House Republicans Want to Ban Universal Free School Lunches
Growing up poor, school lunches were my lifeline, sometimes my only meal of the day. So, when I hear that House Republicans want to ban universal free school lunches, it strikes a chord deep within me. The idea of taking away something as basic as a meal from children who might not have another option is not only cruel but downright inhumane.
The Republican war on education seems to know no bounds. Instead of investing in our future by ensuring that all children have access to essentials like food, they are actively working to strip away the rights of our most vulnerable population.… Continue reading
I have always found it perplexing how millions of GOP voters still support Donald Trump despite his controversial and divisive nature. Losing by 7 million popular votes should have been a wake-up call, a signal to be more inclusive, but alas, that bridge was burned down in hopes that enough of the team had already crossed over. The fact that so many GOP voters express dislike for Trump yet still vote for him speaks volumes about the complexity of party loyalty and political allegiance.
It is disheartening to see that history has shown Republicans consistently coming home and voting for their nominee, regardless of personal reservations.… Continue reading
The recent news about the rejection of the motion to impeach Joe Biden by Republicans has once again brought to light the political circus that seems to be the norm in today’s society. As Representative Jared Moskowitz, a Florida Democrat, boldly called for the motion to impeach Biden, it was evident that the Republicans were not on board with this idea. The question that arises is, why continue to waste millions of taxpayers’ dollars if there is no concrete evidence of any wrongdoing?
The spectacle that unfolded during the hearing where Moskowitz challenged Chairman Jordan and Comer to call for the vote on impeachment was both entertaining and frustrating.… Continue reading
right? The evidence is out there, plain as day. The fact that there are still individuals who need convincing is mind-boggling. But then again, when you have a cult-like following, it’s no surprise that some individuals will refuse to see the truth, no matter how glaring it may be.
The numbers speak for themselves. A significant percentage of Republicans believe that Trump is guilty of a crime, yet they still plan to support him in the upcoming election. It’s a baffling contradiction that speaks to the deep-rooted tribalism and cognitive dissonance within the political landscape. How can one acknowledge someone’s guilt and still throw their support behind them?… Continue reading
Well, it seems another Republican is calling it quits and pointing fingers at the dysfunction within Congress as the reason for their abrupt exit. Representative Buck’s resignation in Colorado’s 4th District is causing a stir, especially for Representative Boebert who may now face challenges in securing a win in the upcoming elections. It raises questions about loyalty to the party versus standing up against what one perceives as wrong.
The current state of affairs within the Republican Party seems to be in shambles, with infighting and lack of cohesion prevalent. The recent departure of Buck highlights a growing trend of Republicans distancing themselves from the party, perhaps in a bid to preserve their integrity.… Continue reading
I always prided myself on being a Gay Black Republican, believing that my values aligned with the party’s core principles. I actively participated in discussions and defended my stance, confident that I belonged. But as I reflect on recent events, I can’t help but feel a sense of betrayal wash over me. The party that I once proudly identified with has revealed its true colors, and it turns out, they were never in alignment with mine.
I turned a blind eye to the lies, the intolerance, and the outright hatred that the party directed towards others. I chose to ignore the signs, hoping that I would be the exception.… 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
The GOP base has undeniably shrunk compared to the last presidential election. While the headline may grab attention, the actual decline is only slight, with a 2% decrease in those identifying as Republicans since 2020. The numbers may seem insignificant, but in the grand scheme of things, every voter counts. It is crucial to understand the implications of this shrinking base, especially in the context of the upcoming election.
Recent polls indicate that two-thirds of Republicans would still vote for Trump even if he were a convicted felon before Election Day. This unwavering loyalty is a testament to the cult-like status that Trump has attained among his supporters.… Continue reading
Living in Georgia, I have witnessed firsthand the impact that Nikki Haley had on the recent primary election. Despite dropping out of the race, Haley managed to shave a staggering 77,000 votes off Trump’s Georgia win. This significant number speaks volumes about the current political climate not only in Georgia but potentially across the country.
The fact that a substantial portion of these votes came from Election Day voters is particularly noteworthy. It suggests that many people chose to cast their ballots for Haley as a form of protest against Trump’s re-election bid. This protest vote is a clear indication of growing dissent within the GOP ranks and could signal a shift in voter sentiment away from Trump.… Continue reading
Former Vice President Mike Pence will not endorse Trump for president. This news has sparked quite a reaction across the political spectrum. Some may find it surprising, while others see it as a small glimmer of integrity in an otherwise tumultuous political landscape. The fact that Pence, who served as Trump’s right-hand man for four years, is choosing not to endorse him speaks volumes about the state of the Republican Party and the aftermath of Trump’s term in office.
Perhaps one reason Pence has chosen not to endorse Trump is due to the events of January 6th. The fact that Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building, some chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” may have left a lasting impact on the former Vice President.… Continue reading
