Pay Up CNN, or You'll Get Trumped; $5 Million or No Donald CNN has not been kind to Donald Trump. He expects that from a liberal news station, but he also does not want to let them off scot free. In fact, Trump is now demanding that CNN pay $5 million, which will be donated to 'Wounded Warriors of the vets', or he will not participate in the next presidential debate (which is hosted by CNN). Not only does Trump believe that the network should pay him for being unkind to him in the press,…
Cody Hayes-Tyler English 1301 Mr. Hale 11/18/16 Donald Trump When friends of mine who are trump supporters inform me that they support him, I understand the reasons they picture him as our future president of the united states. Donald Trump has never been an elected official. He has never held elected office of any kind. He’s never had to broker political compromise, give political speeches or pour over political briefing notes. So why on earth, with no experience in politics, would people…
Many people believe one needs to be selfish in order survive the obstacles life gives. However, a closer look into people’s decisions shows that not all acts of survival are selfish. Survival does not require selfishness because it is not selfish to protect oneself and at times it can mean making a life or death decision. Ensuring one’s survival is never a selfish act. Ronald DiFrancesco was one of the many inside the world trade center when it collapsed. All around him he saw people giving up,…
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…
No debate is truly about facts, at least that is what Kurt Schlichter believes, “But none of that matters, because this debate is not about facts”. Schlichter explains his views in his article “Gun Rights Advocates Have A Devastating New Argument Against Gun Control. Here It Is.” on the Independent Journal website. During debates, and also in argumentative articles, people’s emotions often take over and very few facts are actually used to support their arguments. Topics that lead readers and…
Immigration seems to be a popular topic of conversations among the American population today. Immigration has influenced our school systems, environment, language, culture, and political parties. Although immigration gets the wrap of a burden in our society, I feel as if it is a positive thing. With this being said, I do not believe that there should be NO restrictions as to who can enter our country wanting to live, work or study, but rather the following; there should be no restriction for…
of my heart, I know that he will make a great and lasting difference. Donald has a deep and unbounding determination and a never-give-up attitude. I have seen him fight for years to get a project done - or even started - and he does not give up! If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he is the 'guy '. He will never, ever, give up. And, most importantly, he will never, ever, let you down. Donald is, and always has been, an amazing…
How To Be “The Donald” Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hold the highest office in our land? The prestige, the honor, and the respect that comes with the job is what 43 men have had the chance to experience. And, this year, it was explicit that our nation would have the first women president to take the oath of the presidency. But, there is one orange, beautifully haired man, who refuses to let this transpire and is leading the charge to the democratic frontrunner, Hillary Clinton…
Both George Orwell’s allegorical tale, Animal Farm and Jimmy Fallon’s comedic clip of Donald Trump employ satire to demonstrate that some people are unfit to lead because they use fear and terror to maintain power. Orwell believes that any society where leaders have absolute power would fail because inevitably leaders use power for their own benefit. He criticises the failures of the Russian revolution and the subsequent totalitarian regime to provide strong and fair leadership and to establish…

Gates describes his experiences as Secretary of State while serving for two Presidential Administrations from 2006-2011. This Paper will analyze former Secretary of Defense, Robert M.
