Republicans Admit in Private That They Killed a Good Deal
As an observer of American politics, it both frustrates and disappoints me to see the shortcomings of our elected representatives. Democratic Senator Michael Bennet recently revealed that his Republican colleagues privately confessed that the immigration deal they rejected was the toughest one they would ever get. This admission speaks volumes about their true intentions and their commitment to public service.
One would think that those who enter politics do so with the intention of serving the public and making positive changes. However, it seems that some Republicans are more interested in following the bidding of former President Trump and maintaining their loyalty to him than in legislating effectively.… Continue reading
Biden Takes Aim at Grocery Chains Over Food Prices
Food prices have been skyrocketing in recent years, causing significant financial strain on American families. And now, President Biden is turning his attention towards grocery chains, aiming to address this pressing issue.

The response needs to be impactful to curtail Iran’s behavior, and there are three key targets: Shahed drone production facilities/storage, Iranian drone earth terminals, and Iranian oil production facilities. By striking these targets, the U.S.… Continue reading
One of the most heated issues of financial discourse in our society today surrounds the ubiquitous and controversial bank overdraft fees. President Joe Biden has recently thrown his hat into the ring, boldly declaring these fees as not a service, but a form of exploitation. I am one with him in this sentiment. For too long, these seemingly innocuous fees have been bleeding consumers dry, especially those who are financially struggling. It indeed felt like a breath of fresh air knowing that someone in power is actively working to slash these fees.
Consider this familiar scenario: You find yourself in a tight spot one month and dip into the negatives, only to discover that on top of an already stressful financial situation, you’ve been charged an additional $30-50 by the bank.… Continue reading
