Being addressed for over the last decade, many Democrats believe there is no media bias, yet Republicans do believe of a media bias. Yes, media bias is prevalent and a problem. Media outlets hold a bias for the democratic party, why else would democrats not believe in a bias? The media uses their powers to influence the elections with a democratic controlled media, a conservative belief of bias and little objectivity. Our country is provided with false information and bias in the news.…

Ted Cruz is back at it again making headlines again. Everyone believed that John Kasich would collaborate to bring down Mr. Trump. Be that as it may, to everybody's surprised Cruz formally named Carly Fiorina as his vice presidential running mate Wednesday a last-ditch move to regain momentum after being mathematically eliminated from winning the GOP presidential nomination outright. Fiorina joined the Texas senator on stage, and Cruz's staff changed the podium in between Cruz and Fiorina's…

Although this is a topic that has been lectured throughout my American education, it continues to be relevant being that it is implemented into our government infrastructure. As most of us know, checks and balances are, in a sense, a form of protection- protection from the government, that is. It…

The first example is Barack Obama. First off, under this very liberal president, the United States economy has been at the worst it has been since the end of the Great Depression. In fact, since he took over in 2008, the number of people living off government money has grown a monstrous amount as he continues to add trillions of dollars on to the United States’ already enormous debt. It is not just his fault, for the congress may have had a chance to fix his mistakes…
