Takeaways from the RNC
Some takeaways from the RNC that AP News shared:
Key points:
“It seemed at first that Trump was trying to embody a less partisan version of himself. Yet as quickly as he called for an end to the “demonization of political enemies,” he turned the issue exclusively toward Democrats, reprising his accusations that the justice system was weaponized against him.
“Trump tried to humanize his image by telling of the assassination attempt. The former president spoke in vivid detail of his experience being injured and nearly killed on Saturday. On stage was the uniform of the retired fire chief, Corey Comperatore, who was killed behind Trump.
“Trump made sweeping promises to end inflation and secure the border, but he didn’t outline any plans and mostly used crowd-pleasing talking points. The most specific he got was promising to roll back Biden administration efforts to combat climate change, redirect infrastructure spending and impose steep tariffs.”

Welcome to My New Blog
This is my first post on this website. The purpose of this blog is to share information about current events, citing sources of everything posted. Other topics may include fascinating facts, research tips and tricks, and plenty of humor.
As the “Skeptical” title implies, I want to use this website for the pursuit of truth, looking into questionable claims to discover the veracity of those claims. I intend to have a questioning attitude about claims and beliefs regarding news, society, politics, religion, etc., with the goal of providing evidence to defend or contradict those claims.
To prevent the blog from getting too serious, I also plan on including humor to help spread laughter and peace. Jokes, riddles, cartoons, and anything else I find humorous may be included.
Thanks to everyone who reads this far. I hope you are encouraged and enlightened by this website. If you have questions about topics, research methods, or anything else, I’m happy to answer them.
