Trump’s Gaza Proposal Sparks Global Outcry and Debate

President Donald Trump’s recent suggestion that the U.S. should “take over” the Gaza Strip has ignited a firestorm of criticism and debate. The proposal, made during a private meeting, has drawn sharp rebukes from Palestinian leaders and international observers. Palestinian journalist and foreign policy commentator Rula Jebreal condemned the idea, stating that it signals the death of international law. “This is a dangerous escalation that undermines decades of diplomatic efforts and the rights of Palestinians,” Jebreal argued, emphasizing the potential for further destabilization in the region. However, not all reactions have been negative. Republican strategist Scott Jennings dismissed the backlash as overly dramatic, suggesting that Trump’s comments were likely meant to provoke di...

Project 2025 Director Resigns Following Backlash from Trump

The director of Project 2025, a conservative plan for a possible second Donald Trump term—resigned amid sharp criticism emanating from different quarters, including the former president himself.

Trump vs. Harris: Their Stance on Cryptocurrency Explained

Former President Donald Trump said that he would make the U.S. the "global hub for cryptocurrency" at a conference in Nashville, Tennessee.

Bitcoin, the best-known crypto, has risen so much this year and is lending further attention to this space. Although Trump has changed his position regarding crypto from what it was when he was in office, Democratic nominee Kamala Harris remained overwhelmingly silent on the issue since President Biden picked her to succeed him. All attention toward cryptocurrency is of particular relevance to younger voters involved in disproportionate digital asset trading. The Trum...

How Kamala Harris Plans to Reconnect with Voters Who Abandoned Biden

Kamala Harris could specifically engage in issues that would bring in more support from people who are pro-abortion.

In 2020 and 2022, voters who were backing legal abortion were sharply Behind Biden and other Democrats. But recent polling shows that Biden is not getting nearly as much support from voters who back abortion rights now as he was in the last election cycle. The drop is a signif...
