I have to admit, when I sat down to watch Kamala Harris’ CNN interview, I wasn’t expecting much. In today’s media landscape, where sensationalism and controversy seem to reign supreme, a calm and collected discussion with a political leader doesn’t exactly scream “great TV”. But you know what? That’s perfectly okay.
It seems that the days of in-depth policy discussions and respectful dialogue have been long gone, replaced by flashy headlines and gotcha questions. And yet, as I watched Kamala Harris navigate her way through the interview with presidential grace and clarity, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.… Continue reading
I can’t help but shake my head at the recent news of Trump complaining about spending ‘$100 million’ to beat Biden before he dropped out of the race. It’s quite amusing to see him whine about the money he invested in tearing down his opponent rather than focusing on promoting his own policies. Maybe if he had shifted his strategy to highlight his strengths and plans for the country, he wouldn’t be feeling so regretful now.
It’s evident that Trump’s campaign was centered around attacking Biden rather than showcasing his own platform. This shortsighted approach has clearly backfired, leaving him in a state of disappointment and frustration.… Continue reading
As I watched the Democratic National Convention unfold this year, something felt different. It was like a breath of fresh air, a wave of new energy, and a sense of optimism that I hadn’t felt in previous years. The lineup of speakers was impressive – from Warnock to AOC to Crockett, all sharing their passion and vision for a brighter future. And the shift in leadership was undeniable. The torch was finally being passed to a new generation, one that resonates with the average American and knows how to effectively communicate their message.
For too long, politics seemed to be dominated by geriatric old men, stuck in their ways and unable to connect with the changing times.… Continue reading
When I think about the current landscape of the Republican Party compared to the Obamas, it becomes abundantly clear that there is no one even close to their weight class. The contrast between the grace, intelligence, and charisma of Barack and Michelle Obama to the chaotic, divisive, and often nonsensical rhetoric coming from the GOP is staggering.
The Obamas are a class act, a power couple that exudes leadership and integrity. Barack Obama is a master orator, able to captivate and inspire audiences with his words. His speeches are not just political rhetoric but a call to unity, progress, and hope.… Continue reading
Trust is a fragile thing, easily broken and hard to repair once shattered. In a world where skepticism runs rampant and deceit seems to be the norm, it’s no wonder a viral list titled “Things I Trust More Than Donald Trump” has taken social media by storm. And at the top of that list? Flint, Michigan tap water. Yes, the very water that has been poisoned due to government negligence is considered more trustworthy than the man who once held the highest office in the land.
Gas station sushi, Bill Cosby as a bartender, Taco Bell bathrooms, Tom Brady inflating tires – the list goes on and on, each item more absurd than the last.… Continue reading
Harris Shut Down Trumpian ‘Lock Him Up’ Chants
Addressing a crowd in Wisconsin, Vice President Kamala Harris showcased true leadership by shutting down Trumpian ‘Lock Him Up’ chants. Her response was nothing short of presidential. Instead of indulging in the divisive rhetoric that has plagued political rallies in recent years, she calmly reminded the audience that the courts will handle such matters, and the focus should be on beating Trump at the ballot box in November.
This incident reminded me of an episode from Senator John McCain’s campaign, where he shut down a supporter who made derogatory remarks about then-candidate Barack Obama.… Continue reading
In the world of politics, there are certain expectations that come with being a public figure, especially a presidential candidate. In recent events at the NABJ event, we witnessed a prime example of how someone in power can unravel when faced with tough questions. The simple inquiry of ‘why should black people vote for you’ seemed to strike a nerve with a certain individual who prides himself on being tough. However, the reaction we saw was far from strong, more akin to a petulant child throwing a tantrum.
This reaction is not only concerning but also telling of a deeper issue at hand.… Continue reading
As I sit down to reflect on the recent events surrounding Kamala Harris daring Trump to debate her as she campaigns in Atlanta, one thing is crystal clear – this is a game-changer. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as Harris exudes charisma and confidence that are off the charts. It’s a breath of fresh air to see someone taking on Trump head-on, not holding back, and saying “Say it to my face.” It’s about time someone called out that blustering bully for what he truly is.
The impact that Harris is making is undeniable. Her energy, positivity, and assertiveness are resonating with voters from all walks of life.… Continue reading
‘I’m watching you, kid. I love you’: Biden calls in on Harris at campaign HQ
I have to admit, when I first heard about Joe Biden stepping aside in the middle of the race and endorsing Kamala Harris, I had mixed feelings. But as I delved deeper into the dynamics at play, it became clear that this move was truly remarkable. It was a display of strength, unity, and selflessness that is rarely seen in politics today.
The relationship between Biden and Harris is a shining example of true camaraderie and support, which stands in stark contrast to the toxic dynamic between Trump and his former VP.… Continue reading
I find myself in a whirlwind of emotions and opinions surrounding the notion that Kamala Harris is the “only choice” to replace Biden as the clock ticks down, as claimed by voices within the Democratic Party. The sentiments expressed by fellow Democrats showcase a mix of frustration, doubt, and even fear about the potential repercussions of such a decision. The call for a swift and decisive resolution is echoed loud and clear, highlighting the urgency of the situation at hand. The lack of clarity and consensus within the party is concerning, and the implications of a rushed or ill-considered decision could prove detrimental in the upcoming political arena.… Continue reading
