Let's Make America Whole Again


I began writing this days after the election as I was so distraught over the election results.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Preamble of the United States Constitution(1787)

breathe. all will be well is what everyone keeps telling the crying children of immigrant parents, the people of LGBQT communities, african americans, and anyone that cares about these groups of people. why are so many people so distraught? `As of Wednesday morning November 9, 2016, donald trump was announced the next president of the United States of America. Granted, he won't officially be the president until January 20, 2017. BUT he still resides as the next president until 2020.

some keep saying at this point what's to be done, "let's keep on keeping on". No. let's not. let's contemplate what America just did and how this could have happened.

donald john trump is 70 years old. He was born In New York City in 1946. He grew up in an upper-class family. He got his bachelor's in economics. His father "gave him a small loan of a million dollars". He is a business man, a hollwyood star, and producer... but nowhere in his resume does he provide the qualifications to run a country or even be in politics at all. He announced he would run for the presidency June 2015. Still early enough in the election process, the Republican party had many runners for the presidency. One by one many began to drop out of the race within the following year. By July 2016 the only two candidates left were donald trump and Hillary Clinton. donald trump was endorsed by the Republican party while hillary Clinton was endorsed by the democratic party.

Now, July 2017, I reflect on the seven months of this man's presidency. Has he fulfilled his promises? Has he stopped tweeting non comprehensive tweets?(yes the president tweets when he's angry how childish) Does he still believe in "Fake News"? Yes, you CNN. Well this what I've gathered through numerous articles and news stories(some even by the famous "Fake News" CNN. He has fulfilled some of his campaign promises. Depending on how you feel about him that could be good or bad. His tweets are still misogynistic and offensive.




This was tweeted in May!! The audacity the president has to call out credible news castors and news sites as "Fake News". its disgusting.

Donald Trump can not be allowed to run for another term. As a country, we the people owe it to ourselves to do better.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
