Trump's RNC Entrance Was Breathtaking

Graham Digital

The Republican National Convention wrapped up on July 21. Donald Trump, now the official Republican nominee for the presidency, made a speech that got a lot of people excited. Republicans remarked about how relatively un-Trump the speech was. Democrats called him a fear-mongerer because he painted a dark picture of America over the past eight years and a darker picture of what he thinks a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like.

But quite frankly, I don't care much about his acceptance speech. His entrance on Monday night was more important and, quite frankly, much more electric.

I don't fashion myself a fan of Donald Trump, the presidential candidate. That being said, everything Trump does I find myself sitting back, shaking my head and smiling. So I guess I'm a huge fan of the character, the persona he puts on.

This entrance was straight out of WWE. Professional wrestling (a fake sport) brought to life (through a very real presidential race). It was artistry. It was a power move. It was electric.

Do I think Trump would make a great president? Hell no. (Do I think Hillary would make a great president? Hell no.) But... I think there is one move the Donald could've pulled that would've made him a lock to inhabit the Oval Office starting Jan. 20, 2017.

He shouldn't have picked Mike Pence to be his running mate. Donald Trump is the guy you imagine would come out of a combination of The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy Savage, a smoking hot wife (uh...wives) and billions of dollars. After all, he is the only presidential candidate in history to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

Which is to say, Pence was a safe, bullsh*t pick for V.P. If Trump really cared about winning, he would've run with Vince McMahon by his side. #TrumpMcMahon2016.

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

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

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.
