In a shocking turn of events, the GOP is poised to kill the border-Ukraine package that it initially demanded. It’s clear that most Republicans have no interest in continuing the debate that has divided their party even further. The GOP now wants to move on, conveniently forgetting that they were the ones who pushed for linking border policy changes with aid to Ukraine.
The White House has strongly opposed this reversal, stating that it does nothing to secure the border or help Ukraine defend itself against Putin’s aggression. The GOP’s actions also neglect the security of American synagogues, mosques, and vulnerable places of worship, as well as deny humanitarian assistance to Palestinian civilians, many of whom are women and children.… Continue reading
Joe Biden rages at Donald Trump in angriest speech yet
As I sit down to write this article, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement and admiration for President Joe Biden. The recent news of his fiery speech directed at Donald Trump has reignited my hope for a stronger, more assertive Democratic party. It’s about time we see someone calling out Trump for the corrupt and morally bankrupt person he truly is.
One of the standout moments from Biden’s speech was when he passionately exclaimed, “Suckers and losers the guy said.” These words hit home for me as a proud Army veteran with friends and comrades who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.… Continue reading
Mortgage rates have jumped back over 7% as stronger economic data rolls in. This news comes as a surprise to many who were hopeful that the rates would continue their downward trend. The previous decrease in rates was largely speculative, with hopes that the Federal Reserve would cut the funds rate in March. However, with strong job data and the Fed suggesting the need for more patience, it makes sense that the rates have gone back up.
As someone who is currently in the market for a house, these rising rates are disheartening. The dream of homeownership is slowly slipping away as the interest rates become more and more unfavorable.… Continue reading
As a Swedish and Jewish individual, the news of an Iranian intelligence suspected plot to kill Swedish Jews is deeply alarming and disheartening. It is unfortunate that this kind of news is not surprising, given Iran’s history of targeting Jewish people around the world. This plot further demonstrates the dangerous ideology that drives Iranian intelligence.
One can’t help but wonder what is going on with Iran right now. The country seems to be engaged in various forms of aggression, including attempts to kill Jews in different countries, bombings of US bases, and hiring criminal organizations like Hells Angels. Their game plan seems to be driven by a mix of global violence, anti-Semitism, and anti-Western sentiment.… Continue reading
Most Republicans aren’t aware of Trump’s various legal issues. It’s a shocking revelation, but not entirely surprising. As I dug deeper into this issue, I came across a YouGov poll that revealed only 45 percent of Republicans were aware of Trump’s legal troubles. These legal troubles include cases like the documents case, his liability for assaulting E. Jean Carroll, the value-inflation suit, and the criminal charges in Manhattan related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.
So why aren’t they aware? Well, it seems that the propaganda they consume plays a significant role in keeping them in the dark. Media outlets like Fox News and OANN rarely report these legal issues, if at all.… Continue reading
Lauren Boebert, the infamous Republican congresswoman, has left her district, and believe me, the voters are rejoicing. It’s not surprising, really. Boebert has always been a caricature of a politician, lacking any self-awareness to see just how ridiculous her latest move truly is. Her constituents have had enough of her antics, realizing that she causes chaos with no tangible results. One voter aptly describes the situation, stating, “I can’t think of anything that she’s actually done.” Let’s be honest, though, she’s not the only one in the Republican Party who fits that description.
Boebert is on the hunt for a new district to embarrass herself in, leaving her former district in Rifle, Colorado, with mixed feelings.… Continue reading
Hamas shows signs of return in Gaza City after Israel withdraws most of its troops from the area. This comes as no surprise to those who are familiar with the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. It seems that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are playing a never-ending game of whack-a-mole, as they try to eradicate Hamas but find them returning time and time again.
The geography of the Gaza Strip plays a significant role in this situation. It is a small, densely populated area, leaving little room for Hamas to disappear or for the IDF to completely wipe them out.… Continue reading
13-year-old boy fatally shot man whose leg was blocking aisle of bus, Denver police say. These are the chilling words that have gripped headlines and left a nation in shock. As I delve into the details of this tragic incident, I cannot help but be overwhelmed by a sense of disbelief and dismay. How did we reach a point where a young teenager is armed with a gun? What is happening within our society that perpetuates such violence? These questions linger in my mind, but the answers are far from clear.
It is distressing to think that a 13-year-old boy, at an age where he should be focused on school, hobbies, and friends, would resort to pulling the trigger in a fit of anger.… Continue reading
Disillusioned Americans are losing faith in almost every profession. It’s a troubling reality that seems to be growing more apparent with each passing day. People are becoming increasingly skeptical of those in positions of power, whether they be politicians, CEOs, or even journalists. The trust that was once bestowed upon these professionals is eroding, leaving many feeling disillusioned and betrayed.
One of the primary reasons for this loss of faith is the blatant disregard for the majority of citizens in favor of catering to the wealthy elite. Just under half of the country wants to continue to cut taxes for the wealthy, eliminate the minimum wage, and remove regulations that protect the average worker.… Continue reading
Off-duty Nebraska police officers shoot and kill two men. These are the headlines that we see far too often in our country. It’s a painful reminder of the deep-rooted issues within our justice system and the alarming consequences of a society that normalizes gun violence.
One of the most striking aspects of this case is the stark contrast in our society’s attitude towards guns. On one hand, we hear the rallying cries of “everyone should have a gun.” Yet, on the other hand, we witness the tragic reality of “shoot him, he has a gun.” It makes you question the legitimacy of our right to bear arms when simply possessing a firearm can lead to fatal consequences.… Continue reading
