We Need Tomi Lahren

Our voices do matter.

Tomi Lahren didn’t really come out onto the scene until early of 2016 and since then, she’s made a name for herself. People love her and people hate her. There is no in between. Of course, many have an issue with the way Tomi speaks her mind and how blunt and honest she is. Many argue that she’s racist, a bigot or that she isn’t allowed to speak her mind freely because all it does is divide us. But what people aren’t talking about is how important Tomi’s voice is and why we shouldn’t excuse her but we actually need her. In fact, we need more people like her.

Do you realize that most on the left hate on Tomi because she’s a conservative? If Tomi was a democrat, people would praise her, including the media. Why would people praise her? Because Tomi says what everyone else is thinking but are too afraid to say it. She’s a voice for those who are voiceless. What am I talking about when I say she says what we’re all thinking? Let me clarify.

  • The very people you call racists aren’t racists at all.
  • Why are all white people being targeted? Just because maybe ‘one’ person is racist doesn’t make us all racist.
  • Those who didn’t vote for Obama survived an Obama presidency. Tomi is right about this. They are fine and we respected our president. You will be okay under a Trump presidency. You will survive.
  • Why are we putting all of our hope into a president?
  • You who constantly rip apart those who voted for Trump or who don’t agree with you is exactly why we have a Trump presidency. Can’t we all just be civil?
  • When we say ‘All Lives Matter’ we include all lives, not just white lives. Black lives are a part of ‘all lives’
  • Blue lives do matter (and don’t say there is no such thing as blue lives because there is. They are the guys dressed in uniform who vow to protect their city and you). When you’re in trouble, who do you call?
  • We have freedom of speech. We’re allowed to use it.
  • We need Tomi because if it weren’t for Tomi, the silent majority wouldn’t be heard they way they are being heard now. Perhaps the left doesn’t like Tomi because she is telling the truth and she’s practicing her right to freedom of speech. Tomi isn’t a racist or a bigot or a white privileged female. She’s a strong, independent woman who speaks her mind, and isn’t that what we all root for? Or are we only rooting for strong, independent women only when they agree with us? Are we only rooting for hard-working women who we’ve never disagreed with in our lives? If this is what we are doing, why? We should listen to Tomi when she says that we shouldn’t look at the side people are on or judge by what party we are in. We work hard and we stand together. That’s the kind of people we should strive to be. That’s the kind of women we should root for no matter what race or side they are on or whether you agree or disagree with them.

    That little voice in your head that tells you to keep going – listen. Don’t listen to Bernie or Hillary tell you free things are your incentive to apply for college or vote. Your incentive doesn’t come from the government, it comes from your brain, your heart, your family, and your creator. That’s something we all have in common. Don’t distribute my wealth, distribute my work ethic.” - Tomi Lahren

    What else does Tomi do? She pushes you and she challenges you to think. What she’s doing for many people in America is allowing them to have a conversation. She’s telling you to think for yourself and to not allow the government or a political leader to think for you. We need more people in the media to push their audience to think for themselves. We need more people like Tomi Lahren for this reason alone.

    Let’s stop relying and putting all of our hope in a president. A president is going to fail because after all, a president is only human. They make mistakes. Obama made mistakes, Raegan made mistakes and I am sure Trump will also. What we need to start doing is following the example of Tomi Lahren and practicing our right to freedom of speech and thinking for ourselves. Let’s not have a conversation filled with hate or accusing the other person. Let’s have a conversation where we can learn from each other, while practicing our right to free speech. Isn’t that what’s so great about America? Sure, she’s passionate and she’s in your face and sometimes people don’t agree with her but she’s also strong, independent and not afraid to speak her mind. Let’s all aspire to be that way. Let’s aspire to root for all women not just some. Most importantly, let’s not become a nation divided but let’s become a nation unified.

    In the words of Tomi, those are my final thoughts.

    God bless and take care.

    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.

    The Importance Of Being A Good Person

    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.
