For some, Donald Trump's birtherism claim was no laughing matter in the past, but Barack Obama is apparently getting the last laugh, according to a new report. http://verifiedpolitics.com/obama-just-made-hilarious-joke-trumps-expense-chicago/ Former President Barack Obama hosted the first day of the Obama Foundation Summit on Tuesday. The event spans over two days. And, as he often did in the past to break the ice with large crowds, Obama turned to humor -- at President Donald Trump's…

I get after the Republican's because they present themselves as a holier than thou party. In reality they create a lot of problems. When it is election time, they campaign to fix the problems they created. One of their big screaming, hollering, a shame on the democrats and big government is, “Democrats are inflating the national economy. I assure you, that the Democrats are no angel's when it comes to adding on to the national debt either. But in my estimation, the Republicans are just as bad,…

After 9/11, security and surveillance have taken a huge turn with the advance in technology. In response to this terrorist attack, President Obama wrote a letter to the Congress of the United States, authorizing for the use of military force (AUMF) against Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). President Obama viewed these targeted killings as an act of war, but the issue is whether this act of war can be justified. Establishing whether the threat posed actual imminent threat, will…

On September 11th, 2001, America suffered the most fatal and destructive attack we have ever seen. President Bush immediately sought to bring justice to those lives we lost and those lives who have been ruined ever since. No Easy Day: The Firsthand Account of the Mission That Killed Osama Bin Laden by Mark Owen is the autobiography of a Navy Seal who risked his life for his country and the interests of the citizens of the United States. President Harry Truman said “Our debt to the heroic men…

George W. Bush became president in the US January 2001; Bush first foreign policy in the Middle East was how to contain the Saddam regime in regards to weapon of mass destruction. The Bush administration and UN work together to put sanctions on Iraq and keep the regime on check. However, the Bush government claimed the UN sanction on Iraq was weak and ineffective therefore, the Secretary of State Colin Powell initiated a new proposal known as “ smart sanctions” as economic sanction that will…

Bush received a resounding applause when he utter those words at thee recent GOP Debate. What does a desperate candidate do when he stumbles upon a possible "catch em" leverage for high end bay boomers. He repeats his he false prophecy. https://youtu.be/ALMzMslx4SE (9/22/2015) Of course, you recall Jeb Bush's comments to Fox News's Megyn Kelly that he would (based on what we know now) follow his brothers disastrous charge into Iraq. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?" If you have any…

Yeah, I know I could have just called or even invited you over to dinner, but I figure writing a letter would not give you time to say no, or more probably, spit profanity back at me immediately. Didn’t anyone tell you that you sailors swear too much? I wasn’t in the USMC long enough to pick up that habit. Anyway, ever since our years teaching at the Naval Academy back at Annapolis, you have been quite obviously my best friend; you do not need me to tell you that. For that reason and a few…

After the event of 9/11 it catalyzed a nation wide awareness of national security. In the face of this devastation, a conversation began regarding the national security at the expense of privacy. As the years progressed this world of data mining and collection began to grow and extend beyond itself. With the fear of terrorism engrained into political topic, the encroachment of privacy became a concern for an average American. This world of interconnected compilation of information became a vast…

Ali Tahabrown Mr. Seehafer Humanities II: American Studies 13 April 2016 America's Responsibility Winston Churchill once said, "Where there is great power, there is great responsibility." By enforcing the regime change that brought down Saddam Hussein, America saves 60,000 lives every year (Alexander). By invading Iraq, America has helped facilitate the Iraq economy's nominal GDP growth by 317% (World). By acting forcefully in the world, America has spread democracy to over 4…

In the “Fighting for Our Lives” article, I found the statement about the “boy who cried wolf” effect in our societal dialogue interesting. The author wrote that heated, warlike argument is so common that we are losing the ability to differentiate between debates over extremely important issues and over unimportant, and unnecessarily sensationalized issues. This reminded me of an article I read about the effects of sensationalization in news media. For example, CNN presents the news relatively…
