Iran-backed terrorists have recently made a surprising move, abandoning their positions along the Iraq-Syria border and avoiding phone calls. This comes in the wake of the US vowing revenge for the attack on Jordan. It seems that the tables have turned, and the terrorists are now feeling the fear of being targeted themselves.
For too long, Iran has used its proxies to terrorize the region and hold it hostage. The US has often found itself in a difficult position, damned if it takes action and damned if it doesn’t. But now, it’s time for a smarter call to be made, one that sends a clear message to Iran and its terrorist pawns.… Continue reading
As news broke that E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused Donald Trump of sexual assault, had won an $83.3 million defamation lawsuit against him, my mind couldn’t help but ponder what she planned to do with such a significant sum of money. It’s her money, and she deserves every penny, but the possibilities for doing something good with it are endless.
One suggestion that immediately came to mind was to fund private lab testing for rape kits to ensure that physical evidence of sexual assault is handled professionally and quickly. It is disheartening to know that rape kit backlogs still persist in many states, despite the availability of funding.… Continue reading
Colorado voters seeking to disqualify Trump from the ballot are making a bold and necessary move. As responsible and patriotic citizens, they are doing their civic duty to clean up the mess created by the former president. The stain on US history is not simply Trump’s presidency itself, but his actions that led to the events of January 6.
Many argue that the 14th Amendment should be invoked to bar Trump from running for office again. If the Supreme Court rules against him, it will send a strong message that the Constitution is not to be undermined for political gain. On the other hand, if they rule in his favor, it would confirm the perception that the court has become another political arm.… Continue reading
Shunned in computer age, cursive makes a comeback in California
When I think back to my elementary school days, I distinctly remember the struggle of learning cursive. My teacher would tell us that we needed to learn it because we would use it every day. But as it turns out, I have rarely ever used cursive in my life. It has become nothing more than a novelty, brought out on rare occasions when I’ve had a few glasses of wine and start to talk in a fancy, looped manner.
So, is there really any reason to learn cursive anymore? Some argue that it is just a way to appease older generations who criticize young people for not wasting their time on cursive in school.… Continue reading
Zelensky Publishes Decree on ‘Historically’ Ukrainian Regions, Russia Furious
In recent news, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has published a decree that has sparked outrage and fury from Russia. The decree asserts Ukrainian sovereignty over certain regions that are considered ‘historically’ Ukrainian. This move has ignited a heated debate, with Russia vehemently opposing Ukraine’s claims.
As I delve into this topic, I am reminded of the words of Dmitry Medvedev, who stated, “There is nothing to comment on because Ukrainians are Russians.” While Medvedev’s statement may hold weight for some, I hold a different perspective. The claim that Ukrainians are Russians oversimplifies a complex historical narrative that cannot be reduced to a single, homogeneous identity.… Continue reading
Republicans Who Denounced Biden For Using Too Many Executive Orders Now Urge Him To Use Executive Orders Because They Don’t Want To Legislate
It’s fascinating to witness the hypocrisy of politicians when it comes to executive orders. When former President Trump was in office, Republicans praised his use of executive orders, often turning a blind eye to the potential overreach of his authority. But now that President Biden is utilizing executive orders, these same Republicans are singing a different tune, decrying the “record number” of orders and claiming that Biden is abusing his power. The blatant double standard is both frustrating and indicative of a larger problem within the Republican party.… Continue reading
Boebert finishes fifth in straw poll of new district
Well, well, well, it seems like Boebert’s political career may be coming to an end sooner than she expected. In a recent straw poll of her new district, Boebert finished fifth among the five candidates. And let me tell you, it’s hard to take a straw poll seriously when it’s so hilariously tiny. She only received 12 votes from the debate attendees, which accounted for about 10 percent of the total.
Ahead of her were Logan County Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg, former Colorado House Minority Leader Mike Lynch, Douglas County filmmaker Deborah Flora, and state House Minority Whip Richard Holtorf.… Continue reading
The recent audio release of GOP lawmakers from Ohio and Michigan discussing their intention to ban transgender care for everyone is deeply concerning and further confirms what the trans community has known for a long time. The GOP’s endgame is not about protecting children or promoting the well-being of society; it is about inflicting pain and erasing the LGBTQ+ community.
Their true agenda is to create a society that enforces a Christofascist ideology, where personal freedoms and rights are stripped away from anyone who does not conform to their narrow-minded beliefs. This is not just about transgender individuals; it is about everyone’s rights and access to healthcare.… Continue reading
Busted: Trump repeatedly called for jailing presidents before saying he had immunity
It’s no surprise that Trump is once again caught in the act of hypocrisy. Throughout his presidency, he tirelessly advocated for the imprisonment of other presidents, conveniently disregarding the principles of fairness and justice. It’s the classic case of “rules for thee, not for me.” But what is truly concerning is the underlying authoritarian impulse that these actions reveal.
Trump’s blatant disregard for the law and his insidious desire to have laws that punish others while ensuring his own freedom reflect a dangerous ambition for unchecked power. His legal argument that President Biden could have him, his family, the Supreme Court, and the Senate executed by the military without any intervention from the court unless Congress impeaches him is deeply disturbing.… Continue reading
