As a former Mormon who still has ties to the community, I can attest to the conservative nature ingrained within the LDS following. Over the years, the alignment with Republican values has been deeply rooted, with figures like Mitt Romney exemplifying that connection. However, the emergence of Donald Trump onto the political scene has ignited a level of discomfort within the Mormon community, particularly due to his divisive rhetoric and questionable moral character.
It’s evident that many Mormons are grappling with the dilemma of supporting a candidate like Trump, who often espouses views and behaviors antithetical to the values they hold dear.… Continue reading
Trust is a fragile thing, easily broken and hard to repair once shattered. In a world where skepticism runs rampant and deceit seems to be the norm, it’s no wonder a viral list titled “Things I Trust More Than Donald Trump” has taken social media by storm. And at the top of that list? Flint, Michigan tap water. Yes, the very water that has been poisoned due to government negligence is considered more trustworthy than the man who once held the highest office in the land.
Gas station sushi, Bill Cosby as a bartender, Taco Bell bathrooms, Tom Brady inflating tires – the list goes on and on, each item more absurd than the last.… Continue reading
This latest move by Donald Trump claiming Taylor Swift endorsed him with AI images is just another display of his desperation and lack of integrity. Trump’s history of making baseless claims and spreading misinformation is well-documented, but this instance takes it to a whole new level. To falsely suggest that Taylor Swift, a highly influential and iconic figure, would support his campaign is not just laughable, but also potentially damaging.
In his typical erratic fashion, Trump made comments about Taylor Swift being beautiful and liberal, indicating that he doubts she would support him. Yet, he still went ahead and posted AI-generated images implying her endorsement.… Continue reading
Trump’s recent question about the necessity of holding an election is a stark reminder of his relentless attempts to undermine democracy. The notion that he is polling at 93%, a number seemingly plucked out of thin air, reeks of desperation and delusion. In his mind, it appears that winning is a foregone conclusion, and any deviation from this outcome will be labeled as theft. This dangerous rhetoric is not just absurd; it is a calculated move to sow doubt and division among his supporters.
The disturbing part is not Trump questioning the need for an election; it is his insidious strategy of priming his base to contest the results if he doesn’t win.… Continue reading
Kamala Harris made her grand entrance at the DNC to the iconic sounds of Beyoncé, and the energy in the room was electric. The standing ovation she received was a testament to the impact she has already made on the American people. The choice to walk out to music that empowers and uplifts was a strategic move that set the tone for her memorable debut.
As I watched Kamala Harris stride confidently onto the stage in her tan suit, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of pride. The symbolism behind the tan suit was not lost on me, as it served as a subtle nod to the legacy of Barack Obama and the faux outrage that surrounded his own choice of attire.… Continue reading
The proposal to raise the corporate tax rate to 28% by Kamala Harris is a step in the right direction. It is not about adding a new tax or being punitive towards businesses; it is simply about restoring a rate that was much higher in the past. Remember when companies used to be taxed at rates of 38-45%? Back in the days when America was deemed “great”? It seems fair that corporations should contribute their fair share just like the rest of us.
The issue at hand is not just about raising the corporate tax rate in isolation. It is about creating a global shift where all Western nations collectively raise their corporate tax rates to avoid companies engaging in ‘tax shopping’ and nations catering to them.… Continue reading
It’s not every day that you hear about a Republican speaking at the Democratic National Convention, but that’s exactly what’s happening this week. Former GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger is set to take the stage on Thursday, the same night Vice President Kamala Harris will be giving her keynote speech. Now, when it comes to politics, I can’t say I’ve always seen eye to eye with Kinzinger. His voting record and policies haven’t always aligned with my own beliefs. But when it comes to integrity and courage, there’s no denying that Kinzinger stands out.
Kinzinger has been one of the few Republicans who had the backbone to stand up to former President Donald Trump while still in office.… Continue reading
I can’t believe the audacity of Donald Trump to share seemingly fake pictures of Taylor Swift and expect not to face backlash. The Swifties, as her loyal fans are affectionately known, are rightfully furious at this blatant attempt to deceive and manipulate. It’s a classic case of poking a hornet’s nest that you definitely do not want to kick.
Donald Trump’s decision to use AI-generated images for propaganda purposes is not only unethical but also potentially illegal. The unlicensed appropriation of likeness is actionable in all 50 states, and it’s surprising that someone running for the highest office in the country would resort to such underhanded tactics.… Continue reading
As I delve into the convoluted financial web that Donald Trump finds himself entangled in, it becomes increasingly evident that the man is not just a failed businessman, but a cunning con artist who has managed to swindle his way through life with audacious disregard for the consequences of his actions. The fact that he owes more than $100 million from lawsuits, as revealed by his financial disclosures, is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to his mountain of debt and legal troubles.
It is absolutely mind-boggling to me that there are still people out there who staunchly support Trump, blindly refusing to see the truth that lies right in front of them.… Continue reading
I can’t help but find the latest drama surrounding Donald Trump both amusing and concerning at the same time. The reports of him bombarding Miriam Adelson, a billionaire Republican supporter, with angry texts accusing her of being involved with his Republican rivals, just highlight the chaos that seems to follow him wherever he goes. It’s almost comical to imagine a former president, known for his fiery tweets, now resorting to childish texts to express his frustrations.
The fact that these texts were sent by Natalie Harp, referred to as “the human printer,” who provided Trump with positive news clippings during his trial in New York, brings a whole new level of absurdity to the situation.… Continue reading
