Why Is Everyone Just Realizing Donald Trump Is Bad News?
Gage Skidmore

You saw him make horrible comments about Mexicans, propose bans on Muslims, and still push a stupid birther movement that should've ended long ago. It seems like every day, something or the other comes up with Donald Trump, but yet people still can't seem to see what's wrong with this guy. Just last week, he was addressing a group of conservative Christians in a conference in Iowa, he asked those who weren't Christians to identify themselves, and asked the audience "Should we keep them?" HOW is that okay?? Someone, please tell me. People that are raised as bigots, racists, sexists, and xenophobes usually don't change. There are several articles on how Donald Trump was racist in his business policies in the 70's, and with the new tape of him saying extremely sexist remarks about women, chances are he probably hasn't changed. He definitely still thinks of himself as a rich snob, and probably feels that his "wealth and success" entitle him to say or do whatever.

My only question is, why is the Republican Party only realizing this now? Where have you been for the past year and a half? What did you think Trump was saying when he was insulting Hispanics, African Americans, and Muslims? How did you think that was okay? How do you think this orange incompetent toddler is capable of handling our country's secrets, nuclear codes, and be the leader of the free world?

While many key Republicans have pulled their support for demonic Donald (and it was about damn time) there are still many that really haven't. After each political blunder, Trump seems to get himself into, they keep apologizing and coming out to the public saying they don't approve of his actions, but will still continue to support him. When are we going to start tying Donald Trump's actions with Donald Trump?? I'm looking at you Newt Gingrich, Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Say what you want about Hillary Clinton. About her emails, Benghazi, and so on, but technically, what she did wasn't illegal, which I think says a lot more about our legal system than it does about her. She's a woman who has proven herself time and time again for the past 30 years that she is capable of having this job. She's negotiated numerous peace deals as secretary of state, started the CHIP program for low-income families when she was a senator and has done so much more to improve the lives of everyday Americans. This election season, I hope that people open their eyes, and vote based on who is actually fit to do the job, not for the flashier candidate.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
