Jimmy Carter has fulfilled his final dream. As I reflect on his incredible life and the impact he has had on our nation and the world, I am in awe of his dedication to democracy and his unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Mr. Carter’s desire to witness history by casting his vote for the first woman president is not just a political statement, but a testament to his enduring optimism and belief in the power of the democratic process.
Throughout his life, Jimmy Carter has demonstrated what it means to be a true patriot and a compassionate human being.… Continue reading
It’s about time someone held these county election officials accountable. If you’re in a position of power and responsibility, you have a duty to fulfill the job you were elected or appointed to do. Refusing to certify election results because of personal beliefs or baseless claims of fraud is not only irresponsible but goes against the very foundation of our democracy.
Judge McBurney’s ruling makes it clear that county election officials do not have the authority to determine fraud or manipulate election results. Their role is simply to certify the results and report any concerns to the appropriate authorities. This ruling reaffirms the principles of democracy and ensures that our electoral process remains fair and transparent.… Continue reading
Yes, this is what Donald Trump really sounds like. No, you cannot ignore it. The former president’s rallies and interviews in recent weeks should remind voters what he really represents. It’s truly troubling to witness the level of vitriol and ignorance that spews forth from his mouth, yet there are still millions of Americans who choose to turn a blind eye to it all. The sheer audacity of his statements, the blatant falsehoods, and the complete lack of empathy for anyone outside of his base are on full display for all to see.
The sad reality is that 74 million people have shown that they can and absolutely will ignore it, and that’s a terrifying thought.… Continue reading
It’s truly astounding how Donald Trump’s big rally boast of having no empty seats could painfully fall apart right in front of our eyes. The level of disconnect from reality that he continues to exhibit is not only astonishing but also concerning. The fact that he can stand in a venue with visibly empty seats and still claim otherwise is a testament to his blatant disregard for the truth.
As we witness Trump getting caught in real-time lies about rally attendance, it becomes increasingly clear that his delusions are not only damaging to himself but also to the fabric of our democracy.… Continue reading
The Justice Department says Virginia is illegally striking voters off of voter rolls. This news brings to light a disturbing trend in American politics – the blatant attempts by certain individuals to undermine the very foundation of democracy. The lawsuit filed against Virginia election officials for removing names from voter rolls in violation of federal election law is a clear example of the lengths some will go to in order to manipulate the electoral process for their own gain.
It is disheartening to see such blatant disregard for the fundamental principles of democracy, where every citizen should have the right to participate in the electoral process without fear of being disenfranchised.… Continue reading
In a world where truth seems to be constantly eclipsed by political agendas, the recent ruling by Judge Chutkan to unseal evidence against Donald Trump feels like a small victory for justice. The litany of accusations against Trump is not just a laundry list of crimes; it’s a damning indictment of a man who has used power, privilege, and wealth to evade accountability at every turn.
The evidence against Trump spans a range of offenses, from financial crimes and tax violations to corrupt business practices and obstruction of justice. It’s a mosaic of deceit, manipulation, and abuse of power that has fundamentally undermined the principles of democracy.… Continue reading
As I sit and reflect on the recent revelations about former President Trump from General Mark Milley, I am left with a mix of emotions. To hear such damning statements about a former commander-in-chief from a top military official is both shocking and unsettling. The fact that those who were closest to him, who worked alongside him in the highest positions of power, now publicly denounce him as a fascist and the most dangerous person to this country speaks volumes.
It’s alarming to think that someone with so much influence and authority could be viewed in such a negative light by those who know him best.… Continue reading
The upcoming election certification process seems to be a point of contention and concern for many, including myself. The uncertainty surrounding whether Speaker Johnson will certify the election is a cause for alarm, especially given the current political climate and the looming threat of election fraud. Liz Cheney’s lack of faith in Speaker Johnson to uphold the election results resonates with the growing apprehension that many of us share.
The possibility of the Republican party rejecting the election results and attempting to seize power is a terrifying prospect. With the likelihood of a civil war with these individuals looming, the need for preparation and decisive action by the Democrats is more critical than ever.… Continue reading
The Supreme Court, a beacon of justice and the final arbiter of the law in the United States, is teetering on the edge of irrelevance and corruption. The very institution that we are supposed to trust to uphold the principles of democracy and the rule of law is being severely compromised by right-wing justices who may seek to intervene in the upcoming election. It’s a chilling thought to consider that the highest court in the land, the ultimate arbiter of justice, may be used as a pawn in a political game to subvert the will of the voters.
In recent years, the Supreme Court has made decisions that raise serious questions about its integrity and impartiality.… Continue reading
I refuse to be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of fake polls that attempt to sway my decision or dampen my enthusiasm. As an active voter who values the power of democracy, I find solace in the fact that these desperate attempts to manipulate perceptions only serve to strengthen my resolve to vote.
The strategy of flooding the zone with fake polls is not new, and it’s evident that the GOP is resorting to desperate measures to create a false narrative of Trump’s momentum. It’s clear that these tactics are designed to rile up Trump’s base, sow doubt among Harris supporters, and provide a scapegoat for Trump in case of defeat.… Continue reading
