ICE Agents’ Fear: Public Backlash and the Consequences of Actions

Following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent, public sentiment toward the agency has dramatically soured, leading to heightened tensions and fear among ICE agents nationwide.

Trump’s Strong Leader Image Eroding Among Voters: Poll Results

Donald Trump No Longer Seen as Strong Leader by Voters is the crux of the matter, and honestly, it’s a headline that’s been a long time coming.

The idea is to create a sense of normalcy, of fun, while the country is embroiled in conflict. It’s a very deliberate attempt to control the narrative and manage public perception.… Continue reading
