Turning on the television, and kicking back to relax, the ultimate relief after an agonizing day at work. As the screen fades into vivacious colors the first thing appearing on the screen is a scarlet headline that reads, “Trump Supporters, Protesters Clash after Chicago Rally Postponed.” Hurriedly, the channel is changed because it has all been seen before, too many times. Flipping hastily through news channels all to be seen are the names Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, Ted Cruz, Hillary Clinton…

“Make America great again,” the slogan that was the cornerstone of President Donald J. Trump’s campaign. This quote, seemingly favorable, uncovers a deeper meaning-one of division. It implies that the America we have come to know is no longer the way it should be, and once was. This notion of a deviation from our roots frightens many who are against change. The slogan resonates with individuals dissatisfied with their current situations and seek better economic opportunities. It creates a…

It is 2017 and Donald Trump is the President of America. He is the President of America despite his non-political background, despite his controversies, despite his threats and empty promises that stood side-by-side. There are videos of Donald Trump speaking crudely and poorly of minorities and he is the President of a country full to its’ brim of minorities. It is 2017 and in this years’ Academy Awards, a room full of celebrities and fans laughed as late night talk-show host, Jimmy Kimmel…

Scandal, a word that automatically has a negative connotation attached and makes you think of betrayal, and dishonesty. So why would we want characteristics such as betrayal and honesty affiliated with things you should trust the most? The answer is we don’t. Nevertheless, in many cases that has not been the case for some of our major news outlets. Like many readers if not all, we expect accuracy, facts, and clarity when reading a newspaper or listening to our favorite news outlet, whether it is…

Fred Phelps and six of his relatives belonging to the Westboro Baptist Church traveled to Maryland to specifically picket Marine Lance Corporals funeral services to communicate their beliefs that God hates the United States in reference to the military, the Catholic Church, and homosexuality. The church group picketed 30 minutes before the funeral within 1000 feet of the funeral service on public lands in compliance with local authorities [1]. In Snyder v. Phelps, 09-751 S. Ct. 1 (2011), the…

At one point or another in anyone’s childhood, they have been reprimanded for some violent action and lectured on how violence is never the answer. Despite all the violence and aggression present in today’s society, this ideology still rings true. It has been proven time and time again that a nonviolent act can gain just as much attention and success as an act of violence. One well known instance of this was Henry David Thoreau 's stance against the Mexican-American War which inspired his essay…

In Chapter 7 we are introduced to Sam, Charles’ servant. We are also introduced to Mary, a maid of Aunt Tranter, and they meet when Ernestina was feeling unwell, so Charles decided to go exploring and tells Sam to deliver some flowers. A romance is hinted to start blooming between the two. I like the idea of the two together, besides it would keep Ernestina from thinking Mary stealing Charles from her and also limit the jealousy. But if Ernestina and Charles did not go through with their…

“Do you want to start out?” asks Fred Hiatt, an editor at the Washington Post. “No,” Trump replies, and then starts out. He reminds Hiatt that he’s been “treated very, very badly by the Washington Post,” but quickly moves on to talk about an upcoming press conference, or rather, the building that the conference would be held in. It’s owned by him, and after telling Hiatt about the high quality of marble that will be used once it’s finished, Trump concludes, “I know how to build. I know how to…
