Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has expressed hope that a potential victory for former US President Donald Trump in the 2024 election could bring a “just peace” to Ukraine. While the sentiment might seem surprising, given Trump’s history of cozying up to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Zelensky’s comments are likely a desperate plea for any potential help from the US, even if it comes from a source with a questionable past.
It’s understandable why Zelensky might be clinging to this hope. The ongoing war in Ukraine has already taken a devastating toll on the country and its people. The war has displaced millions, devastated the economy, and left countless casualties.… Continue reading
The 2024 presidential election results are in, and Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States. The victory is a monumental one for Trump, as he managed to secure both the Electoral College and the popular vote, a feat he accomplished in 2016 but failed to repeat in 2020. The election was a resounding rejection of the Democratic party, with voter turnout plummeting for Democrats and only marginally improving for Republicans.
These results demonstrate a massive shift in the political landscape, with the GOP gaining significant ground in both national and state-level elections. The Democrats’ loss of both houses of Congress, coupled with Trump’s win in the popular vote, signifies a deep discontent with the direction the country was headed under the previous administration.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s historic return to the White House, securing a second term, has sent shockwaves across the nation. While the 2020 election was a close race, the 2024 election was a landslide victory for Trump, with a significant shift in voter sentiment evident across key swing states. The Democratic party suffered a crushing defeat, losing ground even in states that were considered safe blue strongholds.
The magnitude of Trump’s victory is undeniable. He not only won the presidency but also secured a Republican majority in both the House and Senate, solidifying his control over all branches of government. The impact of this victory extends beyond domestic politics; it also has global implications.… Continue reading

Trump appears to forget he is in North Carolina, and watching it unfold is both perplexing and deeply concerning. In a recent rally in Kinston, he referred to Pennsylvania’s GOP Senate candidate, David McCormick, as if he were campaigning in that state rather than in North Carolina. It’s surreal to witness someone of his stature simply not know where he is. This isn’t just a slip of the tongue; it feels like a glaring indication of something more troubling happening with him.
His comment about having “one of the best” in front of a crowd that was decidedly not in Pennsylvania raises alarms.… Continue reading
Two days before the presidential election, former President Donald Trump spoke at a rally in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, expressing conspiratorial and profanity-laden sentiments. He repeatedly cast doubt on the integrity of the vote, intensified his attacks on Democrats and the media, and made references to reporters and political critics being shot. He suggested he can only lose the election under fraudulent circumstances, despite polling showing a very close race. Trump was previously indicted for attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. There are concerns among some Trump allies about prematurely declaring victory on election night, as he did in the 2016 election, which led to months of denial and lies, climaxing in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.

As Trump tours key swing states before the election, claims of electoral fraud persist despite poll trackers suggesting a neck-and-neck race. The potential for violence remains a concern should Trump not secure a win.
