He Is OUR President.

I dont agree with everything he says because our country gives us the freedom to pick what we believe.

He Is OUR President.

Yes. I am a white, middle class women. Yes. Not that it should matter to you but I'll let you know anyway. I voted for Trump.

I am pro-life and I believe in same sex marriages, you should get what you work for, not all homeless people are homeless because they are lazy, minimum wage shouldn't be raised to $15 an hour, Louisiana should change its constitution so we can do budget cuts in more places than just the 2 most important policies: education and health. I believe government funds like food stamps and welfare are not bad things if you truly need them and that women need equity.

On social media everyone seems to make all white people racist, all colored people thugs, all Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese people super smart. STEREOTYPES.

According to Merriam-Webster.com a stereotype is an often unfair and untrue belief that many people have about all people or things with a particular characteristic.

Just because I am white doesn't mean I am racist and just because I am a woman doesn't mean I am all for women equality. Saying all Muslims are terrorist is like saying all Whites are racist. Either way it's not accurate. Technically its equity first, equality later. You cant fight for women and men to be equal because we are not. We're different and can not be treated the same. However, if women fought for equity in how the world treats them, it would be a legitimate fight, since your demanding to have the same rights that men have. Equality only works when everyone starts at the same level, you have to have equity before equality.

I think we have a president who is finally willing to put its people first and a lot of people are just really pissed about it. But in case you didn't know; the US is over 19.8 trillion dollars in debt and has over 49,933 homeless veterans, 402,378 kids in the foster care system, along with 7.5 million of people unemployed. We cant even take care of our own people and you expect us to care for millions of others. America is not what it used to be and we are just incapable of helping everyone.

I am Pro-LIFE from a baby to elderly. Black, white, Muslim, it doesn't matter. A life is a life and this is not a Muslim ban. Its a ban against 7 countries that the majority of their population is Muslim. These countries are the countries listed by the Obama Administration as the counties of concern. But guess what? There are over 40 other countries in that surrounding area that's majority population is Muslim and they aren't ban. They aren't ban because they're has been no terrorist activity /alert/ worry coming from those places. This ban is technically not even a ban and its not permanent. They are going threw a vetting process which means they are doing background checks on people. When and If a person has been cleared they will be allowed back into the United States.President Obama did the same thing in 2011. Personally, I have no problems with people crossing the border, refugee, immigrant or just a visitor on vacation. I believe you are and should be welcome here if you come here to make a better life for yourself, applying for a visa/green card, etc, paying your taxes and being a productive member of the America society.

We call keep fighting and protesting but honestly it doesn't seem to be getting us anywhere. There was no riots, fighting, etc when the tables were turned the other way. No I don't agree with everything Trump says but that's with anything. Our country gives us the FREEDOM to let us pick and choose what we believe in. Trump wasn't even in office yet, and wasn't given a chance. So wait a few months and see where he gets us. He is our president.

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.
