The Best Quotes From The RNC

Last week, the Republican National Convention took place in Cleveland, Ohio. According to the Convention's website, approximately 2,470 delegates and 2,302 alternate delegates from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and five territories were in attendance.

If you're like me, you may have been a little skeptical about Donald Trump actually being the Republican Party's candidate for president. However, through his campaign and the RNC, I honestly believe that he is the best person for the job. Here are 12 quotes from the RNC that I believed were noteworthy.

  1. “There is too much old and not enough grand in the way we express our party’s interests to the next generation voters.” –Alex Smith, College Republican National Committee Chairman (No, not the Alex Smith from the Chiefs)
  2. “If Hillary cannot give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency?” –Pat Smith, Mother of Benghazi victim
  3. “I am here because we are at a crossroads, and something must change now.” –Karen Vaughn, Mother of fallen U.S. Navy Seal
  4. “Do we settle for the path we are on, or do we take a better way?” –Kevin McCarthy, House Majority Leader
  5. “Impossible is only the beginning.” Donald Trump Jr., Oldest son of Donald Trump.
  6. “Nobody is above the law, and nobody is too small to deserve its protection.” –Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House
  7. “For those of you who don’t know me, which is most of you, I grew up in the front yard of the American Dream.” –Mike Pence, Governor of Indiana, Vice President Nominee
  8. “I’m a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican. In that order.” –Mike Pence
  9. “We will always stand with those who stand on the thin blue line of law enforcement in America.” –Mike Pence
  10. "Friends, delegates, and fellow Americans, I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States." - Donald Trump, Republican Presidential Nominee
  11. "A change in leadership is required to produce a change in outcome." - Donald Trump
  12. "There can be no prosperity without law and order." - Donald Trump

Now, to November,

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.

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.
