Jack Smith is not holding back in his criticism of Judge Aileen Cannon’s recent ruling, and it’s hard to blame him. In a filing to Cannon, Smith expressed his concerns about publicly docketing unredacted discovery material, as it could potentially expose witnesses to threats and harassment. Smith argues that revealing the identities of witnesses in a case involving Trump, who has a history of intimidating individuals, would put their safety at risk. He points to previous cases involving classified evidence, such as United States v. Moussaoui in 2001, where restrictions were placed on access to classified information to protect national security.… Continue reading
Just Say It, Democrats: Biden Has Been a Great President — His achievements have been nothing short of historic.
When Joe Biden won the Democratic primary in 2020, I have to admit that I had my reservations. Like many others, my primary goal was to ensure that we didn’t have another four years of the orange stain that was Donald Trump. But as Biden’s presidency has unfolded, I have been pleasantly surprised and can confidently say that he has been a great president.
One of Biden’s most significant achievements has been his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The efficient rollout of vaccines has undoubtedly saved millions of American lives.… Continue reading
As I sat glued to the live oral arguments of the Supreme Court, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of nausea wash over me. The way these politicians manipulated the law, twisting and contorting it to suit their own agendas, was truly sickening. Whatever happened to the ideal of leaving things up to the states? Colorado Republicans made a decision that they simply didn’t want Trump on the ballot, and now they are trying to justify their actions under the guise of upholding states’ rights.
It’s ironic how these same politicians who claim to defend the right of states to choose how to handle issues like abortion are suddenly switching sides the moment a state chooses something they disagree with.… Continue reading
As I sit here and read about the Republicans privately admitting that they killed a good immigration deal, I can’t help but feel a deep sense of frustration and disappointment. It’s no secret that the GOP has been playing political games for years, but this revelation is particularly disheartening.
Democratic Senator Michael Bennet claims that his Republican colleagues privately confessed that this immigration deal was the toughest one they would ever get. And yet, they still chose to kill it. It’s infuriating to see politicians prioritize party loyalty over the needs and desires of the American people.
What strikes me the most about this situation is the stark contrast between what Republicans say in private and what they do in public.… Continue reading
Evangelical preachers hold significant influence over their congregations, often using their platforms to spread their political beliefs and rally support for particular candidates. Recently, a preacher made a disturbing statement, claiming that it would be worth having a civil war if it meant getting Trump elected. This kind of rhetoric is not only irresponsible but also dangerous.
It’s disheartening to see individuals who are supposed to promote love, peace, and compassion using their pulpits to incite violence and division. The idea that they are willing to sacrifice lives for a political agenda is deeply troubling. It shows a complete disregard for the well-being of their fellow citizens and a lack of understanding of the consequences of such actions.… Continue reading
Trump Says Jan. 6 Was an Insurrection
As I sit here, trying to comprehend the absurdity of the statement made by former President Donald Trump, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. How is it possible that anyone can still support this man? What has happened in their lives that led them to believe that he is the right choice? These questions swirl in my mind as I dive deeper into the recent news. Trump’s lawyers, in a filing this week, had asserted that the events of January 6th did not constitute an insurrection. However, just days later, Trump himself stated, “I think it was an insurrection.”… Continue reading
The possibility of Trump being convicted in D.C. just days before the election is a topic that has been circulating in the news lately, and I can’t help but feel a mix of frustration and anticipation. The fact that this discussion even exists is mind-boggling to me. We are talking about a man who has been impeached twice, held civilly liable for rape, and is facing 91 felony counts. Yet, he was the best candidate the Republican Party could find to represent them. It’s a stark reminder of the state of our political landscape.
I remember when people were fixated on Hillary Clinton’s emails during the 2016 election.… Continue reading
What the hell are they thinking? It’s a question that I find myself asking over and over again when it comes to the Republican Party and their actions. Time and time again, they claim to be upset about certain issues, like immigration, but when they gain power, they do absolutely nothing to address them. It’s a never-ending cycle of disappointment and frustration.
Take immigration, for example. Republicans have been up in arms about it since the 90s. They’ve made it a cornerstone of their campaigns, promising to crack down on illegal immigration and secure the border. Yet, whenever they have the opportunity to do something about it, they choose not to.… Continue reading
The recent Putin interview with Tucker Carlson has once again highlighted the Kremlin’s consistent efforts to reach out to Trump’s GOP. It is truly baffling to witness such blatant displays of Russian influence on the Republican Party, while many Trump supporters turn a blind eye to these actions. The fact that concrete documented events, publicly available for anyone to see, are dismissed as conspiracy theories is concerning.
This issue goes beyond partisan lines and should be a cause for alarm for anyone who cares about our country. It is disheartening to witness the immediate dismissal of these concerns simply because it paints Republicans in a negative light.… Continue reading
As I reflect on the recent news surrounding Trump’s Supreme Court argument, I can’t help but find it both perplexing and concerning. Legal experts have warned that this filing is a massive tactical blunder, filled with weak arguments that have already been picked apart. It’s astonishing to see just how flimsy these arguments are and how little substance they hold.
One thing that strikes me is the lack of actual legal arguments put forth by Trump’s team. Instead, we see a slew of statements that seem more designed to appeal to his base than to present a coherent legal case. Phrases like “Trump hating Judge” or “Presidential immunity” may rouse his supporters, but they do little to bolster his legal standing.… Continue reading
