of our democratic process.
Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, his repeated claims of voter fraud, and now his dire warnings about the future of elections if he is not reelected are clear signs of a man who will stop at nothing to retain power.… Continue reading
When I heard President Biden’s response to Senator Katie Britt’s SOTU rebuttal, my first thought was, “Wow, that was kind of him.” Biden’s comment, “I thought she was a very talented woman,” seemed to be the most gracious version of a southern “Bless your heart” response. But then, as I delved deeper into the context of Senator Britt’s speech, I started to understand the subtle shade in Biden’s words.
Senator Britt, a first-term senator, decided to take aim at Biden on issues such as high prices at the grocery store, the situation at the U.S. southern border, and crime in cities – issues that are not directly controlled by the Executive Office.… Continue reading
This situation is beyond concerning. The idea that a judge, who seems to have close ties to Trump, may be signaling that she will “get rid” of the case against him is nothing short of frightening. The delays, the lack of progress, and the evident bias all point to a justice system that is failing to hold those in power accountable. The fact that this case is related to classified materials, potential obstruction of justice, and conspiracy makes it even more alarming.
It’s clear that Judge Cannon’s actions are not in line with what justice should look like. The delays, the lack of urgency, and the apparent favoritism towards Trump are all red flags.… Continue reading
