Why [Insert Candidate Here] Should Be President

Northwest Liberty News

You must be ridiculously uninformed to vote for Trump.

You must be ridiculously uniformed to vote for Hillary.

Trump has told lie after lie!

Hillary has told lie after lie!

Trump claimed that the real unemployment rate was 42 percent, when it was really significantly lower.

Hillary said that she neither sent nor received classified information on her email server. It later came out that she had done just that, and put lives in danger while she was at it.

Trump stood by his statement that there was cheering from the side of New Jersey with a heavy Arab population at 9/11, but that claim was debunked by Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop and local police.

Hillary claimed that the Benghazi attack was retaliation for an anti-Muhammad video. However, she later told Hisham Qandil that she knew the attack had nothing to do with the video, but failed to tell the American public.

Trump retweeted wildly inaccurate statistics saying that 81 percent of homicides with white victims were committed by black people. The FBI lists this number closer to 15 percent.

Hillary claimed she landed under fire in Bosnia. She didn’t.

Trump truly cares about the American people!

Hillary truly cares about the American people!

Trump has actually created 34,000 jobs for the American people, instead of making empty promises.

Hillary went to work for Edelman’s Children’s Defense Fund after graduating from Yale because she cared about the children of America, even though she could have potentially had a higher paying job elsewhere.

Trump is a phony conservative!

Hillary is a phony liberal!

Trump has spoken out in favor of abortion in an interview with the late Tim Russert.

Hillary has stated that she thinks “marriage is as a marriage has always been, between a man and a woman,” and has rejected the idea of same-sex marriages in favor of a civil union.

Trump is the clear option for the 2016 presidential election!

Trump 2016! Make America great again!

Hillary for America! I'm with her!

Sometimes we only consider one side, the side we believe. We ignore and ridicule the other side and the people who believe that way. It's important to hear both sides, and to consider why people might believe differently than you. It's how we learn new things.

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.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.
