Fox 13 News

As January 20th comes closer and closer, more and more of President-Elect Trump’s cabinet is revealed. Historically speaking, Trump’s cabinet will be one of the most diverse to date. Here’s an overview of 3 of the minority picks that President-Elect Trump has appointed.

1. Ben Carson

Formal republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has been appointed as the Housing and Urban Development Secretary. Despite his minimal experience, many see this as a good pick for Trump. Seeing this side of his rough childhood makes it apparent that not only can he represent his race well as a minority in Trump’s cabinet, but also that he has a knowledge about urban areas that can be beneficial to his position as HUD secretary.

2. Elaine Chao

Elaine Chao has been named Trump’s Transportation Secretary. Chao first made an appearance in a president’s cabinet when George W. Bush appointed her to Labor Secretary in 2001. She was the first Asian-American Woman to be appointed to a cabinet.

3. Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley was the first female and minority governor of South Carolina. Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants. Haley has been successful as a governor, and many are looking forward to seeing what she will do as the U.N. Ambassador.


These are just a few of the examples that show the diversity that Trump is exemplifying through his cabinet. There are more appointments to come, and its most definitely going to be one of the most historic cabinets in history.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
