Bush v. Gore

The title of this article “Joe Biden's grief, authenticity” I immediately found offensive so I thought it warranted further investigation. In reality the article itself was not offensive but it elicited further questions as to why use such a title and is the information significant concerning the upcoming presidential election. Undoubtedly, Joe Biden has had to process a great deal of grief with the loss of wife, daughter and now son. It can be stated that many Americans have an interest in how…

George W. Bush was the 43rd president of the United States who took an oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution”, but some may say that he failed to do so. Eight months into Bush’s first term as president, the September, 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks occurred - leading to Bush’s “war on terrorism”. This led to the cruel interrogations of terrorists, the removal of rights to trials and court reviewed cases, and the unreasonable and illegal surveillance of American citizens. These…

Earlier today GOP Benghazi Committee Chair (and GOP congressional anti-Hillary) operative, Trey Gowdy, joined the crew of Morning Joe for a bit of "foot-in-mouth" clean-up. "Foot-in-Mouth?" Yes, Kevin McCarthy's frank and uncensored remarks about GOP strategy against Democrat Party presidential Hillary Clinton. https://youtu.be/6jIJ0g8EPs0 As you can image Scarborough and Gowdy's mission was another version of facilitation commonly deployed via Fox News. In fact, McCarthy has also appeared…

Leading America: Trump vs. Sanders Two years ago the mainstream media introduced the world to a billionaire businessman, and a career politician, with vastly different leadership styles that both declared to run for America’s top role as the next U.S. President. Though these men had somewhat different campaign messages and different ideas of how they would carry them out, both had novelty approaches that had never been seen before in U.S. Politics. President, Donald Trump, and the U.S. Senator…

water to induce confessions as a “normal incident of law” (Weiner, 2007). President George W. Bush first approved the use of waterboarding against alleged September 11th terrorist attacks plotter Khalid Sheik Mohammed in 2003. President Bush has stated many times that he personally approved the use of this technique in an effort to prevent further loss of life from possible future terrorist attacks (Bush, 2010). Since its first documented use, waterboarding has proven to be an effective,…

On October 16, Mi-Ai Parrish, journalist and reporter of The Arizona Republic, responded to several threats from the public because they endorsed a Democrat for president instead of a Republican. She thought about those disturbing responses and how to answer the critics, questioning what would be the correct response to those vile threats. Parrish’s appeal to both logos and pathos along with her choice of diction allows her to successfully build a counterargument and make her response an…

There is a sandwich quotation in my source “Why Edward Snowden Is a Hero.” In the introduction of the sandwich, the author John Cassidy describes about the targeting countries of NSA’s surveillance program. He presents that the spying programs are not only collecting data from countries like Iran and Pakistan, but also from many allied countries. Cassidy then transits from introducing the surprising fact to the source material when uses his source to back up this fact. He directly quotes words…

My copies of the Houston Chronicle and USA Today were both dated Thursday September 11th. Both papers chose to write about the speech President Obama gave about ISIL on the evening of Wednesday September 10th for their main story. In their featured article, the papers talk about what the President said and what he plans to do to fight ISIL terrorism. This is a topic that should interest every American, especially on the anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. With the yearly…
