Political journalist, Fred Barnes, in his journal, “Trump Gains When He Stays in the Background”, analyzes Trump’s pattern to gaining in the polls. Barnes’ purpose is to indicate what causes Trump to fall behind Clinton in the polls and then how he redeems himself to get ahead of her again. He adopts an unbiased tone in order to appeal to both sides in his adult readers. Barnes’ uses dashes, talks about how Trump falls behind and gets back up again in each paragraph in order to illustrate what pattern could help Trump win the presidency over Clinton, and uses syntax. Barnes begins his writing by acknowledging that when Trump is in the spotlight of the media, he falls behind in the polls and it’s when he stays in the background that he pulls through it.…
Hal Abelson, Ken Ledeen, and Harry Lewis use their fourth chapter of their book Blown to Bits to discuss search engines. They describe how search engines work, and the possible problems that they could have. As was the case with the third chapter of Blown to Bits, I enjoyed reading this chapter. I felt that this chapter was not written to condemn technology, but rather to inform people about something that has become a vital element of human society. I was intrigued by the authors’ discussion of all of their topics.…
In my fourth picture, people were watching a certain foreign film, and some of those people may have been federal employees, subject to intense scrutiny from the FBI. Around 14,000 employees were subject to serious investigation. In anger, over 2000 employees quit their jobs during the loyalty hearings. Many of these hearings were conducted in the Library of Congress and Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. At these hearings, over 200 employees were fired for questionable loyalty, although there was no true evidence that pointed to the lack of loyalty.…
the permanent campaign has been used for decades as a part of the American politics. Permanent campaign is when elected officials after getting elected use methods like the ones they used before getting elected such as hosting rallies, media campaign, and raising money. Therefore, the indicators and the characteristics of the president’s Permanent campaign are, traveling around, discussing initiatives and issues he plans to fix, holding rallies, and registering for reelection very early. The increased attentiveness to the public during the permanent campaign is not good for the American democracy.…
The cartoon I am analyzing is wildcard #1 of Constitutional Underpinnings. This cartoon symbolizes how our federal government is set up. In football, linebackers of opposing teams always tackle each other. This represents clashing of the Congress and the executive branch. Not only that, but in football games, sometimes one side overpowers the other.…
In the article published January 6, 2016 in the American Thinker titled “Obamas Gun Control Lies”, Michael Filozof is attempting to demonstrate that Obama is violating the Fifth Amendment of the Bill of rights by trying to introduce new and stricter laws in regards to gun control. He attempts to show the “lies” behind Obamas proposal and compares him to that of other dictators in history. The first paragraph of the article Filozof makes use of name calling and euphemisms, which speak more to his own bias opinions than to actual facts. He uses the euphemism “wept crocodile tears” to insinuate that Obama’s tears were more a show of insincere sorrow used only to gain the support the ignorant, clueless, and stupid.…
The creation of the Department of Homeland Security and establishment of the US Patriot Act was a result of the understanding that in order to have freedom, certain aspects of daily life would have to change. One aspect of change has been law enforcement’s move towards militarization, evolving from basic military like organizational structure to changes in uniform colors, equipment and vehicles. Citizens see this evolution as a “police vs citizens” stance rather than community oriented policing. The other and more clandestine policing problem has been the National Security Agency (NSA) and its domestic surveillance. While domestic surveillance is said to provide valuable evidence to prevent terrorism, it has resulted in whistleblowers like Edward Snowden leaking classified information exposing the extent of the surveillance and the infringement on personal privacy.…
Recently Trump has stated he would not be releasing his tax returns to the public and has added to the speculation of Russian leader's, Vladimir Putin, was involved with several American political events such as the election. Many speculate that the reason for Trump not releasing this returns is because he doesn't want to have people see he has been financially involved with Russia. In fact, it was discovered Putin influenced a campaign for the election hacks. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2017/2/19/1634299/-No-Trump-tax-returns-No-GOP-tax-cuts) (http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/319615-murphy-trump-tax-returns-may-shed-light-on-his-russia-position) The artist is trying to convince the reader that Trump is hiding his tax returns for this…
The Answer is Donald Trump With presidential election year just around the corner in 2016 there are many discussions on who is running, who would make either a good president or be a bad choice for being president. Which means that it's the time of year for a lot of political advertising such as commercials, articles, and cartoons. In the this cartoon there is a figure of a large man that can be easily identified as Donald Trump in a suit who is running for president. His face expression isn’t very welcoming or friendly looking.…
In reference to the political picture, I feel the author is trying to convey the point that Donald Trump needs to humble himself (hence humble pie). As we all may already know, Donald Trump in known for his egotistic remarks and just in all being very cocky and boastful about everything that he does. I feel like in life, when you let your ego get in the way for the wrong reasons, let’s say for your own personal satisfaction, personal gain, nine times out of ten you’re going to need to take a back seat before you get yourself into destruction. Therefore, with Donald eating this “humble pie” is very much needed before his race comes unto an abruptly…
In the realm of world politics, there are many individuals that could receive the title of most influential, but the new president- elect of the United States (US), Donald J. Trump is currently under the spotlight of the political world. Donald Trump, just over a year ago, was a billionaire business man that had never been involved in politics, now he is the future president-of the United States of America, this in turn allotting him the title of most influential person in world politics today. From a billionaire real-estate developer, to TV host, and a best selling author Donald Trump has held many different positions in society, but he had never held and elected position in office or been submerged into foreign policy. Coming in as an outsider and entering the political stage, in what can be deemed as the highest position in US government, Trump approaches his job thinking in terms of realism and focusing on security, connections, and power, currently making him the most influential person in world politics. Donald J Trump, until recently, was widely known for his skills as a business man and entrepreneur.…

Because of the sensitive nature of terrorist attacks, all suspicions must be addressed. The USA Patriot can bypass the Fourth Amendment as a law enforcer can voice their suspicions on an individual or corporation based on assumptions (Evans, J., 2002). According to O’Meara, a research director by the name of Dave Kopel, mentioned that The USA Patriot Act even allows individuals to be put in powerless positions despite their nonexistent involvement in terroristic activities. In this position, these…
Many people don’t realize many of the standards of today’s world were established over a century or two ago. I was learning myself how over a century ago some issues, that’s taken place currently were predicted almost two centuries ago. I know hard to believe! My hopes are by the end of this read it will be very believable as I take you back in history, the 1700. Currently, the trending topic across the world is Americas new president, Donald Trump, I think it is only but right to use the first president of America considering the times we are living today (George Washington) to make my point.…
Kelsey, I find this article, and opinions on what the economy will do during Trump's presidency interesting. It is good to read that there is a positive outlook on the effect of Trump's presidency on the economy, for some anyway. It caught my eye that in Manhattan, some have a very negative outlook and think that Trump will take our economy "over a cliff." Which leaves investors with the idea to dump their stocks and retreat to government bonds. Such differing outlooks interest me.…
