‘Why am I even doing this?’: Vance melts down after CNN presses him on Ohio bomb threats

“Why am I even doing this?” Vance asks after being pressed by CNN on Ohio bomb threats. Well, Vance, maybe it’s because spreading baseless lies and inciting violence with your words is not something that should go unchecked. Maybe it’s because as a supposed leader, you bear some responsibility for the consequences of your actions. Maybe it’s because deflecting blame and playing the victim when called out on your dangerous rhetoric is weak and cowardly.

It’s incredibly disturbing to see someone like J.D. Vance, who is running for VP alongside Trump, resort to lies and manipulation to further his own agenda.… Continue reading

Wagner: Where is the avalanche of coverage of Trump’s cognitive decline?

The lack of coverage on Trump’s cognitive decline is not only baffling but deeply concerning. As someone who works closely with pro-Trump individuals, I have witnessed the fervent support for a man whose mental faculties seem to be deteriorating before our very eyes. The media’s reluctance to address this issue head-on is alarming, especially considering the grave implications of having a leader with cognitive decline in charge of the most powerful country in the world.

It is mind-boggling to me how Trump’s outlandish statements and erratic behavior are brushed off as “Trump being Trump” while any scrutiny of his mental acuity is conspicuously absent from mainstream news outlets.… Continue reading

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lashes out at “predatory” Jill Stein

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently made a statement about Green Party presidential candidate, Jill Stein, calling her “predatory” for continuously running for president without making any significant progress in growing the party at the grassroots level. When I read about this incident, I find it amusing how the media twists her words into “lashing out”, when in reality she was just stating the obvious. It’s like having a basketball coach who never makes it to the playoffs, doesn’t recruit new talent, and consistently loses every season – would you still consider them fit to coach? I doubt it. AOC’s logic in this scenario is crystal clear, and it’s refreshing to see someone cutting through the political jargon and speaking the truth.… Continue reading

Lauren Boebert repeatedly demands Joe Biden proves he’s not dead

Lauren Boebert is at it again, making outrageous demands that Joe Biden prove he’s not dead. The sheer absurdity of this situation is almost comical if it weren’t for the fact that she holds a position of power as a representative in Congress. It’s truly mind-boggling to witness someone in such a position continuously engage in behavior that is not only unprofessional but also a waste of time and resources.

One has to wonder, what motivates Boebert to repeatedly make these demands? Is it a desperate attempt to cling to relevancy, to deflect attention from her own shortcomings and lack of accomplishments, or simply to rile up her base with baseless conspiracy theories?… Continue reading

It’s time to talk about Donald Trump’s age

Trump’s age has been a rising concern amongst critics, drawing attention to his cognitive abilities and physical stamina. As the oldest nominee in history, he has faced backlash for his frequent memory lapses and inability to stay awake during important events. The question looms – is he fit to lead a nation, or has his age caught up with him?

But amidst all these arguments about his age, it’s essential to remember the more pressing issues at hand. Trump’s disturbing connections to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, allegations of sexual assault, and his attempts to undermine democracy during the Capitol insurrection should be at the forefront of discussions.… Continue reading

Houston-area residents frustrated as they enter sixth day without power and air conditioning in punishing heat|CNN

As a long-time Houston resident, the past week has been a grueling test of patience and endurance. The scorching heat without the relief of air conditioning has not only made daily tasks unbearable but has pushed many to their breaking point. I can empathize with the frustration and helplessness that comes with not knowing when the power will be restored, as my own neighborhood is still in the dark.

The lack of communication from authorities regarding the restoration efforts only adds to the anxiety and uncertainty. It’s disheartening to see essential facilities like hospitals and schools struggling to function without power, putting the most vulnerable members of our community at risk.… Continue reading

Lauren Boebert is laughed at on the House floor as she’s fact-checked by EPA head

Lauren Boebert, where do I even begin with this woman? It’s truly mind-boggling how someone so factually challenged manages to keep getting elected. The recent incident where she was fact-checked by the EPA head and subsequently laughed at on the House floor is just the latest in a long line of embarrassing moments for Boebert.

What strikes me the most is her blatant lack of awareness of her own ignorance. She confidently spews false information without a care in the world, only to be called out and ridiculed by those who actually know what they’re talking about. It’s baffling how she continues to operate in this manner without a hint of shame or self-awareness.… Continue reading

Former Trump aide Steve Bannon ordered to jail by July 1 after bail revoked

A federal judge has ordered former Trump aide Steve Bannon to report to jail by July 1 to begin serving a four-month sentence for his criminal contempt of Congress conviction. This decision comes after three weeks of federal prosecutors pushing the judge to lift a stay on Bannon’s sentence pending an appeal. The appeals court panel upheld Bannon’s conviction, leading to this long-awaited ruling.

Bannon’s lawyer, David Schoen, expressed emotional reactions to the judge’s order, arguing fervently against the decision. Despite Schoen’s objections, Judge Nichols stood firm on the ruling, stating that Bannon must comply with the law. This development marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal battles surrounding Bannon’s actions.… Continue reading

Felon Trump Just Escalated His Most Insane Lie About Biden

When I think about the outrageous lie that convicted felon Trump recently escalated about President Biden authorizing the FBI to shoot and kill him during a raid, it is truly mind-boggling. The fact that he can spew such blatant falsehoods without any repercussions is alarming. It is very telling about the state of our political landscape when a former president can openly make such dangerous and baseless claims without consequence.

Trump’s assertion that President Biden ordered his assassination is not only absurd but also incredibly dangerous. By perpetuating such outrageous lies, he is fueling the fire of division and hatred among his followers.… Continue reading

Trump says it’s “very possible” that Biden and other political rivals will have to be jailed – Trump said that his own conviction was a “terrible precedent,” claiming falsely that Biden was behind it all

I cannot wrap my head around the sheer audacity and delusion of Donald Trump. To claim that it’s “very possible” that Biden and other political rivals will have to be jailed is not only ridiculous but also incredibly dangerous rhetoric. Trump, in his classic narcissistic fashion, is always quick to play the victim and paint himself as the innocent target of a political witch hunt. The man has been convicted of numerous felonies, including inciting an insurrection, yet he continues to cry foul and point fingers at everyone but himself.

It’s laughable how Trump shifts the blame onto Biden, accusing him of orchestrating his own downfall.… Continue reading
