This Is Not How a Normal President Speaks. It’s a phrase that resonates, isn’t it? A simple statement that encapsulates a feeling, a collective realization that something is fundamentally off. And it’s not just about the presidency; it’s about the person. It’s about the way this individual presents himself to the world, the words he chooses, the cadence of his pronouncements. It’s about the whole picture – from the casual boasting about the size of a dead golfer’s… well, you get the idea, to the outright defiance of established norms.
It’s about recognizing that “my own morality” as the sole check on power is not just a red flag; it’s a blaring air raid siren.… Continue reading

We shouldn’t even have an election – that’s the phrase that’s causing a stir, and understandably so. It’s a statement that strikes at the very heart of democracy, a fundamental principle of the United States. To even consider such a thought, particularly from someone seeking to lead the country, is deeply concerning. The context is crucial; the comment seems to reflect a sentiment of deep frustration and perhaps a belief in the unpopularity of the individual expressing it. The idea of cancelling an election, a process held even during the Civil War, is a bold and arguably reckless suggestion.
We shouldn’t even have an election – the words hang in the air, echoing sentiments of desperation and a willingness to disregard established norms.… Continue reading

The author critiques the notion that Donald Trump’s actions regarding Venezuela constitute a “freedom agenda,” arguing that Trump’s primary focus is on securing Venezuela’s oil resources for American companies, not on promoting democracy or human rights. Trump has dismissed the legitimate democratic opposition and instead is working with Maduro’s Marxist vice president and has threatened violence. The author points out that Trump’s actions are driven by a desire for plunder and bullying, contrasting this with historical US interventions aimed at promoting freedom and democracy. Trump’s behavior is compared to the actions of an outlaw nation and the author’s final statement is, “This. Is. Not. True.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the closest thing the U.S. had to a publicly-funded media outlet, has been shut down following a massive funding cut. This move, spearheaded by Donald Trump and his allies, effectively eliminates a source of trusted news and educational programming for all Americans. The CPB’s demise will be especially detrimental to the approximately 1,500 local public radio and TV stations that relied heavily on its funding. This is part of a larger effort by the right wing to undermine a functional press and consolidate control over media narratives.

The events of January 6th revealed the high cost of defending one’s community, as those who spoke out against the actions faced intimidation and threats. Following public statements, individuals experienced targeted harassment, including swatting incidents and online threats, underscoring the chilling effect on civic engagement. The lack of clear support or resources for families dealing with such intimidation highlighted a crucial need for the city to step in and offer assistance. To foster a safer environment, the city should establish a clear point of contact to support those facing harassment and coordinate a response across agencies to show that the community stands together against intimidation.

Trump’s actions, from his domestic policies to his foreign incursions, directly challenge the foundational principles of a civilized society, including the protection of the vulnerable from the powerful. These actions, mirroring those of other global actors and powerful entities, threaten the established order built on multilateralism, human rights, and the rule of law. The concentration of wealth and power, coupled with the lack of accountability, creates an environment where the powerful are incentivized to exploit the weaker, leading to instability and potential conflict. Ultimately, history demonstrates that unchecked power leads to downfall, underscoring the necessity of constraints to protect civilization itself.

During a speech to House Republicans, Donald Trump raised concerns about the possibility of canceling future U.S. elections, although he quickly retracted the statement claiming he was only criticizing Democrats. This is not the first time Trump has flirted with such an idea, previously suggesting delays to the 2020 election and appearing to support the idea of suspending elections under martial law in Ukraine. Despite having no legal authority to do so, Trump continues to voice these ideas while also repeating false claims about the 2020 election being “rigged.”
