problem, while simultaneously creating, or in some cases reinforcing, racist beliefs. I would like to show that a good example of Dog Whistle Politics, is Jack Martins’ public campaign mailer he sent out in previous 2017. Jack Miller was running for Nassau County Executive early November 2017. He ended up losing to Laura Curran, and this phenomenal example of Dog Whistle Politics is probably why. He sent out a public campaign mailer that immediately catches your attention. In the center of the…

Every November, more than 100 million people in the United States pull the lever in a voting booth and walk away with a sense of civic pride and fulfillment, not realizing in the slightest that they have been robbed of their most fundamental democratic right –– the right to pick their leaders. This unfortunate phenomenon is inhibiting and uprooting every fiber of our democratic society and the tenets upon which it is built. It goes against everything that more than 600,000 servicemen and women…

local marine ecosystems, and according to tests done by Suffolk County Water Authority and other organizations, show the concentration levels in the groundwater are continuing to rise, and could pose more serious problems to us in the coming decades. As more agricultural products are produced to meet demands, and more development and modern processes take place, so will contamination and its risks.

There are five principles of democracy we use in our government today. They are very useful and keep our government going. The five principles are popular sovereignty, rule of law, separation of powers, checks and balances, and federalism. They are all important, but some of them I feel are slightly more notable than the others, or more valued. Popular sovereignty is where the power lies with the people. Basically this means that the people choose who is our representative. An example of…

Feld Entertainment spokesman Stephen Payne said Suzy, a 6-year-old Bengal tiger that had once performed in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, somehow got loose when the truck hauling 14 big cats stopped south of Atlanta on its way from Florida to Tennessee. "We stopped in Georgia to feed…

New Years Photoshoot at the Long Island Home Inspection Pros I was recently contracted by the management of Long Island Home Inspection Pros to carry out a New Years Photoshoot.

a lot of tough wins, some I was the underdog, some were comebacks and some were just tough. Going into our home tournament I was not projected to be in the finals, I changed people’s minds in my semifinal match when I beat a kid ranked 3rd in Nassau county. After that it was on to the finals, my match in the finals is one match I will never forget I wrestled for 16 minutes back and forth when a traditional match is only supposed to be six minutes. It was a battle! Triple overtime I was exhausted…
