Sitcoms are extremely comedy based which is very different than the western actions that…

The Truth About The Truth About Hillary The book The Truth About Hillary by Edward Klein, seems like a book that would be a great source for political research. At first, it seems to be an exclusive look into the scandalous life of Mrs. Hillary Clinton; however, much controversy has risen over the credentials and solid evidence this book contains. Since the book’s publishing by The Penguin Group Company in 2005, a lot of evidence has surfaced making Klien’s “facts”, questionable. I believe this…

On August 17, 1998 President Bill Clinton delivered a speech to the American public addressing an inappropriate relationship with a former White House Intern, Monica Lewinsky. In comparison to Robert M. Eisingers “The Political Non-Apology” Clinton 's public apology has some of the characteristics of a full apology but, is predominantly a non-apology. Although, acknowledges the offense committed, he minimizes his offense throughout the speech and plays the victim card in attempts to…

The year 2016 is one of the worst and stupidest years in American history, but at least frail, sickly, and old Hillary’s recent collapse helped restore America’s faith in the power of love. The moment Bill heard that she was sick he rushed to his woman’s bedside. And then, as soon as he was finished, he picked up the phone and called Chelsea’s apartment to see how Hillary was doing. Where was Bill in all this anyway? Even if some media hack had suffered an unexpected bout of Sudden Onset…

Santa Monica’s politics are largely progressive and they translate to the types of people (such as artists) and businesses who call the city home. One resident says Santa Monica is what happens when “hippies get rich”. Thus, there are many upsides to living and working in this community.

In addition, the city’s economy is strong,…

All everyone thought was. “poor Hillary Clinton” or “I can't believe that Bill would cheat on her with That Woman”. No one actually knew Lewinsky's story, because no one dared to hear it, because as far as they knew, it was all her fault. In June of 2014, Monica Lewinsky posted an article called Shame and Survival. It told her story about everything…

I am one of them. Santa Monica College was my first stop after high-school, almost 20 years ago. Growing up it seemed that I was always marginalized.

This difference, for an immigrant, is a hard pill to swallow. My high school…
