Why I'm A Millennial That's Voting Trump

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump knows what he is talking about.

Why I'm A Millennial That's Voting Trump
SB Nation

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is not afraid to say what he thinks. He has big plans for the country and there are a ton of people ready to support him. This past week, Trump officially accepted the Republican nomination.

In his closing speech Thursday, Trump said "I am the law and order candidate." His speech was about justice and what is deserved. His whole speech was about justice and equality. He said he will work to insure that all of our kids are treated and protected equally. While the media wants to focus on racism and the divide between cultures, Trump used his speech to focus on closing the gap and making sure everyone is treated equally with the same opportunities. For those of you who say he is against homosexuals, he even made sure he gave a full spill on how he will do everything in his power to continue to protect the rights of the LGBTQ community.

And of course, to finish up his speech he threw in one of his favorite topics: ISIS. He plans on working with Israel to eliminate the massive threat we are facing as Americans. He plans on suspending immigration from any country that has been compromised. There are many people against this idea, but personally, I believe this is a great idea. Trump said "I only want to let people into our country who will support our values and love our people." I completely agree with this. Immigration is not the problem. The problem is the immigration system that is in place. There are terrorists slipping in the cracks and endangering the lives of millions of people in the United States.

His slogan is "Make America Great Again." To me, this means make America strong. Make America the country that, historically, other countries did not want to mess with. It means make America the country where someone dreams of coming to make a life for themselves. America was not built on the idea that we are entitled to sit on our butts all day and live off of handouts. America was founded on the idea of hard work. Hard work that earns you a living to support your family.

The idea of hard work no longer exists. You work all week just to have half of your paycheck go to taxes. What happens to the taxes? They are used to give money to those who are too lazy to work for their own money. NOTE: I am not saying government programs are all bad. The idea they represent is great. I am saying they are extremely misused. It has come to a point where many people abuse the system so they do not have to work. There are also situations where the programs make it hard for someone to break free. I am simply trying to make a point that if you are not trying, you do not deserve any government assistance.)

So, love him or hate him, Donald Trump knows what he is talking about. He knows business, economy, and politics. He is not a politician. He is not afraid to speak his mind. He may offend you, but you know what he is saying is the truth (or at least what he believes is the truth). You do not have to attempt to read between the lines and try to decipher the hidden meanings.

Yes, I am a millennial. Yes, I am voting Trump.

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.
