Share: It’s not the first time we, the public, experience anxiety due to an upcoming flight. The typical concerns revolve around preparation and transportation to the airport; should we pack another pair of shoes, check-in a bag or take a small carry-on? At worst, the biggest fear is usually a delayed flight, that was until we started seeing reports of doors flying out in mid air, and aircrafts losing their landing gear last year. To make matters worse, President Trump has made the foolish decision …
Political Dissident: We are all puppets in an oligarchical playground
Share: It has been a month since Donald Trump took office as president of the United States. In that month, he has signed upwards of 65 executive orders, has threatened to take over multiple countries, and has given more authority to a South African billionaire than ever before seen in US politics. Trump has precisely and effectively whittled down those in the white house who may disagree with him, and has surrounded himself in unprecedented ways with yes men who will bow down to …
DOGE-Ball: Loyalty is the name of the game
Share: Donald Trump and his administration have once again pushed the boundaries of political power with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which eerily mirrors the actions a fascist would take in attempting a coup d’etat. Within a month, Musk, the world’s richest man, and his team have cut, fired, and dismantled government programs and employees, all in the name of cost-cutting. However, DOGE is really just a fast-paced plan to deconstruct the government and rebuild it into an entity with nothing but unyielding …
Joe Biden’s pardon of his son is mired in hypocrisy
Share: Joe Biden’s recent pardoning of his son Hunter Biden for his federal tax evasion and illegal firearm possession is disgraceful and a stain to the democratic party. It is incredibly evident that Biden does not care for the integrity of his party or for himself anymore considering it is highly unlikely he will ever run for president again, it seems he just doesn’t care about his presidential promises now that he is exiting office. Hunter Biden was accused of illegally purchasing a firearm in …
Trump lied about Project 25 but welcoming all its goons into the White House
Share: Trump has likely lied once again, but the revelation is horrifying more so than it is obvious. This new lie of his revolves around Project 2025, a conservative wishlist written by various authors. The conservative initiative was published by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that has rejected fighting against climate change, believes that the Black Lives Matter organization is a Marxist insurgency ploy, and has less than positive views on critical race theory. It isn’t too hard to understand why anyone who …
Trump’s secret donors prove America needs to stop electing liars
Share: With Donald Trump recently keeping his presidential transition donors a secret, he continues to push the boundaries of how unpresidential a singular man can be, and he doesn’t give a damn at all. Regardless of how much of a troglodyte Trump is, the public needs to also focus attention to whom he keeps in his circle. Especially since they hold just as much (if not more) power than Trump has, and many of them also enjoy the luxury of obscurity. Trump has been keeping …
Trump’s Second Act
Share: Three weeks have passed since Americans reelected a man who cannot legally own a gun, yet will once again assume the role of commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces. For many, Donald Trump’s improbable political comeback has been a moment of reckoning—particularly in liberal strongholds like Los Angeles, where his victory blindsided many who underestimated the durability of his populist appeal. Beyond the shock of the election, however, it is Trump’s Cabinet picks that are stoking the most anxiety and astonishment. The irony …
Musk, and Trump, and Putin, Oh My!
Share: In recent months, Allegations of Musk’s communication with Russian President Vladimir Putin, coupled with his close ties to Trump, present a troubling intersection of technology, geopolitics, and personal ambition. This trio raises critical questions about U.S. national security, democracy, and the unchecked power of oligarchic billionaires. At the heart of the concerns are reports suggesting Musk has maintained direct contact with Putin since the onset of the Russia-Ukraine war. While these reports remain unverified, their implications are stark. Musk’s SpaceX operates Starlink, a satellite …
Keep fascism out of sports
Share: Colin Kaepernick’s blackballing by the NFL becomes an even bigger issue when players like Nick Bosa and Harrison Butker are freely allowed to display utter ignorance and bigotry. As a fan of the 49ers and as a Mexican-American, the decision of Nick Bosa to wear a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat on a postgame interview following the 49ers victory in week 8 is just preposterous. This isn’t the NFL’s first run with political discourse entering national news. Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the …
Republican promises to protect victims of rape are mired in blatant hypocrisy
Share: Grappling with the outcome of one of its most controversial and divisive elections, America’s TV screens are flooded with a myriad of controversial campaign ads advocating for one candidate or another. Much of this recent backlash has been attributed to a series of ads run by candidate Juan Ciscomani, a republican politician running for the seat of Arizona’s 6th congressional district. In late September, Ciscomani published a series of political ads in which he clarified his stance on issues such as abortion and contraceptive …
