Chair of Arizona Republican Party Resigns after Leak Reveals Alleged Bribe

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Another day, another scandal rocking the political world. This time it’s the Chair of the Arizona Republican Party, Jeff DeWit, who has found himself in hot water after a leaked audio recording exposed an alleged bribe. According to the Daily Mail, DeWit was captured on tape telling Kari Lake, a Senate race candidate, that “there are very powerful people who want to keep you out” and that “they’re willing to put their money where their mouth is, in a big way.”

Now, I must say, I’m not entirely surprised by this revelation.… Continue reading

New Transcript Blows Up James Comer’s Entire Hunter Biden Argument

As I dive into the latest developments surrounding the Hunter Biden controversy, I am left astounded by the sheer audacity of James Comer and his allies in their attempt to tarnish the reputation of Joe Biden and his family.

Reports suggest that the state Republican party attempted to sell a building it didn’t own in a bid to offset this debt—a claim that is concerning at best and scandalous at worst, and one that they reportedly failed to actualize owing to legal repercussions.… Continue reading

Capitol rioter who assaulted at least 6 police officers is sentenced to 5 years in prison

Capitol Rioter Who Assaulted At Least 6 Police Officers is Sentenced to 5 Years in Prison

As I read the headline, my blood began to boil. Five years in prison. That’s it? I couldn’t help but compare this to other cases where individuals have received much harsher sentences for far less severe crimes. It’s infuriating to see the stark contrast in the treatment of criminals based on their race, privilege, and the context in which their crimes were committed.

I recall a case in Texas where a woman mistakenly voted, and she was sentenced to the same amount of time—five years.… Continue reading
