What A Donald Trump Cabinet Really Looks Like
Wall Street Journal

This article will not be an opinion piece. While I have a million things to say about this man, and his policies, my words will not change the hearts of anyone. What I do hope to accomplish is to open the eyes of those who may not know the true extent of a country under President-Elect Trump. The following proposed Cabinet members come from Politico.com, and unbiased political website designed to track Presidential Elections. All information regarding the cabinet members individually was obtained from OnTheIssues.org, and unbiased fact-based website stating where law-makers stand on various issues.

Attorney General

Senator Jeff Sessions

Director of the CIA

Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo

Now, let's take a moment to discuss the policies of these two men.

Firstly is Jeff Sessions. Jeff Sessions is widely known for his disapproval of abortions. He has voted 100% pro-life on all issues relating to them. He is adamant on the public dis-funding of abortion clinics such as Planned Parenthood. Now let's talk about Civil Rights, you know, that thing all of us want? Basic human rights? Respect and dignity? Sessions voted NO on the re-authorization of the Violence Against Women Act. According to whitehouse.gov, "This landmark federal legislation’s comprehensive approach to violence against women combined tough new provisions to hold offenders accountable with programs to provide services for the victims of such violence". Basically, it is a resource for women who have been assaulted, and a way to hold the assaulter accountable. He voted against this. Now this is the one that really tells me what kind of a man he is. Sessions voted NO on adding sexual orientation to the definition of a hate crime. In other words, if you are assaulted because you are gay, it does not count as a hate crime because-hey- you just shouldn't be gay, problem solved. Basically, if you're a woman, minority, or homosexual, this man will not fight for your rights. If you are a white man, congratulations, you're in the clear.

Now let's discuss Mike Pompeo. Pompeo has very similar views on abortions as Sessions, having voted similarly. Now in addition to what Sessions has voted, Pompeo believes and voted that the state definition of marriage (a man and a woman and ONLY a man and a woman) should overrule the federal, thereby making gay marriage illegal. Let's talk about education for a moment. This man believes that schools should be paid extra- $110M per year to be exact- to teach nothing but abstinence in schools. This is actually the worst possible way to protect kids from getting pregnant, and God knows under this man's rule that can't get an abortion once they do. Teaching kids to just NOT DO IT is how we end up with so many confused, pregnant teenagers. If you do not educate kids on how to be safe, they will continue to have sex, and do so in an unsafe manner.

Keep in mind no cabinet members are set in stone yet. These are all speculation. But this is what a cabinet under Donald Trump looks like.

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.
