Discrimination is not inherited; it is taught. Ever since African slaves were brought over to the New World, they were seen as inferior; as a result, African Americans were discriminated against. This discriminatory pattern continued, eventually leading to the Civil Rights Movement. Many believed action was necessary in order to ensure the equal treatment and opportunity of African Americans and those of other minority groups, so legislation was enacted. However, by doing so, reverse…

Trump is everywhere. By simply tuning into the evening news, it is hard to miss all of the coverage surrounding Donald Trump’s presidential campaign. The media is filled with stories of the crazy thing he just said, who he attacked in the latest debate, or even the satires of him all over TV and the internet. However, the media rarely shows why Trump could be an outstanding president. Although he may not be a conventional candidate and lacks a strong backing from the GOP, Trump rivals any of…

The 2016-2017 presidential election is known as one of the most iconic elections in modern history. In the beginning of the election there were 17 candidates in the republican party and 8 in the Democratic party, and all candidates but two dropped out. The last candidates remaining were Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump, and the election named after them was called “Crooked vs. Crazy”. This election, to most Americans, did not have the most honorable candidates to vote for, but it was a matter of…

Reading these three verses is like reading something from a Donald Trump biography. Verse 23 mentions that “a king will arise, insolent and skilled in intrigue”. If I were to announce Trump at an awards banquet, I could do worse than use that description as an introduction. He’d own up to every word. I address earlier how Donald, a name that means King of the World, knew he was born to be King. Keep in mind that the use of the word King here simply means, ruler of a nation. At what part of his…

What makes a great leader? Is it the access to money, being raised in a wealthy household, being able to access certain achievements or just having access to the things you want?

There is no such thing as…

Everyone is fully aware of the Trump phenomenon where criticism had no effect on his popularity. In fact, most every time he acted indecent and/or immoral, his poll numbers went up during the primaries. We’ve never seen anything like this in our nation. Even with this advantage, he still never would have gotten where he was if some other critical factors weren’t in play. Trump stood out against the whole slew of his other GOP rivals. Most were indeed decent conservative candidates with…

Of all of the presidential candidates running for president, Ted Cruz has the plan that will save America. America is in a state of turmoil with economic downturn and job loss to illegal immigrants, a broken tax system, and the threat of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Barack Obama promised change in 2008, but no economic recovery has been evident, jobs have been continuously lost, and he has dismissed the threat of ISIS and saying that the U.S. “is making significant progress defeating them” (Riley 1)…
