We're missing the bigger picture here.

Okay FBI, But What About Hillary's Spam Emails?
Daily Signal

There’s been a hubbub surrounding FBI Director James Comey’s recommendation not to charge Hillary Clinton for her email shenanigans. Less of a hubbub actually and more of a cacophonous explosion of discontent striking waves across all reaches of the internet. The people are virtually rioting. In the virtual streets. The uproar is understandable, but I fear it has overshadowed the more important issue: sure, Hillary may have dealt less than admirably with her classified emails, but what about her spam?

We’ve all been so blinded by the “top secret” and “highly classified” that nobody is asking the big questions: has Hillary Clinton ever had the opportunity to claim a free iPad 2? How many trips to Barbados has she stumbled upon by blind luck? What exactly is the nature of her relationship with the Nigerian royal family?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m just as concerned about the security of military operations and international decisions as the next guy, but I’m understandably more worried about whether or not Hillary has renewed her subscription, or whether she would like to. You know the one

Sure, I get it, it’s hip to yell about government corruption and distrust, but am I seriously the only one who wants to know if Secretary Clinton is interested in penile enlargement pills? Or if she’s considered methods to slim down her belly fat in three short steps? My fear is that the media buzz has halted the American public’s ability to focus on the issues that really matter here.

At the end of the day, who cares about Clinton’s handling of national security issues when she could have found single Asian women within 11 miles? There’s a natural prioritizing that has been entirely neglected in this instance, which I see as just one more way the establishment is seeking to suppress public awareness. It is our right as U.S. citizens to stand up and demand our right to know which webcam sites have been soliciting the former Secretary of State.

And for all those of you who believed Senator Bernie Sanders was our white knight in the fight against corporate government oppression, I’m afraid I have sad news. “Sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails,” eh? Sounds an awful lot like a pitiful ploy at distraction from Hillary’s lucky winner status. That’s right, I’m afraid our friend from Vermont was nothing more than another plant to hide Hillary’s attempts to erase her debts completely with no future payments.

If it’s a political revolution you want, speak out for what really matters. Demand to see the spam. Don’t settle for a farce of irresponsibility and national endangerment. After all, no reasonable prosecutor would be concerned by any of that, so why should we? Instead, let’s tackle the tough matters at hand. I mean, if we don’t know Hillary Clinton’s one weird trick to gain three inches, we may as well toss our whole political process in the trash.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
