The Most Successful Man on Fox News Is Almost the Dumbest. This Is Not a Coincidence.
Jesse Watters, the smarmy chuckle of the righteous prick, relies on low-effort mockery and lazy analysis delivered in a mellow tone, often paired with a mirthless laugh. The perfect description given by *Slate* writers is spot-on – it’s hard to tell if he is an enormous idiot or just pretending to be one. But let’s face it, I’m pretty sure he’s just a well-paid idiot. It’s utterly mind-boggling how grown-ups watch these two clowns, Watters and Gutfield. The fact that adults take them seriously is beyond me, as I find them absolutely insufferable.… Continue reading
This morning, I read about the tragic passing of CNN political commentator Alice Stewart. It hit close to home as I recalled a personal health scare that reminded me of the fragility of life. A few years back, I experienced an aneurysm at a young age, which required open heart surgery. The recovery period was one of the scariest times of my life. It made me realize the importance of taking care of our hearts and getting regular medical check-ups, like echocardiograms, to ensure our well-being.
It’s alarming to hear stories of seemingly healthy individuals suffering from life-threatening conditions suddenly. The mother of a former classmate passed away from a brain aneurysm while riding a bike, and a friend had a heart attack during a run, emphasizing the unpredictability of life.… Continue reading
The Dow Jones Industrial Average has crossed the incredible milestone of 40,000 for the first time. This achievement is certainly impressive, but it raises many questions and concerns about the state of the economy and the well-being of the average American. As I look back on my own investing journey, starting almost a decade ago when the Dow was at 17,000, I remember how people were predicting a crash at that time. It seems that the fear of a market crash is a constant undercurrent in discussions about the stock market.
It’s concerning how the stock market is often used as the sole benchmark for the success of the economy.… Continue reading
As I read about the recent news regarding the judge blocking the Biden administration rule that aimed to cap credit card late fees at $8, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated and disheartened by the blatant disregard for the financial well-being of everyday Americans. The fact that a Trump-appointed judge in Texas has the power to obstruct a rule that would have provided much-needed relief to consumers speaks volumes about the current state of our justice system and the influence of big corporations.
It is evident that the Chamber of Commerce, always advocating for banks and businesses, has a significant impact on these decisions.… Continue reading
The sentencing of Pelosi hammer attacker David DePape to 30 years in prison has sparked a wave of reactions and discussions regarding the severity of his punishment. Many have raised questions about how the federal and state charges will be served, considering DePape still faces five state charges, including attempted murder. The process of serving both sentences concurrently or consecutively is a common concern among those following the case closely. The possibility of state charges being served after the federal sentence raises uncertainty about the timeline of DePape’s incarceration.
The attack on Paul Pelosi, carried out by a Trump supporter who believed in various 2020 election conspiracy theories, sheds light on the dangerous repercussions of inflammatory rhetoric in politics.… Continue reading
As I read about the Florida teen who was denied entry to prom for wearing a suit, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of frustration and disbelief wash over me. The fact that in this day and age, a young woman was prohibited from attending a formal event simply because she chose to wear a suit is not only archaic but downright discriminatory. It is mind-boggling to me that in a country that prides itself on freedom and equality, we still have individuals who are so fixated on policing what others wear.
Women wearing suits is not a new phenomenon.… Continue reading
I can’t wrap my head around the fact that Mercedes workers in Alabama voted against forming a union. It baffles me how working class individuals would willingly reject their only protection against exploitation. Having spent most of my career in a unionized environment, I have seen firsthand the countless benefits that unions bring to the table. While I acknowledge that there are some criticisms surrounding unions, the positives undeniably outweigh the negatives.
In my opinion, the ideal workplace would be a collaborative environment where both management and workers work together, where hard work is duly rewarded, and where workers’ rights are robustly protected.… Continue reading
As an individual who identifies as part of the LGBTQI+ community, the recent warnings issued by the FBI and DHS regarding possible attacks during Pride Month worldwide are incredibly alarming. The fact that foreign terrorist organizations or supporters may seek to exploit our community’s increased gatherings is a sobering reality that we must all grapple with. The rhetoric against LGBTQI+ events and venues spread by groups like the Islamic State (IS) is not only deeply disturbing but also highlights the ongoing hatred and intolerance that persists towards individuals like myself simply because of who I love.
The memory of the tragic Pulse nightclub shooting during Pride Month in June 2016 serves as a stark reminder of the potential violence our community faces.… Continue reading
It’s interesting to hear that the UK is set to get at least 25 new warships due to a rise in defense spending, as announced by Shapps. However, upon further examination, it seems that these warships were already in the pipeline long before Shapps took on his role. In fact, some were being built or planned even before Cameron was in power. It makes you wonder, is this announcement truly reflective of new priorities or just a reshuffling of existing plans to make a political statement?
The idea of boosting the UK’s naval power with 25 new warships sounds impressive on the surface.… Continue reading
The recent events in Ukraine regarding the Ukrainian military’s Starlink terminals going down at the beginning of the Russian offensive in Kharkiv Oblast have stirred up a lot of speculation and concern. It is troubling to think that the crucial communication systems relied upon by the Ukrainian military could be compromised in such a strategic moment. The loss of video feeds and internet connectivity due to Russian electronic jamming raises questions about the sophistication and capabilities of the opposing forces.
Electronic jamming has historically been a strong suit for the Russian military, and it is not surprising that they would employ such tactics in a conflict situation.… Continue reading
