Throughout all the many president the United States has received to represent their country as the Commander in chief and have the power over wars we get involved in and also nuclear bombs, there are only a certain amount of presidents that i can actually say were the best. Barack Obama , John F Kennedy, Franklin D Roosevelt and Bill Clinton. I feel as if these are the best 4 presidents that the united states has had because they all played a huge role in helping the black community and also…

Eric Dodd Mr. Bates English12 24 March 2017 Labor Unions: Trump vs. Hillary With all the excitement of the 2016 presidential election, it raises suspicion of who has more control. A major part of the election is who has the most vote coming from the labor unions. Considering how many labor unions there are in the U.S. alone. Whoever can get the majority of the labor union votes will have the upper hand. Tump is not very liked by labor union bosses. Most of the labor unions…

The example of persuasion that I found interesting occurred on May 16, 2017. When National Security Advisor H. R McMaster at a press conference regarding President Trump sharing highly classified information with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislayak during a White House meeting. The information that was disclosed could endanger intelligence sources involving strategies against Islamic State of Iran and Syria (ISIS) A former intelligence…

Before reading the articles I think the issue media bias will be a controversial topic. The articles appear to be op-ed pieces and their commentary will be directed towards the republican nominee political candidate Donald Trump. The first piece: The Mystery of Trump, Partially Explained, by Paul Berman gives the reader an idea of the current state of journalism. Paul Berman begins with a series of rhetorical questions, wondering how they failed to see this campaign coming and how America could…

Donald Trump ran a campaign on “shaking” up American politics and changing the status quo. Trump’s rise to success and eventual presidency was a byproduct of his tumultuous relationship with the news media to which he often described as “fake news”. Public perception was a key component to the presidential election which included many headlines. President Trump has continued his attack on the media and its perceived “authenticity” which he continues to call into question. In today’s day and age…

In my opinion, the best commercial of Super Bowl Fifty was the NFL’s Super Bowl Babies commercial. This commercial caught my attention because of the message behind the advertisement. The message that “Football is Family,” resonates with the viewers because it shows that the National Football League cares about more than just the business side of their corporation. Super Bowl Babies commercial showed that the NFL has a set of morals behind their business that are family friendly and a good…

In my opinion, I believe that when it comes to the 2000 presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore, Gore was the true champion. First of all, Gore flourished until the state of Florida came into play and the votes proved to be too close to call. If the votes were counted this way, a clear winner would emerge, despite the fact that Gore and Bush's numbers would be close. Since the votes from Florida had the ability to carry the election, the numbers would have still been close…

Chapter Nine. Torture in New Hampshire. John McCain vs Barack Obama. That is what Charles Pierce talks all about in this chapter. To my surprise, Charles is for the most part in between the then presidential candidates at the time. Charles also has a go with Sarah Palin. “While Obama merely bowed clumsily in the direction of Idiotic America, John McCain set up housekeeping there. Desperate to dissociate himself from the previous administration, which had spent seven years crafting policies that…

By now we have all seen the once uncontested candidate for the 2016 Democratic nomination (ahem, Hillary Clinton) begin to face unexpectedly stiff competition from Bernie Sanders. From her slipping popularity suggested by her slim two million dollar fundraising advantage over with Sanders, to the surrounding controversy regarding her personal email server, clearly the S.S. Hillary Campaign has seen better days. While many Democratic leaders remain firmly loyal to Clinton, the baggage that…

Our country formed their first political parties: Federalists and Democratic-Republicans. Although different, they both had beliefs, leaders, and supporters. Both parties of our founding fathers had many beliefs. To begin with, the Federalists supported the British and believed in a loose construction of the Constitution. They also supported having a national bank which would allow us to use paper money. Secondly, the Democratic-Republicans supported the French and believed in a strict…
