It’s truly heartbreaking to hear about the devastating road rage incident that resulted in the senseless murder of a father while his three young children watched in horror from inside the car. The fact that this tragedy unfolded due to a petty traffic disagreement is beyond comprehension.

The impact on the victim’s family, especially the children who will grow up without a father, is immeasurable.
Looking at the mugshot of the perpetrator, one can’t help but feel anger and disgust. He displayed a complete lack of regard for human life, choosing to escalate a minor traffic issue to a deadly confrontation.… Continue reading
Rudy Giuliani’s daughter speaking out about how Trump took her dad from her truly hits home for me.

Two Ohio grandparents, Mike and Melissa H., were both lifelong Republican voters, but they recently left the GOP because its anti-transgender politics threaten the well-being of their trans grandchild.

It is heartening to see Mike and Melissa stand up for their family and realize the harmful impact of transphobic policies on their daughter and grandchild. Their decision to switch their political allegiance in support of their family is a commendable act of empathy and compassion.… Continue reading
I can’t say that I’m shocked by the news that Trump appears to be ditching Barron’s graduation for a fundraiser. Let’s be real, did anyone actually think he would prioritize his son over a fundraising event? The man’s priorities are crystal clear, and his children don’t seem to be at the top of the list. It’s a sad state of affairs when a father can’t even make time to celebrate his son’s academic achievements.
