Let Me Help to Explain President-elect Trump
The Mountain

Are you triggered? Is newsfeed cluttered with depressed sentiments, cries of division, and claims of being "ashamed to be an American;" I am here to tell you, that is exactly why we have President-elect Donald Trump.


Before I get into it let me give you this, in hopes of lightening the mood:

#RIPHARAMBE


So, what/why/how/😐 TRUMP?

1. The Silent Vote spoke up.

Throughout this election Trump supporters have been called racist, sexist, bigots, homophobes, deplorable, and worse. The unspoken rule seemed to be that you do not speak of your support of Donald Trump in polite company. -- But wait this is America where we value the free exchange of ideas, we aren't afraid of words, but we work through our problems through civil discourse. -- Many Americans still hold that belief, and their vote reflected that.

2. Rejection PC culture.

Along the same lines as the value of free speech and the open exchange of thoughts and ideas is the rejection of political correctness. People were not drawn to Trump because of his "lewd" remarks, the were drawn to his candor and frank remarks on the state of the country. America is tired of being told what they can and cannot say, and Trump is the result of that.

People are tired of being called a racist, bigot, sexist, homophobes, and then attacked for their political views or simply because of theirrace or gender.


3. People care about upholding the LAW.

The media has tried to change the language, "illegal alien" is "racist," "illegal immigrant" is racist, what really best describes them is "undocumented migrants." 😩 Words are racist. I'm triggered.

But really lets just break this down real simply: people who live and even work in this country after entering the country illegally have broken the law, and are therefore ILLEGAL. In no way, shape, or form is this about race or even xenophobia -- this is about upholding the law.


4. The biased media was exposed.

CNN was busted. Interim head of the DNC and CNN contributor Donna Brazile was caught sending questions to Hillary's camp not once but TWICE. The first incident was before a town hall, and the question was about the death penalty. Brazile then sent a question in advance of a different debate that came from a Flint, Michigan family claiming to have suffered lead poisoning from their tainted water. Brazile, for her part, has never admitted wrongdoing, instead she has chosen to attack the Russian government when asked about the incident.


Brazile stated during a satellite radio interview with liberal activist and SiriusXM host Joe Madison, “My conscience — as an activist, a strategist — is very clear,” and added that “if I had to do it all over again, I would know a hell of a lot more about cybersecurity.”

Not much an apology for cheating.


^^ So unbiased.

5. SHE LIED and BROKE THE LAW.

Hillary Clinton broke the law while she mishandled countless top secret and classified documents, and she lied to the American public and to the FBI. She did not just have a separate private email account, she had her own server to send classified documents and information to those who were not authorized and to avoid the Freedom of Information act.

People have gone to jail for less.


Like it or not he is our next president.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
