Trump Won? A Reaction.
An actual Image of activists and protesters nationwide after learning of Trump's 2024 Victory.

So, you marched in protest of Vice President Kamala Harris, aka"Killer Kamala" for running on the tab of the Zionist-funded Democratic party, which allegedly meant that she'd be every bit as sadistic and genocide-driven as current President Joe Biden (known on the streets as Killer Joe), if elected, but now find yourself confused, concerned, appalled perhaps even shocked by former President Donald Trump's 2024 election victory? Are you ready to take the streets to protest what feels like a completely shocking punt of the Democratic process that now threatens to create even more internal division and further erode The United States' world standing...again? Seriously, I mean seriously-- who could have seen this coming?As someone who's prone to a fair share of activism, I'll be the first to admit that sticking it to the man is cool. It feels good, and should be done regularly, with vigorous gusto. After all, sticking it to the man isn't just a constitutionally protected right (despite what the mainstream media and a few confused career politicians want to purport), but a good way to speak one's mind, apply political pressure and spend an evening (or night in jail depending on how hardcore and/or masochistic you are). In 2024, rallies are like parties for people who feel disillusioned by the country's bipartisan tradition.The point of this editorial isn't to point a finger at the activists' favorite pastime, or to disparage the often historically important messages we carry, (from the river to the sea, Palestine WILL BE FREE) but to simply point to an obvious truth:all actions have reactions.Physics geeks and Newton simps alike might even go as far as saying that all actions have equal and opposite reactions, at least according to Newton's laws of motion which appear to govern the observable universe (until they fall apart at the quantum level. Okay It's me, I'm the physics geek).With this in mind, now that the wheels of motion are effectively in motion, and Trump is slated in for another go at POTUS, what type of motion will you personally be showcasing? Hopefully, it's one that keeps Newton's laws in mind.Stay tuned for an update.
Rich Billioniare Doctor Blocks Kamala Endorsement

Los Angeles Times owner Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong has blocked his editorial staff from endorsing current vice-president, and democratic presidential nomine, Kamala Harris, on the news platform, per various sources.The self-made billionaire and South African native Soon-Shiong made the unprecedented decision to block his editorial staff at the LA Times from endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris, leading to what has been reported by numerous sources as multiple resignations by some of the LA Times' most high-profile editors.A 2016 article by reporter Damian Garde of the online news outlet Stat shed light on the former surgeon's political affiliations with former President Donald Trump. The article alleges that Soon-Shiong was interested in becoming a consultant or perhaps a high-profile member of Mr. Trump's cabinet prior to his election to a single term in 2017. Garde also pointed to Soon-Shiong's background in cancer research and his apparent interest in continuing then-Vice President Joe Biden's Moonshot Initiative, which aims to cut cancer death rates in half through the use of cutting-edge cancer immunotherapies in conjunction with a national tumor-sequencing database.A recent article in April 2024 by Politico's Erin Schumaker provides an update on the current state of the Moonshot Initiative. In her article, Schumaker argues that cancer research is no longer a bipartisan priority by highlighting President Biden's failure to find additional funding for the moonshot Initiative, which previously received $1.8 billion as part of the 21st Century Cures Act of 2016. Schumaker also points to a Republican-controlled House as a primary driver for "[arbitrary] spending cuts," a view that contrasts with that of Rep. Tom Cole of Oklahoma, who is quoted as stating that budget cuts aren't the issue when there's a $1.6 billion deficit. The article also notes that while the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a beneficiary of the Cures Act, saw a year-over-year budget decrease of $378 million—from $47.5 billion to $42.1 billion—Congress did manage to secure an additional $120 million for the National Cancer Society this year.For an AI-generated deep dive of Biden's moonshot, please feel free to visit the link above this article.
