Why We're Doomed This Election

This election has definitely been one for the books. It is to the point now where a lot of people have the mindset of 'either or, we are screwed.' In the end, it is important that everyone in america is well-informed and votes to the best of their knowledge. Everyone has there own opinions and that is ok, but do not vote based on facts that will not benefit out country as a whole.

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee being that he is the only one left. The same guy who Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, recently called a " textbook definition of a racist comment" is in the running to be the next president of the United States ... Interesting.

Paul Ryan made this remark after Donald Trump accused the judge for his recent case in federal court of being impartial because of his Mexican heritage. Trump claims that due to his campaign on illegal immigration, having a judge with a Mexican heritage has led to a unfair trial.

Federal Judge Gonzalo Curiel does not believe that "one's heritage makes them incapable of being impartial," he told CNN.

This is just another comment and stunt carried out by Donald Trumps racist agenda.I am not saying Hillary Clinton is innocent either. How both of these candidates made it this far scares me for americans.

Clinton is not a law abiding citizen nor is she honest. We have all known about the email scandal she has been involve with yet she is still a highly possible person to become our next president. We are still asking ourselves questions like "Why did she delete 30,000 emails from her internet service? Is she trying to hide even more from us? Did she send classified emails through a non-government sponsored server? Is it illegal to conduct a private email account for work purposed as the Secretary of State?" So many questions that are huge factors when deciding on who will be the next president of our country.

Hillary Clinton will most likely be the Democrat nominee. It will be officially announced in July. Bernie Sanders is not ready to accept the fact that it is most likely over for him so he'll just have to wait it out.

These are just one of the cons and they both have many many pros as well. Make sure to educate yourself before making a decision such as contributing to one of the most powerful people in the world!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
