When I see my boss wearing a shirt that says “MAKE LYING WRONG AGAIN” and the uproar it causes, it truly highlights the deep divide in our nation. The fact that some people automatically associate lying with their own candidate speaks volumes about the current state of political discourse in America. It’s interesting how those who get upset over fact-checking are the ones often caught in a web of lies. Trump’s track record of prolific lying is undeniable, yet some people seem to contest the idea of holding him accountable.
The upcoming debate between Biden and Trump has sparked controversy over the announcement of live fact-checking.… Continue reading
America lost the first Biden-Trump debate. It was a train wreck from start to finish, leaving many viewers feeling demoralized and disheartened about the state of our nation.

It is important to recognize that we are faced with three choices in this election: Biden, Trump, or allowing Trump voters to once again decide the outcome.
