Trump in Real Peril as New Polls Show Kamala Has Many Paths to Victory

I can’t help but feel a sense of relief and hope as new polls show that Kamala has many paths to victory over Trump in the upcoming election. It has been a tumultuous few years with Trump in office, and the idea of him potentially being defeated is a breath of fresh air. The thought of a different leadership, one that prioritizes the needs of the people and works towards unification rather than division, is invigorating.

One key aspect that stands out to me is the importance of not getting complacent. We saw in 2016 how overconfidence and assuming victory can lead to unexpected outcomes.… Continue reading

Trump’s unsettling new question: ‘Why are we having an election?’

Trump’s recent question about the necessity of holding an election is a stark reminder of his relentless attempts to undermine democracy. The notion that he is polling at 93%, a number seemingly plucked out of thin air, reeks of desperation and delusion. In his mind, it appears that winning is a foregone conclusion, and any deviation from this outcome will be labeled as theft. This dangerous rhetoric is not just absurd; it is a calculated move to sow doubt and division among his supporters.

The disturbing part is not Trump questioning the need for an election; it is his insidious strategy of priming his base to contest the results if he doesn’t win.… Continue reading

Trump vs. Harris poised to be largest gender divide in election history

As the upcoming election approaches, the stark contrast between the candidates is becoming more evident than ever. The divide between Trump and Harris is not just about politics, but about fundamental values and morals. It is a battle between decency and indecency, between progress and regression, between common sense and nonsense. In this election, the biggest division is not solely based on gender, but on the basic principles that define us as human beings.

For too long, the current administration has failed to uphold the principles of democracy and decency. The alarming disregard for the rights and well-being of all individuals, regardless of gender, race, or background, has shaken the very core of our society.… Continue reading

Hidden-camera video shows Project 2025 co-author discussing his secret work preparing for a second Trump term

The recent reveal of hidden-camera footage showing Project 2025 co-author, Russell Vought, discussing his secret work preparing for a potential second term for Trump has sent shockwaves through the political landscape. Vought openly admitted that his group, the Center for Renewing America, had been drafting various executive orders, regulations, and memos to lay the groundwork for rapid action on Trump’s plans if he were to win re-election. The chilling revelation that Vought described his work as creating “shadow” agencies is deeply concerning, as it echoes the idea of a deep state within the government.

The fact that Vought and his cohorts are actively working to undermine and dismantle key government agencies in a bid to consolidate power is alarming.… Continue reading

Tina Peters guilty: Former Mesa County clerk convicted on 7 charges

As I sit and reflect on the recent news of Tina Peters being found guilty on seven charges related to her involvement in post-2020 election conspiracy theories, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. It’s disheartening to see someone in a position of authority abuse their power and manipulate the democratic process for their own gain. The fact that Peters helped facilitate unauthorized access to voting equipment during a software update, leading to sensitive information being posted online to undermine the election system, is deeply troubling.

It’s ironic, isn’t it, that the very individuals who cry foul and claim election interference often turn out to be the ones engaging in fraudulent activities themselves?… Continue reading

Jack Karlson, who shot to fame after ‘succulent Chinese meal’ arrest, dies aged 82

Jack Karlson, the man who brought us the iconic phrase “succulent Chinese meal”, has left this world at the age of 82. As I reflect on his life and the infamous incident that catapulted him into internet stardom, I am reminded of the sheer audacity and humor with which he faced the world. Karlson was not just a man, he was a paragon of democracy—questioning authority and absurdity with a wit and charm that few could match.

In the face of injustice, Karlson stood tall and defiant, refusing to accept anything less than a succulent feast of life. His sarcastic quips and memorable lines have now become timeless expressions of resistance against the ridiculousness of authority.… Continue reading

Jan. 6 rioter who attacked numerous officers sentenced to 20 years

I can’t help but feel a sense of justice being served upon hearing that a Jan. 6 rioter who attacked numerous officers has been sentenced to 20 years in prison. It’s a comforting thought that those who participated in the assault on our nation’s Capitol are facing consequences for their actions. We’ve seen more than 1,200 individuals charged and over 460 people sentenced for their involvement in the insurrection, and it brings some relief to know that accountability is being upheld, at least to some extent.

When I think about the sheer audacity of these individuals, who were willing to lay down their lives for someone like Trump, it baffles me.… Continue reading

Trump’s meltdown during Harris-Walz rally sounds alarm: Will family get him help or just ‘cash his checks?’

As I reflect on the recent events surrounding Trump’s meltdown during the Harris-Walz rally, I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions. The display of his erratic behavior, incoherent ramblings, and delusional statements highlight the extent of his detachment from reality. It raises a crucial question: will his family step in to get him the help he so desperately needs, or will they continue to enable his destructive behavior and simply ‘cash his checks’?

Watching Trump spiral into a state of cognitive dissonance and insecurity is a stark reminder of the dangerous consequences of unchecked power and ego. The fact that he is unable to comprehend basic concepts, such as the difference between asylum seekers and an asylum institution, is alarming.… Continue reading

Bangladesh prime minister resigns after deadly protests – reports

Bangladesh is currently in a state of chaos and uncertainty as reports emerge of the Prime Minister resigning after deadly protests. The turmoil in the country has sparked a plethora of questions and concerns about what the future holds for the nation. It is a troubling situation that raises the specter of military intervention and the potential establishment of a ‘transitional government’ that could lead to a rewriting of the constitution and a prolonged period of uncertainty.

The root cause of the protests that led to the Prime Minister’s resignation remains somewhat murky. Reports suggest that there was no official opposition in the last election, leading to frustration among the populace.… Continue reading

Trump warns “very bad” Google may be “shut down”

Oh, the antics of President Trump never cease to amaze me. Threatening to shut down Google because he’s upset with search results? Honestly, it’s a move that seems more fitting for a tantrum-throwing toddler than the leader of a country. His vocabulary is so limited, always resorting to calling things either “good” or “bad”, as if the complexities of the world can be condensed into two simplistic categories. His recent rants about Google being “very bad” and irresponsibility ready to be shut down by Congress just showcase how outlandish his statements have become.

It’s comical how he rambles on incoherently about shows, brands, and then jumps to Google being on the chopping block.… Continue reading
