Trump’s Unauthorized Strike in Venezuela: No Evidence, No Oversight
On September 2, 2025, Trump ordered an unauthorized military strike on a small vessel in international waters off the coast of Venezuela. The boat was allegedly carrying narcotics for the Tren de Aragua gang, a criminal organization with roots in Venezuela’s prison system. The strike killed 11 people instantly, and the footage was posted by…

“I’m not a dictator. I’m a man with great common sense and a smart person.”
“I’m not a dictator. I’m a man with great common sense and a smart person.” That’s what Trump said last week while defending his decision to deploy National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. Let’s be real. That statement is completely inane. Of course he’s not quite a dictator yet. But it’s not for lack of…

The 2026 Coup: Trump’s Assault on the Ballot Box
Donald Trump is rattled. With the 2026 midterms approaching, he sees the writing on the wall. Republicans could lose the House. Maybe the Senate too. And he knows what comes next. That’s why we’re witnessing the early stages of the Trump 2026 Election Coup, a desperate attempt to rewrite the rules, suppress the vote and…

Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize: Peacemaker or Pretender?
Donald Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize. That’s certainly a notion worth pondering, preferably while trying to keep a straight face. I gave it a fair shot. Sat down at the computer, searched for a list of Americans who’ve earned that honor in recent decades. Then, with pen in hand and optimism in short supply,…

Federal Justice Under Trump: This Is What Law and Order Looks Like Now
Selective Federal justice under Trump defines the new normal: the law that was waived for rioters who beat police at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is now weaponized against a guy who tossed a sandwich at a federal officer. Justice, apparently, is a matter of political perspective. On August 14, 2025, Sean Charles Dunn, a…

We the People: Our Rights Are Not Theirs to Take
The Constitution is not a gift from government. It’s a declaration of our authority. It is a compact among the American people, drafted by our Founders and ratified by representatives chosen to reflect our will. Local, state and federal governments were created by us; not to rule over us, but to serve us. They enjoy…

Gerrymandering in Action: The Threat to Fair Representation
Back in college, studying political science was one of the most energizing times of my life. I dove into everything: how the American system works, political parties, campaign finance, the Constitution, international law. I loved it. I thought for a while about going further, maybe law school. But the mountain of debt? Yeah, that brought…

Republican Party Loyalty Over Country: How Duty Was Abandoned
With the exception of roughly a six-month period, I’ve been an Independent. To be blunt, I don’t like political parties any more than some of our Founding Fathers did. George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson all warned against the dangers of factionalism. Today, their fears are realized in the Republican…

I’m Proud to Be an American, But…
I was raised to believe in the extraordinary promise of America, a nation forged by dreamers, fighters and visionaries who didn’t wait for permission to change the world. But Trump’s impact on American values has tested that promise, challenging the soul of a country where liberty isn’t just an ideal but a legacy built into…

Projection as Deflection: The Real Danger Behind Trump’s Betrayal Language
Weaponizing the Word ‘Traitor’ Donald Trump’s traitor rhetoric isn’t just verbal aggression—it’s a strategic deflection. From generals and journalists to presidents and protestors, he’s turned accusations of betrayal into political weapons, repurposing patriotism as a loyalty test. But when we examine the record, from inciting insurrection to mishandling classified intelligence, another picture emerges: one of…
