​Dear Devin Nunes, Please Step Down. Sincerely, Your Constituents.

Congressman Devin Nunes, your California constituents would like to have a word with you.

​Dear Devin Nunes, Please Step Down. Sincerely, Your Constituents.

Since the beginning of his administration, President Trump has had a hard time trying to quell any Russian connections that he has. From the intelligence agencies reporting that Russia meddled in our elections to the connection of a Russian bank to the Trump organization, many people would question whether Trump can definitively say that he has no connections with Russia.

Because of the alleged Russian connections to President Trump, Congress has opened an intelligence investigation into it. At first, all seemed to go well, people that we needed to hear from were coming to Capitol Hill, people like FBI Director James Comey. Everything seemed to go well until we found out some new information earlier this week.

The chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Congressman Devin Nunes, had meetings with the president, claiming that he had evidence that proved that the Obama administration had FISA warrants for Trump and his associates, which seem to corroborate Trump’s claim that President Obama had in fact placed surveillance on the Trump team. However, and this is a big thing to note, the director of the FBI has said that there was no evidence of targeted wiretapping or any kind of surveillance done on Trump or his associates. Not only has Director Comey said this, but Nunes himself said that it was common surveillance and that Trump and his associates fell into that surveillance at that time. Furthermore, President Obama cannot personally order wiretapping or surveillance on anyone, which is exactly what people have been saying since Trump first said that President Obama wiretapped him. The appalling thing that I don’t understand is why Congressman Nunes decided to go to the White House before telling the Democrats on his committee and even after he briefed his party members who told him to not go forward with the meeting at the White House without telling the Democrats first. And so...

Dear Congressman Nunes,

I have one request for you. Step down. Step down from your chairmanship on the House Intelligence Committee, so that we, your constituents and the American people can get a fair and balanced (yes, I did just quote Fox News, don’t get used to it) investigation into if Russia had any influence on our election. If we want to know the truth about what is happening with our elections, then we must have an unbiased investigation with the investigators being ones who do not show favoritism towards the White House, Russia, or their own parties. If Russia was involved in our election process, then we need to know about it so we can then take the appropriate steps to combat it.

I must admit that you have done some great things for California’s 22nd District, where I am from, but this is where we all draw the line. You were assigned to run a special investigative committee that was supposed to be independent and not swayed by one party or another. In fact, I will honestly say that I am surprised that you were chosen to lead this investigation, as you were part of the EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE of Trump’s Transition Team. If you were being honest with yourself, you would have recused yourself from the investigation. However, you have decided to go after your own goals and ambitions, which honestly does not surprise me, as many Congressional members do the same thing.


So, you have one of two options.

1. Get your head out of the President’s ass and get back to being more independent and running an unbiased investigation.

OR...

2. Step down and let someone else who is not easily swayed by the leader of the free world to do your job and give the American people the truth.

But in all honesty, Congressman Devin Nunes, please make the choice that shows your love of country and love of the American people.

Sincerely,
Your California 22nd District Constituents

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
