I can’t help but feel a deep sense of sadness and empathy after hearing about the missing Mizzou student who disappeared after being served only one drink at a Nashville bar. As someone who has experienced being roofied in the past, I know firsthand how terrifying and vulnerable it can make you feel. The fact that he was kicked out of the bar alone and disoriented is truly heartbreaking. It brings back memories of my own experience, where I was lucky enough to have people looking out for me and ensuring my safety.
The fraternity brothers have also come under scrutiny for not sending someone with him to make sure he got home safely.… Continue reading
Putin’s recent mention of a ‘buffer zone’ is causing quite a stir, with many speculating on the implications of such a statement. The idea of creating a buffer zone to protect Russian territory is not a new concept, but the manner in which Putin is discussing it raises significant concerns. The notion of carving out a large enough area to prevent Western weapons from targeting Russia seems excessive, especially when considering the vast landmass that Russia already occupies.
The similarities drawn between Hitler’s concept of ‘living space’ and Stalin’s creation of the Warsaw Pact as a buffer zone are unsettling. It’s concerning to think about the potential implications of Putin’s desire to establish a demilitarized buffer zone in western Russia to prevent aggressive acts towards neighboring sovereign states.… Continue reading
As I scroll through the internet, I come across a headline that immediately catches my attention – “Romanian Treasure In Moscow: Medvedev Says Romanians Are Not A Nation.” My initial reaction is one of shock and disbelief. How can someone in a position of power make such ignorant and disrespectful remarks about an entire nation of people? It’s appalling and frankly quite embarrassing.
The notion that Romanians are not a nation but merely a “way of life” is not only absurd but also deeply insulting. It is a blatant display of ignorance and arrogance, to dismiss the rich history, culture, and identity of an entire country in such a flippant manner.… Continue reading
I am left in utter disbelief at the recent news of a Senior Hamas commander being killed in the Al Shifa raid. As I read through the comments and opinions swirling around this event, I can’t help but feel a sense of vindication. This individual was not just a mere bystander, but someone actively preventing innocent Palestinians from receiving much-needed humanitarian aid. It is clear that with his death, nothing of value was lost. Good riddance indeed.
It is alarming to think that this Hamas commander was overseeing the distribution of food aid and discouraging locals from working with Israelis to facilitate aid.… Continue reading
As I read the news about Kamala Harris calling for marijuana to be rescheduled as quickly as possible, I can’t help but wonder what took so long for this issue to come to the forefront. The fact that marijuana is currently classified in the same dangerous category as heroin is not only absurd but also patently unfair. It’s time to address this discrepancy and make the necessary changes to allow for the rescheduling of marijuana.
It’s clear that the legalization of marijuana is a winning issue, with significant support across various demographics. The latest Gallup poll shows overwhelming support for legalization, including 87% of Democrats, 70% of independents, and even 55% of Republicans.… Continue reading
Let’s talk about Trump’s recent struggles with trying to secure a bond for a $464 million judgment. The man who claims to be a billionaire, who flaunted his so-called wealth and assets, is now unable to come up with half a billion dollars to post as a bond. The irony is thick here. This is the guy who famously never pays his debts, the guy who has a history of stiffing partners and vendors. And now, when push comes to shove, when faced with a judgment against him, he’s scrambling to find someone, anyone, to front the money for him.
What does this inability to secure a bond say about Trump’s financial standing?… Continue reading
It is high time we bid adieu to the failed economic concept known as trickle-down economics. In its essence, this theory posits that by enriching the wealthy, their prosperity will eventually “trickle down” to benefit the rest of society. However, as we have witnessed over the years, this approach has only served to widen the gap between the rich and the poor, leaving the majority of the population struggling while the top echelon continues to amass wealth.
The recent unveiling of President Biden’s populist budget signifies a bold step towards dismantling the legacy of trickle-down economics. By focusing on measures that seek to uplift the middle and working class, such as childcare subsidies, we are finally seeing a shift towards prioritizing the needs of the many over the few.… Continue reading
Is Donald Trump About to Go Bankrupt? That seems to be the burning question on everyone’s mind these days. The man who claims to be a billionaire is now facing the harsh reality of not having enough funds to cover a bond related to a judgment against him. It’s almost poetic justice, isn’t it? Trump, who built his entire brand on being a successful businessman, is now on the brink of financial collapse. And the irony of it all seems to be lost on him.
From what I can gather, Trump’s financial situation is more precarious than he lets on. Despite his claims of vast wealth, it appears that most of his real estate holdings are heavily leveraged as collateral for other debts.… Continue reading
I always prided myself on being a Gay Black Republican, believing that my values aligned with the party’s core principles. I actively participated in discussions and defended my stance, confident that I belonged. But as I reflect on recent events, I can’t help but feel a sense of betrayal wash over me. The party that I once proudly identified with has revealed its true colors, and it turns out, they were never in alignment with mine.
I turned a blind eye to the lies, the intolerance, and the outright hatred that the party directed towards others. I chose to ignore the signs, hoping that I would be the exception.… Continue reading
As I sit back and observe the latest news in the political world, I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity of some individuals. The recent call from a top Republican to cancel future State of the Union speeches by President Biden is not only shocking but also deeply concerning. Article 2, section 3, clause 1 of the Constitution clearly mandates the president to deliver a State of the Union address, but it seems like some individuals are willing to disregard this foundational document when it doesn’t align with their agenda.
The idea of canceling a tradition that has been upheld for over a century simply because it doesn’t suit a certain party’s interests is not only shortsighted but also dangerous.… Continue reading
