Biden: House Republicans ‘walking away from the threat of Russia’ – “It’s just shocking. I’ve never seen anything like it,” the president said Monday.

What is happening in our government today is something straight out of a spy novel or a political drama. The fact that House Republicans are seemingly turning a blind eye to the threat posed by Russia is not only shocking but downright alarming. As President Biden pointed out, it is something that I have never seen before in my lifetime. The idea that elected officials, who are supposed to prioritize the safety and security of the country, are possibly compromised by a foreign government is truly terrifying.

It is clear that there is a deep-rooted issue within the Republican Party when it comes to protecting the United States from external threats.… Continue reading

Biden blames Putin for Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death

I am deeply disturbed by the tragic news of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death. The fact that he was slowly tortured and murdered in a Russian prison is a chilling reminder of the brutality and authoritarianism that exists in Putin’s regime. The world has indeed lost a brave and courageous man who was willing to fight for what he believed in, even at the risk of his own life.

It is not surprising that President Biden has pointed fingers directly at Putin for Navalny’s death. After all, Putin has a history of silencing his critics and political opponents through violent and oppressive means.… Continue reading

Group photo shows Michigan GOP electors on day they signed false certificate

Group photo shows Michigan GOP electors on day they signed false certificate.

Have you ever had a group of criminals pose for a photo at the scene of the crime? This was the question posed by Nick Somberg, the lawyer for Meshawn Maddock, one of the GOP electors in Michigan. The image of these individuals, standing with smiles and pride, seemed to capture a moment of arrogance and ignorance. It’s as if they were commemorating a day of treason, all while believing they were about to become heroes. The sheer audacity and confidence in their actions is both baffling and disturbing.… Continue reading

Judge Fines Trump Over $350 Million in Civil Fraud Trial, Bars Him From Doing Business in New York

not representing their party can no longer run for office”. It’s a sad reality that the Republican Party, once a party of principles and values, has now become a party so entangled in the web of Trumpism that they are powerless to break free.

The recent ruling against Trump, where he was fined over $350 million in a civil fraud trial and barred from doing business in New York, is a small victory for justice. It’s a step towards holding him accountable for his actions and the numerous legal issues he faces. However, the looming threat of him running for office again is a dark cloud hanging over the nation.… Continue reading

Arizona GOP introduces resolution to declare Trump 2024 winner regardless of the vote.

The recent news about the Arizona GOP introducing a resolution to declare Trump the winner of the 2024 election, regardless of the vote, is truly alarming. It’s shocking to see a political party in the United States resort to such undemocratic tactics. This is the kind of behavior we would expect from a third world country, where elections are manipulated and controlled by those in power.

It’s even more disheartening when we consider that these are the same individuals who spent so much time and money trying to prove fraud in the 2020 election, without any substantial evidence to support their claims.… Continue reading

Trump is too old and incited a coup. Biden is too old and mixes up names. America, how to choose?

America, how do we choose? On one hand, we have Trump, a man who is too old and has incited a coup. His actions have shown him to be a traitor, surrounded by the worst humans on the planet. On the other hand, we have Biden, who is also aging and mixes up names. But let’s delve deeper into this dilemma.

Yes, Biden may have his moments of confusion, but let’s not forget that Trump has also had his fair share of name mix-ups. He famously mistook Nikki Haley for Nancy Pelosi and constantly claimed to have beaten Obama in 2016.… Continue reading

France uncovers a vast Russian disinformation campaign in Europe

France uncovers a vast Russian disinformation campaign in Europe

It has become increasingly clear that Russia is engaged in a widespread and well-organized disinformation campaign across Europe. France, in particular, has recently uncovered the extent of Russia’s efforts to spread misinformation and sow dissent within its borders. While this revelation may not come as a surprise to many, it is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by Russia’s tactics.

The internet has undoubtedly become a breeding ground for disinformation and propaganda. Social media platforms, such as YouTube and Reddit, have been infiltrated by Russian actors, who manipulate conversations and promote divisive narratives.… Continue reading

Putin challenger says he is barred from election

Putin challenger says he is barred from election

I can’t say I’m surprised by the news that a challenger to Russian President Vladimir Putin has been barred from running in the upcoming election. As someone who has been following Russian politics closely, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these elections are nothing more than a facade, a charade to maintain the illusion of democracy.

The challenger, Mr. Nadezhdin, claims to have collected over 200,000 signatures across Russia in support of his candidacy. Yet, the Central Election Commission deemed more than 9,000 signatures invalid, leaving him just short of the required 100,000 to register as a candidate.… Continue reading

Disqualify Donald Trump petition hits 480,000 signatures

Disqualify Donald Trump Petition Hits 480,000 Signatures

The recent news of a petition to disqualify Donald Trump from holding any future office gaining over 480,000 signatures is enough to make anyone pause and reflect on the state of our democracy. But let’s be honest, does this petition really hold any weight? Will it actually lead to any meaningful change? The answer, unfortunately, is most likely not.

Petitions are a form of expression, a way for individuals to voice their opinions and concerns. However, in the grand scheme of things, they rarely have a direct impact on policy decisions or the actions of those in power.… Continue reading

“Bizarre”: Legal experts warn Trump’s Supreme Court argument is a “massive tactical blunder” “Weak” filing is littered with “arguments that have largely been picked apart,” legal experts say

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
