Joking Around


I am writing this as a response to “Trump the Joker”. I remember when Trump first started his political campaigns. I remember thinking to myself “this dude is a clown, there is no way he has a chance”. Fast forward a little later and he became the main candidate for the Republican Party, won presidency and is now intending to serve a second term, hopefully the latter will not happen.
It is very well known to us that Americans are either far right or far left and there is those few of us that are willing to have a civil discussion. A great example of being far right was this election, I didn’t have a problem with people voting Republican, I had a problem with people choosing Trump as the face of the Republican Party. Voting for Trump meant overlooking all the hateful things he has said, it was undivided loyalty to a political party regardless of outcome. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”  This quote right here was said by Trump at one of his campaign rallies to his audience. That is when I lost all respect for him and when he proved to be a “joker”. He marginalized a whole country, his neighbor country. Trump is very much like the joker except he doesn’t commit violent acts, instead he promotes hatred with statements like this.

The Dreamers

Our current President Donald Trump made some very interesting campaign promises, some good, some bad. Not only did he become more famous because of it, he also became more popular in the campaign raise.Amongst his campaign promises was building the wall and ending DACA. Like many of the promises he made, I thought these two were simply outrageous and comical. To my surprise, many people liked the promises and supported them. The wall should not be built plain and simple. But I am not here to talk about the wall, I am her to talk about DACA. Not Many people know about this program, DACA stands for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. It is a program that protects individuals who arrived to the states as kids and have lived here ever since. DACA grants a renewable temporary 2-year protection from deportation to these individuals. In the early days of September 2017 Trump chose to move forward with his promise and end the program, which was announced by Attorney General Jeff Sess

Teen Vaping

This is a response to Sean Mills’ post about teenvaping . I really liked the points discussed. Sean talks about the impact of teen vaping and he uses numbers to back up his statements. Sean informed us by giving us the name of the harmful chemical causing all these deaths, I would also like to add that this chemical was not only found in tobacco products, it was found in marijuana cartridges as well. This is something amusing to me as vaping products were made for our conveniences but at the price of our health. My first reaction to this post was that I agreed with the government stepping in because it would hold the vaping companies accountable. This would improve the health of the individuals who otherwise would continue to use these products. Although I believe this to be true, I do not think the state government should be allowed to dictate what vaping companies put out on the market, that is the beauty of capitalism. Instead of banning vape products, the government should requir

Soccer, a Universal Language

Soccer or football, however one may call it, is the most popular sport in the world. According to worldatlas.com it is estimated that at least half of the global population consider themselves soccer followers. It is also a known fact that we have a crisis at the border with thousands of children flooding in, many within the single digit age range. A big majority of these kids come without adult supervision, regardless of this, they want the same thing the adults want, a chance at a better life. Luma Mufle, from the Dallas Morning News talks about the controversial decision the Trump Administration has made, which is end recreational programs for kids in shelters. The administration decided to take away the opportunity to play soccer from these kids as they deemed it “not directly necessary for the protection of life and safety”. Mufle argues that this is a very bad decision and she talks about the negative impact it has on the children.                 My impression while readi
