Trump's 'Plan' To Defeat ISIS

The travesty of Trump's attack on ISIS.

It has been 150 days at the time of writing since Trump was officially made our president. Now things haven't become the dystopian world that many of us thought it would. Granted we aren't living in vaults, and living out all the other aspects of the Fallout games that I will not list, but there is a lot to be desired. In particular, a lot of the promises he has made. Most notably the crap show going on with Comey really leaves some integrity to be desired, and also the trip he took abroad was overshadowed by the leak that foreign leaders were prepping to serve his favorite meals, use slides with more pictures and less information, and scheduling "down time" AKA nap time into the president's schedule. It really does seem like Geoffrey Baratheon is in the White House.

If only George R. R. Martin could somehow comment on whether or not his character would act in such a way. He has? You can read it here? Well, there you go. You can see what I mean when I say there is a lot left to be desired. Jesus, there is a wing of Vice News right now which exclusively tracks each day of Trump's Presidency. Seriously I'm not lying, and every single day there is a scandal. And you can read these scandals here. The administration is kind of comical. Especially the plan to defeat ISIS. This is perhaps the greatest point that demonstrates the voluntary ignorance many Trump supporters are taking. So in 2016 when Trump bragged about his 30-day plan to defeat ISIS, people ate it up. Guess what? It's been 150 days. This leaves us with two options. (1) He was lying to all of you, he is a con artist, and he duped you. (2) He doesn't think ISIS is a big enough deal to get around to it. I mean, if he did, then he would have taken his 30-day plan and the Manchester and London attacks would have never have happened. But if he isn't a con artist, I guess he would rather just watch people die. No? Ok so then he does have a 30-day plan? No? OK, so he was lying? He was using rhetoric? Do you see how confusing this is?!

I'm sorry it's for being so emotional but I've been listening to several things that have really been irking me recently about the President. The reason this article is titled as such is that that instance really serves to demonstrate that he was either lying the entire time or literally has no idea how the government works. Whichever answer you go with, he comes off looking like a jerk or an idiot. Just like he did when he started criticizing the Mayor of London who was trying to make sure that people were not alarmed by the large police presence, AFTER he had urged people to stay away from the areas where the attack had taken place, fully acknowledging the attack. Trump is quite literally a child, and he's far removed from the "lad on tour" politically incorrect character of Winston Churchill, instead, he is an infuriating individual who refuses to listen to facts or anything apart from his own opinion for that matter.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
