The Libertarian Revolution

During this election season we have seen many things happen, such as Donald Trump become the Republican nomination, Hillary Clinton being found not guilty by the FBI and another email sent saying the DNC was rigging the primaries to help out Hillary, to the rise of the #feelthebern movement. Now with November only 4 months away a new movement is starting, The Libertarian Revolution. When former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson started his campaign no one thought he stood a chance. At most maybe he would get 2-3% of the vote. Now recently thanks to the fact that America has to choose between two evils, people are realizing “hey we got this guy right here”. Johnson is picking up ground. He is polling at 13 percent overall in the nation. All he needs is 15% and Donald and Hillary will have to deal with Gary Johnson at the debates. Imagine Hillary and Donald just trying to belittle each other and Gary would just be focused on the issues. In this election he is the only candidate who knows what he is talking about. In fact, he is the most qualified candidate severing two terms as governor of New Mexico.

This movement is not going to be a wasted vote for the Libertarians as more voters are starting to see that Gary is an option America can get behind. He is polling at the mid 20’s in 3 states one of them being New Mexico. If these numbers improve he may stand a chance to win 3 states, something that a third party candidate hasn’t done since Teddy Roosevelt did in the election of 1912. And with winning states, that will end the two party system in America and now bring the light of a new party to voters. However, this revolution cannot die down. We need everyone to pitch in. Let your voice be heard this November. Don’t throw your vote away with Trump or Clinton, send a message to the two party system by helping fuel the Libertarian Revolution.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
