Who is Really Weaponizing the Courts?
Donald Trump wants you to believe he’s a martyr—dragged into courtrooms by a weaponized justice system, a tragic hero persecuted by the establishment. Cue the violins. But in the real world, Trump hasn’t just been in court—he’s practically lived there. He’d have you believe that he’s a poor, persecuted soul, besieged by a cabal of leftist prosecutors, corrupt judges, and deep state saboteurs who have the audacity—the gall—to treat him like an ordinary citizen subject to laws. Every courtroom appearance is framed as a martyrdom, every legal defeat spun into some overwrought conspiracy theory. He’s not on trial—he’s the lead character in a paranoid delusion that we're all supposed to buy into, apparently.

Tesla Takedown Goes Global

When did we elect sadists and cowards into office?
I knew Trump 2.0 would be bad, but I didn’t expect America to turn into Hogwarts under Dolores Umbridge overnight. The new Trump administration is full of sycophants and sadistic loyalists. Congressional Republicans are following orders like they’re preparing for the Nuremberg trials. Meanwhile, Democrats are still in a state of shock and disbelief after they lost the election.

Why Donald Trump and Elon Musk's Grand Plan Would Never Work as Much as Donald Promised
Holy crap! On one hand, kudos to you Mr. President. On the other, what were you thinking? I remember the last time I uttered those words about Donald J. Trump. He was still the 45th president, it was January 6th, and even as a poor Illinoisian who would never have gone to Washington D.C. that week after seeing the days of alerts, I knew that what he said was poorly chosen.

Are We Great, Yet?
America now sits 62 days into a new administration and watched the country either become great, or flipped upside down based on your political perspective. Democrats in office feel powerless because the three branches of government are Republican controlled. Americans who are angry are fighting against elected officials at town hall meetings, or protesting in the streets. Almost every day the country makes international headline with a new executive order flying out from the oval office, each one directed towards reshaping Americans’ lives. To fellow Americans, I have a few questions regarding if we are great, yet.

There is more than meets the eye in El Salvador.
Pacific Ocean beaches, volcanoes, coffee farms, Mayan Ruins. There is more than meets the eye with El Salvador. Human rights violations, U.S. deportations, Venezuelans, "the world's coolest dictator," and an American King. Typically, when you search online for a Central American country, you get a bunch of images of beautiful beaches, jungles, and travel options. Right now, you get a bunch of political news stories about jails in El Salvador and where our self-declared king is threatening to send people. The new relationship between the United States and El Salvador marks a turning point in our history. This isn't just about jails and immigration policies. This is a clear indication of the direction we are headed in. We aren’t sailing into a storm. We're already in one, and we're hanging on for dear life.

Trump, Imran Khan, and the Military: Pakistan’s Political Deadlock
When addressing Congress, President Trump thanked the government of Pakistan for assisting in the capture of an individual allegedly responsible for a bomb attack during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. This statement has sparked debate, particularly within Pakistani social circles. Many believed that once Mr. Trump returned to office, he would take steps to promote democracy. However, these hopes were shattered when he acknowledged the efforts of Pakistan’s current government — a government that, according to a lot of visible evidence, stole the people’s mandate in the general elections of February 8, 2024.

The Blatant Disrespect of a Baseball Legend
Just a fair warning that I'm going to go on a bit of a rant. Recently, I ran into a story online that I wanted to talk about. As a baseball fan, I couldn't let what I'm about to say go. It was about an article mentioning the late, great Jackie Robinson's time in the Army deleted from the Department of Defense's website. In case you're not up to speed about what's behind this, President Trump signed an executive order to purge DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs from the U.S. Government. This was one of his campaign promises. That means erasing any mention of Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ figures who came before us. When asked for the reason behind this move, Pentagon press secretary John Ullyot stated it was done to stop what he called "Woke cultural Marxism." The Pentagon claimed that everyone at the Defense Department respected Jackie Robinson, which I didn't buy one bit. If they truly respected him, the article about him serving in the Army wouldn't have been deleted. This was 100% a racially motivated move on their part.

Public Service Loan Forgiveness
Public Service Loan Forgiveness. A program that every public school teacher should apply for and have their student loans forgiven, especially educators who work at a Title 1 schools (80% of the school’s student population derives from low-income families). The Biden Administration began a program to make this a reality for many educators and student loan borrowers. Our current administration revoked it and released a new executive order regarding loan forgiveness (see below for the executive order).
