Warning: The truth about Donald Trump Will be spoken. It may seem cruel or harsh, but it is the truth. The truth hurts, at least when it comes to politics in 2016.

We have all heard bits and pieces of his speeches and what he thinks, but do you really know what Donald Trump stands for and believes? Well, I went to: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/ (Trump's official website) and one of the first things I found was a six step description of how Mexico will "Pay For The Wall.' Very detailed but I do not think it is going to happen. Then I wandered upon his healthcare reform. Trump plans to completely repeal the affordable care act(Obama Care). Trump says he wants to "reduce the number of individuals needing access to programs like Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program we will need to install programs that grow the economy and bring capital and jobs back to America." Well that is a great idea while the rich get richer and the poor get poorer you can take away children's healthcare assistance. He has many plans of what to take away and how to do it but few plans of what he will give America (other than his wall), how he will fix the economy, or how he will reduce the number of people needing government assistance. This will not Make America great again! Trumps thoughts on immigration reform, well there's that wall again, " A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border.".Pretty much every idea of his goes back to building a wall or "making America great again". No plan I found on this website will lead America anywear near greatness. So was this what I expected to find after what the media has told us... sadly yes this is exactly what I saw coming and America I am so disappointed you let this man go this far. Trump is a racist, arrogant, pompous man whom we can not allow to run This country(unless into the ground). America Please make an educated decision before you vote we can not let Donald Trump be our Future President(or Dictator). Everyone 18 and older, go out and vote please!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
