As I reflect on the current state of affairs in Ukraine and the promises made by the US defense chief, my mind is filled with a mix of hope and skepticism. The words spoken about not letting Ukraine fail are powerful, but actions speak louder than words. It’s disheartening to see the lack of concrete support being provided to Ukraine in its time of need.
The reality is that Ukraine is fighting a war against a formidable adversary, and mere words of encouragement will not suffice. The free world needs to step up and provide Ukraine with the necessary resources to not only survive but to emerge victorious in this battle against tyranny.… Continue reading
Donald Trump’s descent into madness seems to have reached a new low with his recent speech praising the Capitol rioters. It is evident that he is completely detached from reality, celebrating individuals who committed acts of violence and insurrection against their own country. His delusional remarks reflect a severe lack of judgment and a complete disregard for the rule of law.
The implications of Trump’s unhinged speech are alarming. Not only does it highlight his desperate attempts to cling to power at any cost, but it also underscores the dangerous precedent it sets for the future of democracy in America. By glorifying individuals who threatened the very foundation of our nation, Trump has revealed himself to be a clear and present danger to society.… Continue reading
The recent Russian election has once again showcased Putin’s grip on power, with him claiming a landslide victory and taking jabs at US democracy in the process. It’s no surprise that in a country where opposition figures end up in jail or mysteriously meet their demise, Putin can orchestrate such a “victory” without breaking a sweat. The so-called 88% mandate he received is not only unimpressive, but also a glaring reminder of the lack of genuine democracy in Russia.
It’s ludicrous to think that in a fair election, a leader would secure such a high percentage of votes. But when your opponents are silenced, imprisoned, or worse, it’s no wonder Putin can claim such a victory with a straight face.… Continue reading
Russia election: Putin wins with 88% support, exit poll says
The recent news of Vladimir Putin winning the Russian election with a staggering 88% of the vote is both alarming and expected. In a world where democracy is supposed to reign supreme, such a high percentage of support for one candidate raises eyebrows and questions the legitimacy of the electoral process. The jokes and memes circulating online about the results only highlight the skepticism felt not only within Russia but also around the world.
It is baffling to believe that 88% of any population would willingly support a single politician, especially in a country known for its history of authoritarian rule and political suppression.… Continue reading
As I sit back and observe the latest news in the political world, I can’t help but shake my head at the audacity of some individuals. The recent call from a top Republican to cancel future State of the Union speeches by President Biden is not only shocking but also deeply concerning. Article 2, section 3, clause 1 of the Constitution clearly mandates the president to deliver a State of the Union address, but it seems like some individuals are willing to disregard this foundational document when it doesn’t align with their agenda.
The idea of canceling a tradition that has been upheld for over a century simply because it doesn’t suit a certain party’s interests is not only shortsighted but also dangerous.… Continue reading
Putin ‘wins’ rigged Russian election with 88% of the vote, early results show.
The recent news of Vladimir Putin winning the Russian election with a staggering 88% of the vote is not surprising to many of us who are familiar with the inner workings of the Russian political system. The numbers are so high that one might think they need to bump them up for further credibility. But when your opposition is dead, exiled, or severely marginalized, one might even argue that the number should be higher.
Calling this election a ‘rigged election’ is actually giving it far more legitimacy than it deserves.… Continue reading
I can’t believe what I read about the man who was detained in Moscow for simply writing ‘Putin is a murderer’ on his ballot. It’s astounding to think that in today’s world, a person can face repercussions for expressing their opinion, especially when it comes to a supposedly democratic process like an election. The fact that the police noticed what he wrote and took action against him is not only concerning but also goes against the very principles of free speech.
The idea that someone could be arrested for writing a political statement on their ballot raises questions about the integrity of the entire election process.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel a sense of despair when I hear about the upcoming “election” in Russia, which is really just a farcical show to extend Putin’s rule. The lack of any credible opposition, with most foes either jailed, exiled, or worse, is a stark reminder of the tyranny and oppression that looms over the Russian people. It’s disheartening to see how any semblance of democracy has been eroded, and how Putin’s grip on power remains unchallenged and untouchable.
Reading about the Communist Party candidate, Nikolai Kharitonov, and his lackluster responses only solidifies the fact that this election is a charade.… Continue reading

It is truly alarming and disheartening to see the former President of the United States, Donald Trump, continue to spout dangerous and delusional rhetoric at his recent rally in Ohio. Trump’s ominous warnings of a ‘bloodbath’ and the end of elections if he is not reelected showcase his authoritarian tendencies and lack of regard for democracy.
The fact that he would stoop to such fear-mongering tactics speaks volumes about his character and intentions. It is appalling that a candidate for the highest office in the country would make such inflammatory statements, threatening the very foundation of our democratic process.
Trump’s refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election, his repeated claims of voter fraud, and now his dire warnings about the future of elections if he is not reelected are clear signs of a man who will stop at nothing to retain power.… Continue reading
This situation is beyond concerning. The idea that a judge, who seems to have close ties to Trump, may be signaling that she will “get rid” of the case against him is nothing short of frightening. The delays, the lack of progress, and the evident bias all point to a justice system that is failing to hold those in power accountable. The fact that this case is related to classified materials, potential obstruction of justice, and conspiracy makes it even more alarming.
It’s clear that Judge Cannon’s actions are not in line with what justice should look like. The delays, the lack of urgency, and the apparent favoritism towards Trump are all red flags.… Continue reading
