Do not Be Complacent

I intend on this to be the final political post, as I don't have a dog in the fight concerning the NFL playoffs and don't watch the Pro bowl.

Many of the people who voted for Trump are republicans, and they seemed to have turned a blind eye and given Trump a pass.

As someone who is a libertarian republican, this concerns me as many harped and voiced concerns about Obama's executive orders and actions. Now we are fine with Trump doing the same thing, as he has made some major decisions this week and many are giving him a pass due to having to overturn Obama's executive orders and not having a full Cabinet in place.

We all need to realize that no one is perfect, nor should we allow government officials to get away with stuff just because they are of the same party.

It is our job to not them get out of line, as many seem to forget that we are their bosses and do not need to be afraid to call them out on stuff. If we let them run free, then we wonder where our rights went and how they became so powerful.

There are three groups of Republicans/Conservative

The Alt Right is not a part of the party in my eyes

1. The anti- Trumpers - a group of right wingers who would never vote for him and support him,

2. The Wait and see group- a group that did not necessarily vote for him, but may have voted for a third party option. This group holds him accountable and don't let him get away with stuff without calling him out on it. This is the group all Republicans/conservatives should be in

3. The Trump Worshipers- some treat him as the Second Coming, and do not question anything about him and don't hold him accountable

It is not okay to threaten the POTUS or go after the family, but is fine to voice concerns about his policies

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
