Clinton Email Scandal: Breaking The Law

Why I Am Against Voting For Hillary Clinton.
TV guide

I'm sure everyone has seen the news cycles about the Clinton email scandal, and hopefully like me, you are already sick and tired of hearing about them. However, I have to say one more thing about this scandal, and it’s one of many reasons why I won't vote for Hillary Clinton. I believe that she knew exactly what she was doing when she sent those emails, as well as fully believing she would be untouchable if she got into trouble. A question that I have is why are politicians held to a lesser standard than the hard-working Americans? These are the people that we elect to office, so that our voice is heard, but in reality little of the American voice is heard. Most of these people are corrupt and in each other’s pockets, so when, God forbid, one of them gets into trouble, it is quickly hidden and never seen again. In the live Capitol Hill meeting with FBI director James Comey that was held on July 7, 2016, he stated that "only three emails held classified information." Do you really believe that out of the thousands of emails that Clinton sent and received, only three held classified information?

During the meeting Comey repeatedly put his foot in his mouth, including saying that if a government worker handled classified information the way that Clinton did, then they would have been disciplined. How does that make sense? How can I vote for someone that clearly mishandled classified information, but because of who she is, she’s not going to be held responsible? Comey goes on to say that for the three and a half hours that his team questioned Clinton, there is no audio tape or transcript of the interview. So, there is simply no proof of anything that Comey is saying? If there is no proof that what you are saying is correct, then can we assume that you are just trying to get on her good side? Here we have Director Comey, who is the only one to testify, but he didn't question Clinton in person?

Although there are many reasons why I won't be voting for Clinton on Election Day, this email scandal is among them. In a simple world, no one would care about who's sending emails and what is in them. However, this is the United States and because of the classified information, no matter how big or small, that she sent and received, she should be held responsible.

Why should I vote for someone who thinks that nothing can touch her?

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.
