...lies in the hands of Republican President Elect Donald Trump and the Republican majority Congress. Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign made one thing very clear, that he will protect the citizens Second Amendment right to bear arms (Sanchez, “This is where Donald Trump stands”). Donald Trump is, “One of the most vocal pro-gun presidential candidates to ever enter the white house” (Fernandez and Smith A.12.). Trump will begin his changes on January 20, 2017, which is Inauguration Day and is when he will become the President of the United States. He wants to fix the current gun laws so that they will no longer infringe on the second amendment rights of the citizens (Sanchez, “This is where Donald Trump stands”). Trump opposes the assault weapons and high capacity clip ban in the United States and wants to lift the bans because he believes them to be a failure (Sanchez, “This is where Donald Trump...

...You know a candidate in the presidential election has the potential to become the nominee when Donald Trump starts targeting. After his successful performance during the Republican debate, Senator Marco Rubio is that new target. In a new interview with Bloomberg, Trump said that “(Rubio) is the one that sweats the most. He’s the youngest but I have never seen any human being sweat like that.” Smack talk from Trump is a sign that someone is giving him a run for his money in the polls, and that someone after the latest debate is Rubio — and for good reason. Rubio showed that he is presidential material by standing up to older, more seasoned politicians, including his onetime mentor, Jeb Bush. While many question if he has enough experience...

..."If Donald Trump is 'not your president' then you are not American," said Scottsburg Senior Jake Murphy. Murphy went to Donald Trump's inauguration Friday Jan. 20th, 2017 along with 9 other students from around the state. Murphy stated, "Donald Trump is going to be the single most greatest king America has ever had. I believe as long as we are Americans follow him blindly, without any opposition of his authority, anything can be accomplished." Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, has many ideas of what he wants to do to America. Many of those people don't enjoy. “I think he is very disrespectful, especially to women and people with disabilities. I also don’t like a lot of his views. He has no filter and he...

...Donald J. Trump has made a lot of promises during his campaign to become the next President of the United States. If elected, however, many of Mr. Trump’s proposals would be moderated by Congress before being passed. This is not the case with promises Mr. Trump has made regarding international trade policy, however. Although Congress has the power to “regulate Commerce with foreign Nations”, they have actually delegated much of the power to do so to the president. In this regard, Mr. Trump has made several threats including, but not limited to: raising tariffs on imported goods from China and Mexico, ripping up the North American Free Trade Agreement, and withdrawing from the World Trade Organization. Although Congressional approval is...

...Nickolas Galaviz Ms. Medina INRW 0376 M09 8 November 2015 Why Donald Trump Should Be President? Donald Trump should be president because of his political experience. Trump is a tough dealmaker and unafraid to have an honest debate even though some may not agree. Trump becoming president will be the best solution for America’s future. Donald is first and foremost an experienced businessman that established a multi-billion dollar real estate empire all by himself. He’s known as an American hustler who built all of his fortunes from the ground up. His business experience has helped him be involved with negotiations behind scenes with political candidates. Therefore, giving him key insights in different parts of the world, pursue trade agreements, and is aware of financial global competitors. Undeniably being a great negotiator, he has had experience with a variety of industries, businesses, and investors. All his life he has been dedicated to business industry, so he will manage the budget fairly well. With this being said, as president, there is a large portion of negotiating in favor of the U.S. and by applying his skills would be very helpful to this country. Trump has the confidence and personality that will work perfectly in politics, and make it less likely to let his personal power be manipulated by outsiders. Donald has experience creating jobs, which make him more aware of the problems that occur in the workforce. His views on immigration are what America needs...

...atmosphere. Modern human activities have increased the release of non-naturally occurring greenhouse gases because we have boost our demand of burning more fossil fuel. The following design cycle explains my point of view [Working families] on climate change. Criterion A Need for Solution/Target Audience Need for solution Ten out of the last thirteen years were the warmest on record. It is also estimated to have gotten one point two to one point four in the last century. 97% of climate scientists agree that climate change is not caused by naturally occurring activities but more likely to be caused by human activities. Today, many people are not informed that climate change is a real and serious issue we’re facing [For example President Trump]. It is only a matter of time to think for a solution to explain the threat of climate change. Target Audience: In the dilemma for this project, it will be presented to the students of Summit International Preparatory, in Scott Michael Delcambre classroom. The body of students consist of different genders, ethnicities, and age groups, but the message of this project is for everyone.

...Many things have been written and said in the media, both pro and con, about perhaps the most polarizing individual in America today. Opinions and emotions are very strong concerning the current President, and even some well known mental health professionals as recently as last Tuesday held a panel discussion in Washington D.C. titled “The Increasingly Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” [1]. It was claimed that the President’s “mental instability” was supported by now well-known examples of exaggeration, lying, and personal vanity. Although many politicians and public figures are controversial because of these behaviors, I thought it would be interesting to examine and explain Donald Trump’s personality using two different perspectives: Freud’s...

Recently, many NFL players have been kneeling, linking arms, or staying in the locker rooms during the national anthem. These athletes are being both praised and criticized for their actions. Both of these article are unbiased, had similar information, and written by credible people, so I believe that the authors can be trusted. I liked that both...

...For instance it is the best compromise between having congress select a President, and an election by popular vote. (“What is the Electoral College?”) So rather than simply having our elected Congressmen vote, every eligible American has the opportunity to vote; however, the votes are funneled down to the Electors, but this protects from uneducated voters and those who vote randomly. The Electoral College also ensures that we have a definitive answer as to who won the Presidential election. ("The Electoral College: Top 3 Pros and Cons.”) That is one of the issues with an election by popular vote, every single vote counts, and because every vote counts one would have to ensure that every vote is accounted for. Rather than the federal government being in charge of the nation’s 300 million plus votes through the Electoral College each state is responsible for its vote’s and the government is only responsible for 538 votes. This makes for a quicker process with much less error. In conclusion the electoral college, flaws and all, is still the best system for what America needs. It allows all eligible citizens to vote, is efficient, and protects from uneducated votes. Which is why the founding fathers chose it as the best choice and compromise for electing a...

...of our news cycle, not distinct from or extraneous to it but a part of it, embedded within the news apparatus as a spoke is embedded in a bicycle wheel.”(16 Fake News Stories Reporters Have Run Since Trump Won) All the fake news stories and their nature as a method of attacking the president show the misinformation being spread by media sources due to bias and haste to produce a story. In an article on media malpractice for Investors.com, Tom Westervelts claims, “...throughout the campaign, the Huffington Post published the following editor's note at the end of stories about Mr. Trump, ‘Editor's note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.’”(Media Bias and the 2016 Election) This editor’s note by Huffington Post in every single story printed about trump during the election cycle is a clear attempt to misinform readers, it would be understandable in stories specifically about something that could be interpreted as xenophobic, or misogynist, but to add that to the end of every single story about the man clearly shows that the Huffington Post was attempting to turn readers against Trump with misinformation. In an article published for the Washington Times not long after the 2016 election, Jennifer Harper says, “Inaccuracies, melodrama, bias, outrage: Journalists showcased plenty during...

...Pro removal of the second amendment The removal of the second amendment is a very controversial topic because most people can’t seem to agree on what laws should be put into place for firearms. Like you see here, we have pro and con on this matter but some things are arguable when it comes to this topic. For example, quite a few pro-gun activists believe that everyone should own a gun… including people with mental illnesses. Yes, everyone has a right to protect themselves but does everyone really need to have a gun? No, not everyone needs to own a firearm because that is how accidents happen. Last year during Obama’s tenure, he set a rule saying that people with mental illnesses, from anxiety to schizophrenia, could not purchase firearms....

Although workers may have their own common idea, a leader of a large company may try to spark up his/her own employees in a positive way; to make them think differently. One important gadfly in our society today could even be a runner in our presidential election, Donald Trump. Although he may be hated for his strange ideas or his personality including his likes and dislikes, he can make people think in a different perspective. Some of his ideas may not be the best, but a few of them may lead people toward the right actions. If all these different people have a potential to be gadflies, then I can have the right to call myself one....

...Currently, my favorite candidates are Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio. Each of these candidates is preferred by a different broadcasting network; Carson being NBC, Trump being ABC, Fiorina being CNN, Cruz being FOX News, and Rubio being NBC. Each candidate has their pros and cons. These come into effect during debates, and more importantly, the final election. I will start with my favorite, Ben Carson. There is a tremendously reliable level of enthusiasm from grassroots conservatives for Dr. Ben Carson, the sort that Mitt Romney would have loved to buy in 2012. He's notable and lends credibility to the healthcare debate. He is additionally one who failed to position himself for a run, and the likelihood has organically evolved. He additionally has no drawback connecting with devout voters, a tremendous obstacle of the GOP candidates in each 2008 and 2012. He has never run a political crusade...
