Mike Johnson says there’s no rush to approve FEMA aid

As I sit here reflecting on the current state of affairs in our country, I am deeply troubled by the actions of individuals like Mike Johnson. To hear that there is no rush to approve FEMA aid in the face of impending disaster is not only disheartening but downright infuriating. The fact that politicians are playing political games with people’s lives is despicable and goes against the very core of what it means to serve the American people.

It is clear that the current Republican Party has lost its way. Instead of coming together to help those in need during times of crisis, they are more concerned with scoring political points and bowing down to the whims of a failed leader.… Continue reading

Full List of Republicans Who Voted Against FEMA Funding Before Helene Hit

As I perused the extensive list of Republicans who voted against FEMA funding before Hurricane Helene hit, I couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions ranging from disappointment to outrage. The fact that these individuals, who are supposed to represent the best interests of their constituents, blatantly disregarded the need for disaster relief funding is appalling. In times of crisis, such as natural disasters like hurricanes, the last thing people affected by these events need is their own elected officials voting against crucial aid.

Looking at the list, it’s disheartening to see names from states that are prone to hurricanes, such as Florida, Texas, and Louisiana, among others.… Continue reading

Tim Walz Just Reminded Us What Happened to Trump’s Last Running Mate | “That is a damning nonanswer.”

Tim Walz just reminded us why the truth matters in politics when he called out JD Vance for his elusive nonanswer during their recent debate. Vance’s attempt to divert the conversation by bringing up the past actions of Kamala Harris only further exposed the lack of accountability and honesty within certain political circles.

The stark reality is that Vance, like many others, is unwilling to acknowledge the truth; that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. The refusal to accept this fundamental fact speaks volumes about the integrity and moral compass of those who continue to perpetuate the false narrative of a stolen election.… Continue reading

Joy: ‘JD Vance is first U.S. senator to admit to terrorizing his state on purpose’

It is truly unsettling to witness a U.S. senator openly admit to terrorizing his own state for personal gain. JD Vance’s actions are not only selfish but also have serious consequences for the people he is supposed to represent. By perpetuating false narratives, spreading lies, and inciting fear, Vance is resorting to tactics of terrorism in order to further his own political agenda.

The fact that Vance is brazenly confessing to manipulating the press, promoting lies, and jeopardizing school children with bomb threats is a clear demonstration of his moral bankruptcy. He is knowingly causing harm to his constituents, all in the name of advancing his own interests.… Continue reading

‘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
