As a gun owner, I never thought I would see the day when I would be required to have liability insurance just to exercise my constitutional rights. However, it seems that this day may be coming sooner than I expected, with the introduction of a Maryland bill that would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance in order to wear or carry a firearm.
At first glance, the idea of requiring insurance for gun owners may seem reasonable. After all, if you are going to carry a weapon, it would be smart to have insurance to protect yourself legally. One of my close friends has a concealed carry license in Illinois, and he always carries a card in his wallet along with his insurance information.… Continue reading
“Incompetent” Alina Habba dubbed “deep state plant to destroy Donald Trump” in new theory
Ah, the wild world of conspiracy theories and political paranoia. It never fails to amaze me how some people can tie themselves in knots trying to avoid reality at all costs. The latest theory making the rounds is that Alina Habba, one of Donald Trump’s lawyers, is actually a deep state operative planted to destroy him. Yes, you heard that right.
Now, I have to admit, I find this theory absolutely fascinating. It’s like watching a human centipede of stupidity, with everyone feeding off each other’s irrationality and baseless claims.… Continue reading
Pig Brain Kept Alive for Five Hours While Separated from the Body
What an extraordinary and bewildering concept it is to imagine a brain kept alive for five hours without the body it once inhabited. It evokes a multitude of emotions, from fascination to horror, as we grapple with the implications of such a phenomenon. As I ponder this, I am reminded of the haunting words, “I have no mouth yet I must scream.” It is a chilling thought, pondering the consciousness and experience of a brain severed from its physical existence.
In many ways, this experiment delves into the realm of man-made horrors beyond our comprehension.… Continue reading
Russia Hit With Widespread Internet Outage Across Country
As an avid gamer, it’s not every day that I have cause to rejoice over a widespread internet outage. However, when I heard that Russia was hit with a massive disruption to their internet services, I couldn’t help but crack a smile. It seems that the issue was related to a technical problem with the .ru domain’s global Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC), which is used to secure data exchanged in internet protocol networks.
Now, I’m not an expert in technology, so I can’t say for certain whether this was a result of a hack or just a failure in maintenance, hardware, or software.… Continue reading
E. Jean Carroll, the brave woman who accused former President Donald Trump of rape, has recently stated her plans for the $83.3 million that she was awarded in her defamation case against him. In an appearance on ABC’s Good Morning America, Carroll expressed her desire to use the money to support causes and initiatives that Donald Trump despises. This decision showcases her strength and determination to not let her abuser’s actions go unpunished.
Carroll’s idea of funding other trials against rapists is a powerful statement. By using the money to support legal action against perpetrators of sexual assault, she aims to bring justice to those who have suffered similar ordeals.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s recent declaration that he is “more popular” than Taylor Swift and that he should have been TIME’s Person of the Year, not her, is yet another outrageous statement from a man who seems to thrive on controversy. As I read the news, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes and let out a sigh of exhaustion. It seems that Trump’s name and face are everywhere I turn, and I can’t help but feel tired of the constant stream of his antics.
But let’s examine his claim for a moment. Trump equates being “popular” with being well-known due to his status as a former president, as well as his past scandals and legal issues.… Continue reading
As a Texan, I am deeply frustrated and disappointed by the recent actions of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. His decision to sue five cities, including Austin and San Marcos, over their marijuana policies is a clear abuse of power and a blatant disregard for the principles of smaller government and personal freedom that the Republican Party claims to stand for.
It is ironic that the state government, which often champions the idea of states’ rights and limited federal interference, is now attempting to assert control over municipal governments. If the state government can ignore the federal government’s laws and regulations, then shouldn’t the same logic apply to local governments and their policies?… Continue reading
Iran not seeking war with the US but ‘not afraid of it,’ says military chief.
Oh please. Even America is scared of America. Yeah, getting all the proxies to attack US bases over 150 times, disruption of 20% of the world’s shipping, is just a bit of playful banter. Saddam said he wasn’t afraid. Then his army was wiped out within weeks, and before long he was swinging by a rope. Sometimes it’s okay, even smart, to be afraid.
You know what is really compelling evidence of courage is when you, unprompted, announce how unafraid you are of something that no one has said is happening yet.… Continue reading
Biden Faces Blame for Border Crisis, Swing-State Voter Poll Shows
As I sit here at the border, I can’t help but feel a sense of frustration and confusion. The news is filled with talk of a border crisis, but I’m left wondering, what crisis are they even referring to? It seems like the blame is being placed squarely on President Biden, but is that really fair?
The truth is, the Republicans have blocked any legislation that could help fix the problem they claim is so dire. They insist that the situation is bigger than World War 3, but how can we take them seriously when it’s clear that their refusal to cooperate is politically motivated?… Continue reading
As a trans person living in Florida, I am deeply disturbed and saddened by recent news that the state will throw trans people in jail if they try to update the gender on their driver’s licenses. It is disheartening to see that Florida is actively working to implement discriminatory and harmful laws that directly target the trans community.
The comparison to a fascist state is not unfounded, as it seems like Florida is heading down a dangerous path of legalized bigotry and discrimination. This echoes the tactics used by the Nazis before World War II, where they systematically targeted different groups, starting with the most vulnerable.… Continue reading
