Three US troops killed in drone attack in Jordan, at least two dozen injured.
Damn, Jordan isn’t supposed to be a dangerous deployment. RIP. If this turns out to be Iranian backed militas, this is going to be a big escalation, when it comes to Iran. I always knew eventually U.S. troops were eventually going to get killed, and if that happened, things were going to enter a new phase. Iran better hope they had nothing to do with it. 158 attacks against US and coalition forces since October 17…
Honestly at this point bomb a drone factory in Iran, that is not war mongering that is just self defense at this point.… Continue reading
More Gen Z Americans identify as LGBTQ than as Republican
As a member of Gen Z, I find it both fascinating and empowering to see that a growing number of my peers identify as LGBTQ. According to a recent poll, 28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ, compared to only 6% who identify as Republican. This shift in identity speaks volumes about the changing dynamics and perspectives within our generation.
The comments I’ve come across surrounding this topic reflect a variety of sentiments. Some express excitement and hope for the future, while others emphasize the importance of using this newfound identity in conjunction with voting and political engagement.… Continue reading
We must start urgently talking about the dangers of a second Trump presidency. It’s concerning that even after four years, Trump garnered around 80 million votes. This shows that there is a significant portion of the population that remains unfazed by his actions and rhetoric. It’s alarming to think that people were discussing pandemic conspiracies while lying in hospital beds, showcasing how mentally conditioned and delusional some individuals are. Trump, a former Democrat, has managed to act as a false prophet, and his followers metaphorically kneel before him.
Many of us have been talking about these dangers constantly, but unfortunately, a significant portion of the population either doesn’t care or refuses to listen.… Continue reading
Ban of transgender people from Utah’s public bathrooms passes Senate
As I read about the recent decision to ban transgender individuals from using public restrooms in Utah, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of anger, frustration, and disbelief. It is disheartening to witness such discriminatory policies being passed in this day and age, especially in a country that prides itself on equality and freedom.
The statistics speak volumes about the direction of American politics. With 28% of Gen Z identifying as LGBTQ+ and 22% identifying as Republican, it is clear that the demographics are shifting. However, the ban on transgender people using public bathrooms in Utah shows that certain factions of the Republican party are digging their heels in and trying to resist change.… Continue reading
As I watched the first debate for the GOP candidates, I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching a circus performance. The moment when candidates were asked to raise their hands if they had ever been arrested was like a clown car crashing into a wall. Six out of the nine candidates proudly raised their hands, eliciting cheers and applause from the audience.
It’s ironic that the party that claims to be the champion of “law and order” is filled with individuals who have had brushes with the law. It’s a clear indication of the hypocrisy within the Republican party.… Continue reading
As I read the headline “Florida man facing 91 criminal counts wins New Hampshire primary,” I couldn’t help but feel a mix of shock, disappointment, and frustration. It seems that, despite all the evidence, the Republican party is still embracing a candidate who has a laundry list of criminal charges against him. This is not the America I thought I knew.
For eight long years, Republicans had the opportunity to distance themselves from this individual. Yet, they did nothing. They allowed him to rise through the ranks, even as he faced allegations of crimes against America, including conspiring to disenfranchise the population and stealing national secrets.… Continue reading
As I read the news about the man in his 80s who killed his wife and two adult children in a murder-suicide at their Granada Hills home, my heart sank. It’s a tragic and senseless act that leaves us questioning what could have driven someone to such extreme measures after all these years.
The details of this case, along with the mention of a similar incident in Norway, leave me deeply puzzled. I find myself wondering why these individuals didn’t choose to take a different path. Instead of resorting to violence, why couldn’t they have chosen to sell everything, disappear to a remote island, or even just end their own lives?… Continue reading
Republicans turned down $13.6 billion for border security on January 18th. This decision has sparked controversy and debate, highlighting the broader issues surrounding immigration and border control in the United States. As I reflect on this topic, it becomes clear that the Republican Party’s actions are not driven by genuine concern for border security, but rather by political motivations.
It is evident that Republicans view immigration as a reliable way to raise funds and rally their base. The issue of immigration, specifically illegal immigration, has been a divisive topic that consistently stirs emotions and sparks heated debates. By positioning themselves as tough on immigration, Republicans can energize their base and gain support.… Continue reading
$8.4 trillion. That’s the astounding amount that former President Trump added to the national debt during his time in office. To put it in perspective, that’s nearly $25,000 of debt for every U.S. citizen—an increase of 38%. And here’s the kicker: $940 billion of that debt was added even before the pandemic hit. So, this can’t be blamed solely on COVID-19.
It’s mind-boggling when some die-hard Trump supporters claim that they voted for him because of his supposed economic prowess. How could someone who claims to be a great businessman, someone who supposedly knows how to run a successful enterprise, amass such an incredible debt while in office?… Continue reading
I’m still processing the news of the six bodies found at a remote crossroads in California’s Mojave Desert. It’s a chilling and unsettling discovery that raises many questions and sends shivers down my spine. Isn’t there some kind of folklore about bodies at crossroads, that they can’t find heaven or something? It reminds me of the plot of “No Country for Old Men,” a dark and gripping tale that haunts the mind.
Growing up in the Mojave desert, I was always aware of the dangers that lurked in the vast expanse of land. My father would caution me about the mineshafts that dotted the landscape, warning me about the treacherous fate that awaited anyone who fell in.… Continue reading
