In spite of a scorched-earth campaign by Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Neil Gorsuch has been confirmed to fill the Supreme Court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s untimely death last year. Gorsuch’s nomination was one of the most significant actions of the Trump presidency so far, and his confirmation will now have profound implications for our nation over the next several decades. Here are four reasons why American citizens—especially Evangelical conservatives—should consider Gorsuch’s confirmation a great victory and why he might be better even than Scalia, whose place on the bench he would take. 1.
The United States just elected a new president recently. This is a major event, because this is a country that values the citizens right to vote above many other rights and privileges. The months and weeks leading up to the election were very divisive and showed how humans have a long way to go before reaching a peaceful resolution of
Donald Trump, a notorious real estate mogul, is running for president on a platform that started
The 45th Presidential Election Throughout the past few months, the 45th presidential election has been in full swing as the news, social media, and various people of all ages and beliefs are speaking out about who they believe the next president, Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, should be. Governor Mike Pence of Indiana, who is 57 years old and grew up on a cornfield in Southern Indiana, has recently accepted to be Donald Trump’s running mate. While speaking to the country at the Republican National Convention, Pence provides comparisons and statistics about Trump and himself, in order to persuade his audience to vote for the Republican candidate. In his Vice President Acceptance Address, Governor Mike Pence uses metaphors and ethos to verify
"The Monkey's Paw" by W.W Jacobs in narrated through a third person viewpoint. This story is laced full of foreshadowing and has creepy tones that tie in with the eery sounding title. The author was able to talk about serious topics of the time while still being entertaining and still being catagorized into the horror genre. The story begins with a family having a good time in a cozy cottage out in the middle of nowhere and an unexpected visitor appears knocking at their door. The man presents them an Indian monkey's paw and he claims it has the power to grant three different users, three different wishes.
After nearly fifty days in the White House, President Trump has done an excellent job. On his second day in office he vowed to destroy the Islamic State, and on his ninth day he fulfilled his promise of a 5 year-ban on officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government, and a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government, which was a promise kept. (foxnews.com) My favorite quote by my President Trump is “My policy is to learn from the past, focus on the present, and dream about the future. " I think that this quote describes him perfectly as a president.
The Republican Party was founded in 1854, by anti-slavery activists and members of the Whig Party, and it is referred as Grand Old Party or GOP. The Republican Party is known in supporting issues, such as, socially conservative policies, free market capitalism, opposing regulation and labor unions. During the history there have been eighteen Republican U.S. Presidents, but in this essay I am going to focus on only six of them divided into two periods of time; three Republican presidents of 1920s and the first three Republican presidents elected after World War II. The first three presidents of the 1920s period of time are named Warren Harding, Calving Coolidge, and the last one Herbert Hoover. A similarity between these three Republican presidents
In 2016, the presidential election was brutal: the two candidates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton spoke negatively about each other every chance they got and it still remains undetermined whether or not one or both candidates bribed and cheated their way to the top of their party. Additionally, the battle to decide the Democratic party’s nominee was tight, as Bernie Sanders was extremely popular with the young, liberal voters. In a way, 2016’s election bears many similarities to the Election of 1800. They both began with three potential winners: a popular upstart who was attempting to make his presidential debut, an occasionally-unconstitutional lawyer who had had already had an influential voice in the executive branch, and a racist, loud-mouthed,
Keepin’ It Real With Hillary The Presidential Election being only fourteen months away, presidential candidates, especially the republican candidates, are lined up as far as the eye can see. Some would say that this election is one for the year books, since the most favored candidates are not of the stereotypical politicians. The most noticeable nontraditional presidential candidate is Donald Trump, a high powered billionaire.
In politics, all different sorts of polls are set up to someway decide the fate of an election, but in the end it’s always a toss-up. It’s a messy business, and it’s not uncommon for a candidate to say one thing only to go back on it later on. Governor Christy was no exception to this, switching from his stances against Trump to saying that he was “proud to...endorse Donald Trump for president of the United States.” He went on to state that he even believed Trump could beat Clinton and lead the Republicans to taking back Congress. To some, this might seem beneficial, but to a great deal of others, it’s a terrifying jump.
President-elect Trump’s transition team has spoken out against unprecedented (no pun intended) actions President Obama has taken against Israel by abstaining from a recent UN vote. However, why is President Obama siding with Russia, by abstaining, amidst accusations from Trump supporters that President Obama is making up these claims? During his administration, President Obama has repeatedly allowed Russia to play a bigger role, and infamously tried to reset relations with Russia.
One of the biggest controversies in the United States today is immigration. This is a huge topic in the country today because there is numerous people on both sides of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform that present great evidence about it. This reform is impacting millions of immigrants that are working and living in the Unites States today, but it also affects the people that are citizens of the United States. In this paper I am going to present arguments from both sides of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform, then come to a conclusion on which side I choose to place my opinion. There are a lot of worthy things that this reform is going to accomplish for immigrants in the United States.
An American society sick and tired of political correctness, the vilification of manliness, countless degradations of the American culture and an insulting replacement of American values with foreign practices have catapulted Trump into the stratosphere. His strategy is simple. He has cast aside the careful and politically correct considerations of past and present candidates while attacking liberal agendas with accuracy and zest. The level of desperation for a candidate who is willing to face down the bias of media reporting, vicious attacks from the left and the failed promises of a party that is supposed to represent the conservative ideals of the majority, is both frightening and loud. Regrettably, the GOP has now joined the chorus of leftist assaults on
The 2016 political race has been an especially interesting one. Both party’s candidates have encountered problems with agitating it’s voters. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate has an estimated fifteen million registered Republicans not voting for him in November, according to the Washington Post. This includes many well respected GOP affiliates like John McCain, Carly Fiorina, and Mitt Romney.
The 2016 Presidential election has already set out to be the most one of the most historical election to date. Nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have been doing everything in their power to obtain the Victory. While many citizens may agree that both are unqualified to be president. The 3rd party candidates are trailing by a huge margin in the race to become the next president of the United States of America. The choices come to down to either one of the two democratic and republican nominees’.
