With the election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump well underway, the results of this election will serve as one of the most consequential events in American history. At a time when an authoritarian world leader is threatening the safety and security of a whole continent, climate change continues to ravage the world’s environment, and misinformation runs rampant, this election will have massive implications for the world too. What is most important and interesting about this event, however, is the fact that so much of a single candidate’s political policies and standings are known to the public, specifically in relation to Project 2025 and Donald Trump, yet are little commented on or acknowledged by the candidates themselves.

The 2024 U.S. Presidential Election will be one of American history’s most impactful and significant presidential elections. Very few other elections in modern U.S. history come close to the national, international, and long-lasting influence that such a decision will have. The choice between Kamala Harris and Tim Walz for the Democratic ticket and Donald Trump and JD Vance for the Republican ticket is a decision that has massive ramifications for every issue. As such, with so many undecided young and old voters, it is important to look at what a future Trump administration would look like and what the American people would be in for.

It is a well-known fact of life that many of those accused or even convicted of sexual assault, harassment, or abuse within the U.S. Armed Forces can go about their daily lives without much change. Many are able to lead active and personally prosperous lives while their victims in some cases are jailed, forced out of the military, or take their own lives. One such individual is Michael D. Kepner II, an honorably retired Lieutenant Colonel of the United States Army. He is a sexual assaulter who has been able to engage in an active, financially and professionally profitable life outside of the military despite a conviction and sentencing.
