Meeting Governor Newsom and Governor Moore left me with conflicting emotions. On one hand, their expressions of confidence in Joe Biden after their meeting seemed like a necessary step for the Democratic Party to project unity and strength. But on the other hand, it felt like a bandaid on a gaping wound that needed serious attention.
The echoes of “The president has always had our backs. We’re going to have his as well” from Governor Moore, and “Joe Biden’s had our back. Now it’s time to have his” from Governor Newsom rang hollow in my ears. It’s not that I doubt Joe Biden’s intentions or goodwill, but the stark reality is that he may not be the candidate that can excite voters and inspire change.… Continue reading
To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race. It’s a statement that seems almost laughable when you consider the self-serving nature of our former president. Throughout his time in office, Trump consistently put his own interests above those of the American people. From cozying up to dictators like Putin to inciting violence and division among citizens, it’s clear that his allegiance lies solely with himself. So why would he suddenly start caring about serving his country now?
When you look at past presidents, you can see the toll that the job takes on them. The stress, the responsibility, the weight of the decisions they have to make – it all adds up over time.… Continue reading
As I sit here reading the outrageous suggestion made by a Washington Post columnist that Biden should replace Kamala Harris with Hillary Clinton, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The idea is not only foolish but also detrimental to the Democratic Party’s chances in the upcoming election.
It’s clear that the columnist’s suggestion is impractical and ill-advised on so many levels. The thought of replacing Harris, a competent and capable woman of color, with Clinton, a seasoned politician who has already faced defeat in a presidential election, is mind-boggling. Not to mention the fact that Clinton’s age is also a significant factor to consider.… Continue reading
Poland’s decision to invest $2.5 billion in making their border ‘impenetrable’ is a bold move that has sparked various reactions and discussions. As history has taught us, defense fortifications are not foolproof, but they do serve a crucial purpose in buying time and preparing for potential threats. The Maginot Line, often cited as a failed defensive structure, did force the Germans to divert their attacks to the Benelux countries, showing that defensive measures can have strategic value.
Given the current geopolitical climate and concerns about potential threats from Russia and beyond, it is not surprising that Poland is taking proactive steps to secure its borders.… Continue reading
Winning a special election in New York may not seem like a big deal on the surface, especially when the seat was already held by a Democrat. But let’s not overlook the significance of Democrats now having control of 213 seats in the House compared to 217 for the Republicans, with five seats remaining vacant. Every win counts, and each victory is a step towards creating a more balanced and diverse representation in Congress.
Looking at the precinct results in the recent election, some interesting patterns emerge. While we see significant leftward swings in white, suburban precincts, there are smaller shifts in majority Black precincts.… Continue reading
It’s astounding how Donald Trump continuously brings up another Democrat, Jimmy Carter, as if he is running against him instead of Joe Biden. Carter, a man of integrity and honor, dedicated his life to public service and stood by his principles, unlike Trump, who is known for his lack of ethics and self-serving behavior. Trump’s attempts to compare himself to Carter are not only laughable but also disrespectful to a man who is revered for his genuine character.
As a Georgian, I take offense when Trump and his supporters try to disparage Carter’s legacy. President Carter served honorably in the navy, showed humility, and stood up for human rights during his time in office.… Continue reading
As I read the headline that Joe Biden has a stunning 9-point lead over Donald Trump among actual voters, I can’t help but feel a mix of relief and frustration. It’s a relief to see that a majority of voters are seemingly leaning towards a candidate who values decency, empathy, and democracy. However, it’s frustrating to think that this lead should be much larger given the track record of the incumbent president.
The fact that Trump is even in contention to win re-election is mind-boggling. His divisive rhetoric, incompetent leadership, and dangerous actions should have made him the least popular candidate of all time.… Continue reading
The writing is on the wall for Donald Trump as he faces potential financial ruin and the real possibility of losing the 2024 election. The signs are there, and it’s clear that his cash flow issues and fraud fines are starting to catch up with him. The idea of “Deadbeat MAGA tears” may soon become a reality, as his loyal followers come to terms with the fact that his losing streak could be the end of his political career.
It’s both fascinating and concerning to witness the downfall of a once powerful figure in American politics. While some may find it amusing to watch Trump spiral into desperation, claiming election fraud and crying foul, the implications of his potential loss in 2024 go far beyond mere entertainment.… Continue reading
As I sit back and observe the chaos and self-destruction unfolding among the MAGA crowd, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief. The blind loyalty to Trump has led many down a path of eviction, arrest, and lawsuits, with no end in sight. It’s truly baffling how individuals are willing to sacrifice their careers, licenses, and everything they’ve worked for just to uphold the cult-like devotion to the orange man.
One thing that stands out is the sense of belonging and inclusion that many MAGA supporters crave. They thrive on being part of the “Wolfpack” and revel in their insider status.… Continue reading
It’s truly astounding how the truth can accidentally slip out of the mouths of Republicans, especially when they are so accustomed to spinning lies and misinformation. The recent flub by the new RNC chair, Michael Watley, where he fumbled through a statement about America being better off now than under Trump, is a perfect example of this. It’s almost comical how he tried to backtrack and stumble over his own words, but the accidental truth had already been spoken.
Let’s face it, the Trump administration was a disaster for America. From his mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic to his divisive rhetoric and inability to lead effectively, it’s no surprise that the country is in a better place under President Biden.… Continue reading
