Clinton's arms deals, shadiness, and love of the rich and powerful

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.

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.

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.
