After some apparent reluctance, Donald Trump has finally denounced white supremacy (for now). As reported by TMZ, the newly COVID-19-positive president called into Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Thursday night, where Trump discussed the debate and the Proud Boys controversy. “Let me be clear again: I condemn the KKK. I condemn all white supremacists. I condemn the Proud […]
Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott ignited outrage on Thursday after issuing a proclamation that would make absentee voting much more difficult within the state. The controversial order limits the number of mail-in ballot drop-off sites to just one per county, and will effectively close all drop-off satellite locations beginning Friday.

“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by.” These are the words President Donald Trump proclaimed when Chris Wallace asked him to condemn right wing militias and white supremacist groups during the first presidential debate Tuesday night.

Political debates, on the national level, have historically been public theater, but yesterday night introduced America to a calamity of unprecedented levels.

Among the many insufferable moments during Tuesday’s presidential debate was when the candidates began discussing the social and economic impacts of the coronavirus. President Donald Trump defended his position to reopen the country and, at one point, took credit for bringing “football back” despite the health risks. “People want their places open. They want to get back to their […]
During Tuesday night’s presidential debate, President Donald Trump was asked to publicly denounce militia groups and white supremacists, many of whom are his staunch supporters. But Trump danced around the question and then suggested left-wing organizations posed a bigger threat to the country.

Donald Trump suggested recently that he and Joe Biden should submit to drug tests ahead of their first debate, and now Biden’s campaign has shot back. “I will be strongly demanding a Drug Test of Sleepy Joe Biden prior to, or after, the Debate on Tuesday night. Naturally, I will agree to take one also,” Trump […]
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have been endorsed by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The actor announced that he will be voting for the Democratic presidential hopeful in a video on YouTube, where Johnson had a virtual conversation with Biden and Harris. Johnson is a political independent and centrist who had voted for both parties over […]
While holding a campaign rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania on Saturday, Donald Trump made some comments about the Democrats. “The only way they can win Pennsylvania, frankly, is to cheat on the ballots,” he said. “That’s the way I look at it.” This wasn’t the first time Trump has made these claims either. During a rally he […]
