Liar, Liar, Trump On Fire

Let's just say, if Donald Trump played a game of 'To Be Honest' on Instagram, you shouldn't trust it.

Donald Trump has said a lot of things, like how he was the greatest businessman, but now we see that it isn’t really true with his casinos. He also tends to lie about who he knows, what he makes, and how he makes it.

His casinos in Atlantic City were not bringing in enough gamblers, so the money he borrowed was much more than the revenue he brought in. Now, of course, he came out with millions, according to The New York Times, but stocks and bondholders lost about 1.5 billion dollars. Trump did not pay the “little men” so they had to file for bankruptcy about five times.

He also says that he is a self-made man doesn’t he? I seem to recall his father giving him “a small loan of one million dollars.” I also remember his father bailing him out of trouble with 3.3 million dollars. Although he was in trouble for it, they only made him pay 65,000 dollars. That’s insignificant compared to 3.3 million.

Donald Trump is, simply put, a liar. Now, let’s look at Trump’s relationship with David Duke. The Washington Post has put together a timeline of the relationship or name drops of Duke or Trump. In the 90’s, Trump knew who David Duke was. Trump said he hated what voting for Duke represents… so obviously, he knew who he was. Now? “Well, just so you understand, I don’t know anything about David Duke. Okay?” But, in 2000, he called Duke a bigot, a racist, and a problem. I’m sure it’s all confusing, but that’s what happens when a liar like Trump gets his stories mixed up.

He also lied about his numbers compared to Ronald Reagan. Trump says his numbers are greater than Reagan’s, but they aren’t. He is actually in a worse spot than Reagan was.

Another lie, that was pretty pathetic, was an ad he put out saying Mexicans were swarming all over the border. Problem is, the footage was from Morocco. His team cut out the RepublicaTV watermark logo from the video and the 2014 time stamp.

We knew that Trump was just a bad person period, but politifact has a full list of absolute lies he has told. Just in case you were interested in the stories your Republican nominee tells in his spare time, check out the website linked above.

So, all these lies are coming from your possible future president. It’s in your hands America.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
