In a live election special, Jon Stewart urged viewers to resist drawing definitive conclusions from the election results, emphasizing the uncertainty and volatility of the political landscape. He highlighted the tendency for pundits to make pronouncements with false certainty, referencing past examples where predictions about the future of America proved inaccurate. Stewart countered the sense of finality surrounding the election, reminding viewers that the work of creating a better society is ongoing and requires continued effort. Despite a close race, Stewart expressed optimism, urging viewers to “regroup and continue to fight” for a brighter future.

On his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver urged undecided and reluctant voters to vote for Kamala Harris in the US Election. Oliver reasoned that he supports Harris’ proposals including expanding Medicare for elder care, expanding reproductive freedoms, and improving the incomes of poorer Americans. Oliver addressed those voters unhappy about the Biden administration’s policy toward the war in Gaza, saying he understands their reluctance but voting for Harris was better than allowing Trump to win. He expressed concern over the potential long-lasting damage of a second Trump term, including the possibility of Trump replacing Supreme Court Justices. Oliver emphasised the importance of voting, despite the politics being uninspiring, as it is a constant fight towards justice.

Donald Trump, the former US president, seemed to forget what state he was in during a rally speech in Kinston, North Carolina. He discussed his hopeful ousting of Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, making light of McConnell’s previous endorsement of him. Trump proceeded to laud “great Republicans,” erroneously referencing David McCormick, a Senate candidate running in Pennsylvania, to a North Carolina crowd. This mistake seemed to stem from the fact that Trump had been in Pennsylvania earlier in the day.

Elon Musk’s suggestion to appoint Chick-fil-A in charge of managing the southern border is a mind-boggling idea that reflects the absurdity of our current political discourse. While I’m sure Musk intended it as a humorous or thought-provoking notion, it exposes a troubling trend of conflating serious governance issues with brand identity and corporate efficiency. Chick-fil-A is undeniably known for its quick service and delicious chicken sandwiches, but managing a border? To me, this feels like a profound mischaracterization of what governance requires.
Chick-fil-A, a company that has gained a controversial reputation due to its ownership’s stance on LGBTQ+ issues, can hardly be seen as a responsible authority on immigration and border control.… Continue reading
I’m voting for Kamala Harris, not because I believe she is owed a presidency but because I, along with countless others, deserve the future she’s championing. It’s clear to me that what is at stake extends far beyond Harris’s qualifications or my personal preferences; it’s about the stark contrast between her vision and the destructive path that Donald Trump represents. I tire of the chaotic whirlwind that seemed to define Trump’s presidency—a continuous state of drama that left me feeling exhausted and disengaged from the civic process. In contrast, the stability I’ve experienced under Biden and Harris has been refreshing, allowing me moments of peace I didn’t realize I craved so much.… Continue reading
Kentucky state Sen. Johnnie Turner’s tragic accident, which resulted in his death after riding his lawn mower into an empty swimming pool, leaves a complex array of emotions and reflections swirling in my mind. The absurdity of the situation, combined with the undeniable sadness of losing a person, tugs at the strings of my thoughts. Here’s a man of political stature, a figure who served his community, meeting an untimely end in a way that seems almost farcical, yet painfully real.
I find myself grappling with the question of how such a fate could befall someone in his position. Was there an underlying medical event that clouded his judgment?… Continue reading
Trump’s recent attempt to troll Kamala Harris by serving French fries at a Pennsylvania McDonald’s left me both bemused and bewildered. The spectacle unfolded like a poorly scripted reality TV show, complete with staged scenes and an array of overly enthusiastic supporters. It felt less like an attempt to make a clever political statement and more like a caricature of his presidency, all baked into an image of a former president playing pretend in the realm of fast food.
The very act of serving fries in a closed McDonald’s, which was clearly a setup for a photo op, raises more questions than it answers.… Continue reading
It’s no secret that Dave Bautista holds nothing back when it comes to expressing his opinions, and his recent roast of Donald Trump on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was nothing short of epic. Bautista didn’t mince words, calling out Trump’s perceived masculinity with brutal zingers that left no room for interpretation.
When Bautista compared Trump to wearing more makeup than Dolly Parton and having a gut like a “garbage bag full of buttermilk,” it was clear that he was not holding back. The image he painted of Trump as a whiny, cowardly man-child hiding behind a facade of toughness was both hilarious and unapologetically honest.… Continue reading
Trump’s latest outburst on Truth Social demanding that Kamala Harris be investigated and forced off the campaign trail is yet another display of his petulant and entitlement-driven behavior. It seems like he just can’t handle the fact that Harris, a formidable opponent, is standing in his way. The blatant desperation in his tone only serves to highlight his insecurities and fear of losing.
Throughout his political career, Trump has shown a pattern of attempting to bend the rules to suit his own needs. From insisting that Hillary Clinton shouldn’t be allowed to run for president to claiming that Joe Biden should drop out of the race, it’s clear that he has a deep-rooted aversion to facing strong opponents.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief when I read about Trump being condemned for swearing in front of priests at a Catholic dinner. It seems like a situation straight out of a satirical comedy sketch, but unfortunately, it’s all too real. The sheer audacity of his actions, coupled with the lack of respect shown even in such a sacred setting, truly leaves me speechless.
One cannot help but wonder, as the comments suggest, about the state of moral decay that has led us to a point where the leader of the free world can be so callous and disrespectful in the presence of religious figures.… Continue reading

I’m Voting Harris Not Because She Deserves it But Because I Do | I deserve many of the things that Kamala Harris is proposing and we all deserve a break from Donald Trump.
