Why Hillary Clinton Is the Worst Candidate for President
Washington Times

I'll make this article brief.

For some Americans the idea that we have a predominately two party system means that there are no other options besides Republican or Democrat. This is simply untrue. But at this time in our nation's history, we are at a crossroads. Two very hated individuals are the predicted nominees from the two major parties. So it has literally come down to choosing the lesser of two evils.

That mentality shouldn't exist. Third parties should be just as viable an option as Republican or Democrat. People are brainwashed into thinking that you should choose candidate A or candidate B, and that candidates C-Z just never have a chance.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what Hillary Clinton is banking on.

She knows that she can pit Trump's ego and loose tongue against himself to metaphorically shove his foot in his mouth. She is also betting that Trump's racist attributes and general unprofessionalism will continue to ruin his poll numbers as a viable option for president. She is hoping and praying that the American people can ignore her crimes against this country, as well as her shady behavior abroad.

Her dishonesty and her ability to do whatever it takes to get more power is incredible. Trump is too disliked and too much of a bully to actually accomplish anything as president. The other thing that Trump has got going for him is that he never killed anyone. Hillary's actions as Secretary of State have put countless lives in danger, with no exact number on how many have died as a result.

According to multiple sources, heads of state who became donors to the Clinton Foundation received huge weapons deals as a result. This includes Saudi Arabia's "$29 billion worth of advanced fighter jets" because of their $10 million dollar donation to her foundation.

And according to IBTimes's analysis of the State Department, Clinton approved $165 billion dollars worth of weapons sales to over 20 different countries such as Algeria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Libya, and Qatar. And some of these countries were described as "countries ruled by authoritarian regimes whose human rights abuses had been criticized by the department."

But even besides all her shady weapons deals that led to further destabilization of the Middle East, her stance on any domestic issue changes whenever someone tells her that it would make her more likely to win. She voted for the war in Iraq, was against gay marriage, supports fracking and the privatization of prisons... She just doesn't actually stand up for what she says she believes in. So even if the whole "putting lives in danger by mishandling sensitive classified documents" thing doesn't matter to you... She's never been on the side of colored people, LBGT people, poor people, or anyone who isn't on wall street or a CEO. She lies to get her way, then pretends that she got there because of hard honest work.

Unlike people like Nixon, Trump, or any other bad president or presidential candidate I can think of, Clinton truly doesn't have a stance she actually believes in. She just sways with whatever people want to hear, then does whatever she wants. She is everything wrong with America rolled up into a tiny pantsuit package.

I will say it once, and I will say it a thousand times. I will be damned if my future daughters grow up with such a disgrace of a role model as the first woman president. Women deserve a better woman in the White House, America deserves a better leader, and the world deserves an American president who isn't a filthy war monger.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
