End Of An Error

Obama's terrible presidency is coming to an end.

End Of An Error

On January 20th, Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. I am not all too excited that Trump is coming in, but I am very much pleased thaat Obama is on the way out. Obama has lied his way through two terms and then lied on his way out during his farewell address. Obama does not deserve a thank you. He needs to be shown the door, because the sooner he leaves, the sooner we can get to work. Let's go through his "Legacy".

Responsible for the weakest economic recovery in American history

Obama loves to brag about how he got us out of a recession and helped create this thriving economy. All of that is true except for being completely false. Barry has had a record number of quarters where economic growth has been two percent or lower, labor force participation was brought down to a 40 year low, and there has been a decline in business startups and investment thanks to the administration's heavy regulations. Those examples are just a fraction of his damaging policies.

Obama's foreign policy has been disastrous

Obama has successfuly weakened America's foreign image over the last 8 years. The Obama administration has lied to us about the Iran deal and they have constantly been against Israel. We also should not let his administration forget what happened in Benghazi. Obama has not performed well on the foreign stage.

Race relations are worse now than what they were eight years ago

Obama could also be described as "The Great Divider" for how much he has been able to push the victimhood mentality and demonize cops. Obama has had a poisonous rhetoric, infecting our society. Polls show that Americans believe that race relations have gotten worse even though Barry stated otherwise. Two racist and hateful groups emerged under his two terms, that would be Black Lives Matter and the Alt-right. Obama has been race baiting his entire presidency, even inviting other race baiters like Deray to the White House.

Obama has been against the values that founded this country. He has lied his way through 8 years of scandals even though he has claimed to be scandal free. The change he has brought us has been awful, and I have not even discussed the dumpster fire that is Obamacare. Obama needs to pack up and get out, because America needs to get to work on repairing the damage he has done. He can kiss all of his so called "progress" goodbye.

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.

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.
