By: Austin Abbring May 17, 2026 	Donald Trump continues to find ways to agitate and betray his base. This time, he has offended arguably his most loyal voters, the evangelicals. Following his feud with the pope and posting an AI image of himself depicted as Jesus healing a man (who eerily resembles Jeffrey Epstein), or, depending on what circle you are in, a medic or a red-cross worker, Trump...]]></description><link>https://www.lefttoprogressblog.com/post/template-how-to-write-a-recipe-post-2-11</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a08cda7df43effc8ce045a0</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 20:19:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/65874f_8aee1300251b4dbc80e21820f0a87a2f~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_800,h_451,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Austin Abbring</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[DNC Chair Ken Martin and the DNC 2024 Autopsy Report]]></title><description><![CDATA[We do not even need it to recognize where the Democratic Party has gone wrong By: Austin Abbring May 17, 2026 	You may have missed it, but DNC Chair Ken Martin had a disastrous appearance on the podcast, Pod Save America, and it exemplifies everything wrong with this current iteration of the Democratic Party. When pressed on releasing the 2024 DNC autopsy report, Martin refused to give a definitive answer on when it would be available.

Of course, this corruption has infiltrated both parties to varying degrees throughout our history. That is an undeniable fact. We could all argue about who has been more corrupt, who has done what, and which corruption has caused the most widespread and long-term damage.

By: Austin Abbring May 17, 2026 	It is no secret that Donald Trump’s rhetoric has been divisive for well over a decade. This is the man who entered politics proclaiming that Barack Obama was born in Kenya, rather than the United States, with no evidence. You could just tell where we were headed from there.

He has done nothing to hide his unabashed debauched view of women and, in some instances, minors. In 2023, he was held civilly liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.

The practice has been around under this name since 1812, but can be traced back to the late 1780’s. In that time, both political parties in this country have enacted odd-shaped districts to maintain power. Historically, Republicans have held the advantage, meaning they have used this practice much more frequently over the last 200 years. In fact, since 2010 alone, Republicans have gained around 20...]]></description><link>https://www.lefttoprogressblog.com/post/template-how-to-write-a-recipe-post-2-1</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a08c0630b9e4f37fd283142</guid><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2026 19:12:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/65874f_d9284cd98aa2490299be42d6e146c064~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Austin Abbring</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Iran War Is Far Too Reminiscent of Iraq]]></title><description><![CDATA[Explore three reasons why.
