Sit Down, Donald Trump

Mac Miller called out Donald Trump, and it was beautiful.

Sit Down, Donald Trump

Donald Trump... You suck. Plain and simple. But there's someone who has said it better. Recently rapper Mac Miller was on Comedy Central, slamming Donald Trump-- thank God! Someone needed to do it. Not only did Mac Miller 'hit the hammer on the nail', he also brought some crucial points to light.

Mac first starts off with "I f*cking hate you Donald Trump". AMEN. But that's not what's great about this video (but it's a good start!), Mac calls out Donald Trump for trying to sue him. When Mac Miller's song "Donald Trump" was first released, Donald Trump was happy. He was proud of him and so impressed with the song that he called Mac the "new Eminem." Once the song got more popular, Donald Trump was no longer happy. He tweeted numerous tweets at him saying "Little @MacMiller, you illegally used my name for your song “Donald Trump” which now has over 75 million hits" and "Little @MacMiller, I’m now going to teach you a big boy lesson about lawsuits and finance. You ungrateful dog!" Back to politics though...

Donald Trump wants to make America great again. To be honest though, America does need to become great again, but Mr. Trump has a different vision for that. "Ban Muslims, Mexican's are rapists, Black lives don't matter-- make America great again? I think you want to make America white again." Mr. Miller even goes as far to call him a "racist son-of-a-b*tch." It seems a little harsh. Truly someone who has the majority of the country's votes isn't racist. The mayor of New York, Bill De Blasio explained to CNN that Donald Trump uses racism as a "strategic tool". Is that a joke? The man enables racism. Last year he tweeted a clearly false demographic claiming that 81 percent of white homicide victims are killed by blacks (the actual figure is 14 percent).

Moving on, Mac Miller says that Donald Trump is fueling the fire for hate groups such as the KKK and neo-Nazis. Three white nationalist leaders have banded together to form their own super PAC in support of Trump. Trump Claims to not want their support, but there's a reason they support him. Andrew Anglin, the publisher of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer wrote “Heil Donald Trump — THE ULTIMATE SAVIOR,” in support of the Republican front-runner’s anti-Muslim plan.

Donald Trump will do, say, or allow anything, if it means he'll get more attention. He openly admitted it to the New York Times.

The concluding thought is whether or not Donald Trump is evil. Mac Miller isn't sure, and to be honest, I'm not either. A scarier thought though is that he might run the country someday. At this rate, there's a pretty good chance he will. Right now he has 46.3% of the Republican party.

Why are people supporting him?

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
