Meet Brian Thomas Mettenbrink, an unsuspecting 20-year-old computer geek from Nebraska. He looks just like you and me, acts just like you and me, but yet there is a defining difference about him that separates us: he will be serving a year sentencing in a federal prison for his relation to the 2008 DDoS (distributed denial-of-service) attack on the Church of Scientology’s website called Project Chanology.

Communism is the goal”…

It is widely thought that popular people, celebrities or those with special needs receive preferential treatment. Whitey Bulger is an exception to these groups.

centralized system. Unfortunately this problem is both a strength and a weakness at the same time. “America 's diverse election systems across its cities, counties and states bring both pros and cons. The biggest pro is that there isn 't one giant national system that could be hacked at once (unlike, for example, Estonia’s centralized system). The con is that there may be less-secure systems that could be individually attacked.” (CNBC, 2016) The system is extremely vulnerable due to the age…

Growing up in a single parent household, in inner city Detroit, as a black boy in the fifties through the sixties, you could describe Ben Carson’s childhood as a challenge. His mother, one of 24 children, only had a third grade education. With all of this combined, as a young child, Ben had a horrible temper, low self esteem, and was an atrocious student. How could he care about getting good grades, when he was surrounded by people who had never and did not aspire to achieve in school? However,…
