Oval Office

The corruption that grew within the Nixon Administration blinded the Oval Office of its legal and ethical obligations in upholding the Constitution of America. As a result, due to the overwhelming amount of evidence incriminating President Nixon of his involvement in the Watergate burglary, President Richard Nixon was forced, and became the first and only president in the history of the Unites States of America, to resign his post.

However, there are two sides to every coin, so we must look towards a time whereby his bluntness in language has result in deep division. While in a recent discussion in the Oval Office on immigration, Trump reportedly asked why the US has so many people from “sh*thole countries”, or those he deems of low quality. Needless to say, this sparked controversy with some defending the words and others deeming…

who felt that Clinton represented the past, the politics of triangulation, and the character of a chameleon -- someone who would say whatever to achieve her poorly masked goal of sitting in the Oval Office as President of the United States. The DNC shared this goal of seeing Mrs. Clinton in the Oval Office, which is now evident from the Wikileaks documents. This is not an indictment on the party because this was exactly the case in 2008 when she first ran and I will not join the cacophonous…

The human aspect of an American election cannot be…

The tapes revealed the attempted cover-ups for the Watergate scandal. There were even tapes that were intentionally…
