Just in case you haven't been checking social media or haven't been updated on the news, President Trump has had a week of roller coasters, and a week that makes me prouder than ever to call him our Nation's president.

Here are three main things that happened this past week that you must know about.

1. President Trump Officially withdraws from the Paris Climate Agreement.

Liberals had a total frenzy over this. First things first, the Paris Climate Agreement officially states that Paris as well as other countries like the US were coming together in order to reduce fossil fuels. And although I am on-board with that idea, I did a little research on just what fossil fuels are. Technically they are oil, coal, and natural gas, but they also come from fertilizers, and maintaining landfills. That is where I started to think of the repercussions of the Paris Climate agreement. I live up in Northern Colorado where the majority of the people in the area make their living off of these types of fossil fuels. Weld County alone is one of Colorado's top providers. Taking oil wells away would put thousands of people out of work. Not to mention, it really hit home when people started talking about maintaining landfills. As the daughter of an owner of a widely successful Waste Company in the Denver-metro area, this really started to grind my gears. There will always be trash and until Boulder can invent some inexpensive way to recycle everything a human owns, then maybe they should stop thinking about robbing Americans of our jobs and focus on the weed they smoke.

Another thing about the Paris Climate agreement is jobs will always be one of the cornerstones of this country, it is the land of opportunity after all. That means jobs for anyone and everyone willing to put in the work. Mother earth is important, but If there were no jobs, the world wouldn't be sustainable which is just as big of a problem, survival of the fittest, socialism... do liberals actually read history books?

But in case that wasn't convincing, here are direct stats. If the Paris Climate Agreement would have gone into effect it would have destroyed 400,000 jobs by 2035. It would have increased household electricity costs by 20%, and resulted in a 2.5 trillion dollar loss in GDP. Yeah, and the Paris Climate agreement was a great idea. America is strong enough to come up with our own plan for renewable energy. No Paris Climate Agreement is a step in the right direction, rather than making other countries rich and us poor simply by following in Paris's footsteps.

2. Kathy Griffin went nuts

Katy Griffin, comedian and CNN employee, decided to post this little picture of herself with a decapitated Donald Trump head. I saw this and thought, "wow liberal celebrities are more nuts than I thought." Newsflash Kathy, the world doesn't revolve around celebrities only, hello "We the People". I decided to actually follow up on what her consequences would be if she wasn't one of these Hollywood Elite that has a discounted punishment just for being famous. Truth is that this picture is classified as threatening The United States of America, which is a class E Felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871 [1][2][3]. " It consists of willing fully mailing or others making any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the president of The United States"( Legal Information Institute). And liberals will be glad to know that this too is a law that protects Obama and other past presidents. The United States Secret Service are the people who are investigating this very case and there will be a court hearing. The normal punishments for doing so are up to five years in prison, fines, or a combination of the two (Legal Information Institute).

Personally, I don't think she should be able to buy her way out of this one because she needs to learn her lesson that protesting has gone too far this time. Hate speech and threatening doesn't only count if you're liberal, it counts if you live in this country, no matter what. Imagine what it feels like to be Barron Trump, an 11 year old that wakes up to this on social media threatening for his fathers life. This is something that causes children to have a fear simply for believing in family and what they believe to be right (which is). So keep that in mind, liberals, next time you try and threaten the life of the president of this great nation.

3. "Covfefe"


It was the tweet seen around the world that liberal political analysts just couldn't get enough of this past week. Speculation was that President Trump should have the decency to spell check if he is going to tweet. Well here you go, uneducated liberals, I did some digging and "Covfefe" is actually from the bible translating to "in the end we win". Meaning even though the fake news keeps reporting, in the end good rises above.
So god luck next week trying to destroy the greatest president the 21st century has ever known.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
