Will Donald Trump Reveal The Bigotry Still Widespread In America?
Trump Campaign

If you have been following the upcoming presidential election, then I’m sure you have seen the followers and supporters of millionaire Donald Trump are gathering. He has even gained the support of two African American women who have gone to social media and Fox News to endorse their candidate. Why is Trump gaining so much popularity on his campaign? Is he touching any key issues? Is he selling dreams of hope and change?

No, in my opinion Trump's campaign has become more synonymous with ambiguous hate. There has been more and more intensifying violence at Trump rallies across the country. The two most recent ones occurred in Illinois and Ohio where protesters rioted, fought and caused Trump not to show up for safety precautions. Trump has shown that he is not really a politician but more of a TV personality. His debates are filled with low-blows and sometimes even child-like behavior. The whole Trump campaign is something straight out of an HBO film. He excites his crowd with violence and promises to restore America to greatness again. Trump’s campaign is only adding to the already increasing racial tension in this country.

If he is already stirring up trouble in America, how can we expect him to go to other countries and not stir up trouble there? How could America become great again? Trump in office is a complete disaster waiting to implode in our Nation's Capitol. Even if Trump is defeated who can we trust to run our country and lead us to greatness. There are still doubts of whether or not Hillary Clinton is a formidable candidate. Bernie and his socialist reform will not get far with Republicans. Donald Trump is very likely to win POTUS. Will he lead our country to greatness or mediocrity?

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.
