Demented Trump says terrorists "smart" in speech that horrifies world
In a recent speech at Club 47 in West Palm Beach, former President Donald Trump delivered a divisive and unhinged address to his supporters. Trump targeted President Joe Biden, accusing him of endangering Israel by supposedly aligning with “bloodthirsty jihadis,” while providing no concrete explanation or evidence for his allegations. The speech also featured Trump indulging in xenophobia, invoking Barack Obama's middle name, and making a number of transphobic remarks. Beyond that, Trump made grandiose claims about his ability to resolve complex international conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war and the Israel-Hamas conflict. This speech highlights the corrosive nature of Trump's rhetoric, which assigns blame to Biden for a wide range of global geopolitical issues, all while prioritizing personal interests over national security and the welfare of the nation.
A left that refuses to condemn mass murder is doomed
New York Magazine writer Eric Levitz published an article this week called “A Left that Refuses to Condemn Mass Murder is Doomed.” The article highlights some of the troubling responses on the left to Hamas’s recent terrorist attack that resulted in thousands of casualties. It criticizes the lack of unequivocal condemnation from some left-leaning individuals and urges a recommitment to progressive values, including the equal worth of all human lives and opposition to war crimes. Levitz argues that failing to condemn such acts not only goes against core progressive values but is also politically self-defeating. The piece stresses the importance of maintaining moral authority and calls for a nuanced and empathetic approach to complex conflicts, emphasizing the need to condemn terrorism and violence regardless of the circumstances.

Grown man Matt Walsh visibly confused about sexual orientation
Matt Walsh from The Daily Wire made himself look extremely foolish while discussing sexual orientation on his show this week. Walsh questioned the idea that if someone is born gay, it implies the existence of gay infants. The conversation went on to examine the concept of a “gay gene” and the argument that sexual orientation is unchangeable. While sexual preferences can be influenced by various factors, this doesn't necessarily mean one's orientation is not innate. Sexual orientation typically becomes evident as individuals grow older and it is not a matter of conscious choice, whether someone is heterosexual or LGBTQ+. It also is not true that abuse can cause someone to be gay, as scientific consensus suggests that trauma and abuse don't determine one's sexual orientation but may affect how individuals grapple with their identity. Despite how these discussions have been largely settled, Matt Walsh acts as if they aren’t, lowering the public discourse and fostering an unwelcome environment.

George Santos RUNS AWAY when confronted with criminal charges
Congressman George Santos is currently under significant legal scrutiny as he faces a new 23-count superseding indictment filed in federal court in New York. This latest indictment alleges a range of campaign finance violations, including inflating campaign fundraising numbers and making unauthorized charges to campaign contributors' credit cards. Notably, this new legal challenge compounds the problems for the 35-year-old politician, who had previously entered a not-guilty plea in response to a 13-count indictment. With an expanding list of charges, Santos, a staunch advocate of conservative principles, now confronts the very real possibility of serving prison time. When questioned by reporters about these charges, Santos professed his innocence while being as evasive as possible. Despite the controversy surrounding him, Santos remains adamant about not resigning from his Congressional position. It will soon be up to House Republicans to choose whether to oust him from office and if they fail to, Long Island voters likely will in the 2024 election.
