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.

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 …

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t your kid’s mom
Share: The backlash Sabrina Carpenter has faced due to her seemingly provocative performance is unfounded and misogynistic and is no different from the criticism many other women in pop culture face. Carpenter’s recent performance at the VMAs has been touted as overtly sexual and riddled with cursing and inappropriate gestures in between music sets.These “inappropriate gestures” include kissing a background dancer dressed as an alien and making a joke in between sets regarding oral sex.

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 …

However, the success of Trump can …
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.

Kardashians can’t even keep up with harmful beauty standards celebs are setting
Share: While plastic surgery has become a tool of empowerment for many people, dishonesty with celebrities in disclosing their procedures contributes to beauty standards becoming unrealistic, which is especially dangerous for impressionable, young fans. The constant presence of celebrities on billboards, in ads, in entertainment, and more, gives them the power to influence the public.
