Jennifer Nassour

Women on the right need a safe space to discuss politics, policy, news, and ownership over the fact that it is ok to agree to disagree. It is our First Amendment right to free speech. Before we can even out the number of women in our local, state, & federal governments, we need to empower women to feel comfortable and confident discussing these and other topics. My name is Jennifer. I’m a single mom of three girls living in Boston. I’m a lawyer with two political science degrees, and I have no

91—that’s the number of indictments former President of the United States Donald Trump currently has against him. Recently, Trump was indicted in Georgia for allegedly leading a “criminal racketeering enterprise” to unlawfully change the results of the 2020 presidential elections. I don’t know about you, but if I get a parking ticket, I get stressed out. I can’t imagine having 91 indictments against me. Yet, not only is Trump defending against the allegations leveled against him—he’s also

Do you ever feel like you’re living on Mars? Do you sometimes look at the news and, all of a sudden, you hear the Talking Heads song in your head and think “How did I get here?” Do you ever wonder if politicians ask themselves “My God, what have I done?” or “Am I right? Am I wrong?” If you do, then you must have been watching the news about Ron DeSantis, who continues to serve as the Governor of Florida while campaigning for the Republican Party nomination in the 2024 presidential primaries.

What could young female voices do to improve the world for their own generation? Women drive 70 to 80 percent of all consumer purchasing though their buying power and influence, yet their views, opinions, and voices are seldom heard on the political platform when it comes to fiscal responsibility. Women are the child-bearers and, often, the primary child caregivers, yet our voices are often muted when it comes to topics like abortion and education. We have young women out there who are defying the

2023/06/22

With the previous administration came an extraordinary level of personal abuse against the president. Now, the current president faces a subdued level of the same thing. What the personal attackers of both presidents miss is that an elected official’s ability to do their job has nothing to do with their personality. Isn’t it time we started focusing on the policy? Today, I talk about why politicians should be voted for based on their policy, rather than on how much we like them personally. I

Women haven’t always been part of the political landscape. Trailblazers like Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor fought for the right to represent their country, make laws that make us all more equal, and inspired generations of women to get involved in politics, like me. Justice O’Connor’s career inspired me to change my major in college from biology to political science.

The 2022 Primary Election season is an interesting time, one that will eventually become a very interesting study for future campaigns and political science students. Across the very blue states of New England, including here in Massachusetts, we are winding down our Primary Election season with a majority of our political offices being Democratic-led. But, atleast we have a Republican in our corner office – our governor, Charlie Baker – who has made very sound fiscal policy decisions, putting

Being a mother is the most important job in the world. So why are moms given so little support, recognition, and respect? As a mom and a career woman, I’ve faced a double standard that men never even have to consider. I lost count of the number of people who questioned me about where my children were and who was taking care of them. Did my ex-husband ever face this kind of interrogation? Of course not. My experience isn’t unique, moms across the country are burning the candle at both ends,

My idea of fairness compared to Joe Biden’s are two very different things. While Biden wants to give people a free pass and endorse sitting at home, playing video games and eating snacks while getting paid for it, I think everyone should work and contribute to society. Biden also thinks it’s fair that the reputation and standing of the U.S. should suffer so that he can retain the power of the presidency. But is it fair for the U.S. to be represented on the world stage by an 80-year-old man who is

As a fiscal conservative, it makes my blood boil to see liberal hypocrisy around money, especially their outrage over whose money they deem acceptable and will accept. Donations from convicted criminals like Jeffrey Epstein are welcomed with open arms, while donations from Republican supporters are met with protests and outrage. Why should it matter who donations come from when donors don’t have any say about where the money goes or have any input into university policy? This week I address the

I have spent some time around guns, know how to fire a weapon, and am a proud supporter of the Second Amendment so I know a thing or two about what responsible firearm ownership looks like. That’s why the tragic school shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville that killed three adults and three nine-year-old children is so shocking and horrific. Guns aren’t the problem. The problem is who has access to the guns. Our lawmakers are letting us down by failing to pass laws that would keep guns out of
