5 Reasons Chris Christie Is The Worst
Breit Bart

Is it walking diabetes? No! Is it a twinkie? No! It's New Jersey's governor Chris Christie! Governor Christie time and time again has let his personal interests outweigh his responsibilities to New Jersey. From Bridgegate to endorsing a bigot for president, here is a list of Christie's major screw-ups.


1. Vetoed Atlantic City's Rehabilitation Funds

Yup! You read that correctly. Chris Christie is refusing to help get AC back on its feet. It just so happens that he is endorsing the man who helped destroy the city, Donald Trump. Why? Christie states that South Jersey policymakers are wasting tax payer's money, and the only way Christie feels that AC will get better is with a state takeover. In this takeover would hurt police and fire unions in the city. Does Christie care? Not one bit.


2. "Do you want me to go down there with a mop?"

This was Christie's response to Blizzard Jonas. Not only was he out of the state campaigning when Jersey was prepping for the storm he really only came back for a few days and left to continue what was then his presidential campaign. He pretty much just got up and left, to continue his campaigning. We all know his presidential campaign has gone so well.

3. Chris Christie's Attitude Towards Educators

Just when you think the man can't get any worse, he does! Chris Christie must've had something happen in his schooling process that made him hate all educators. The way he treats and demeans these hard working people is somewhat baffling. He's suggested that teachers should be paid minimum wage and that teachers unions deserve a punch in the face. He even once placed teachers on par with drug dealers for giving students budget information. Christie, I'm sorry for whatever happened in your childhood classroom, but it's time to get over it.


4. Bridgegate

Back in 2013, The George Washington Bridge had numerous lane closings. This caused major traffic and turmoil for the surrounding community. A 91-year-old woman even died of cardiac arrest because she was not able to make it to the hospital. This all happened as political revenge. Christie's appointed Port Authority executive is the one who orders the lane closures with emails later surfacing as proof stating it was time for traffic problems in Fort Lee. Christie claims to not have known about what happened, but emails and other executives under him have suggested otherwise.


5. Missing 3/4 of the Year in 2015

In 2015, Christie spent more than 200 days out of state. His job is literally to run the state, how can that happen when you're not there? Christie was again off campaigning for a presidential nomination that will never be his. How can you expect to lead America when you're not even leading New Jersey?


Chris Christie is one of the worst things to happen to New Jersey. He doesn't care about anyone other than himself, only seeking to further his political career. He is on his way to being the 2nd worst governor in all America. (I say second because the governor of Michigan positioned women and children with lead, but I digress.) Maybe Christie should retire from politics and do what he does best, eat. Who knows, maybe he'll find his greatest success in competitive eating.

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.
