The Current Politcal State

Some thoughts and reflections on the current situation of our nation

Right now, I think it would be a great time to talk about the current political state of our nation. Despite all the controversies, I still believe President Trump is working very hard as President, putting the interests of the United States first, and most importantly he is making sure we are keeping our jobs here in the United States and not letting any foreign countries take over our jobs and our economy.

Many people may have different opinions than me, but I think we can all agree that we need to secure our borders, stabilize our infrastructure and protect the home front. I feel it is very important to state my opinion, especially since myself and other fellow Republicans are being attacked and brainwashed by liberals and the mainstream media. Before they attack us, they should recall that under the previous administration, the rate of illegal immigration kept soaring until it became a problem, jobs were being taken away and moved to foreign countries like China and Mexico just to name a few. And, attacks on liberty and freedom were on the rise. The Boston Marathon attacks , and the San Bernardino attacks just to name a few. And as President Trump states, and also something that I agree on, the democrats and former President Obama never used the phrase, "radical Islamic terror". And probably the worst part of it all, illegal immigrants kept on coming in and taking the lives of innocent people. This was a result of really, really bad people joining gangs and targeting people. It is disgraceful, horrible and I think President Trump and Attorney General Sessions are both working extremely hard to combat this problem.

These issues are not over yet as President Trump is under investigation and could face impeachment. Every day you turn on the TV or scroll through news articles on your mobile device, there is always a new story in regards to the President. It is my hope and prayer that one day we will be a nation where we will all respect our President. He is a very strong, smart, loyal, and honorable man. He is committing his life for our country every day!

And for those who have a different opinion, the country made it clear who they wanted to lead us back on November 8th, now it is your challenge to come together and assimilate with the rest of us. We are all in this together to as President Trump says, "Make America Great Again"!

The only way things can be accomplished in Washington, D.C. is if there is bipartisanship that enables both political parties to work together and fight for the greater good of the country. The liberals need to learn to grow up, accept reality and stop acting like children. Because, that will not accomplish anything. If, a democrat, like former President Obama, was currently in office, Republicans would not be acting like this at all. That's for sure.

It is also my utmost hope and prayer that President Trump will be cleared in this investigation and he can continue on his promises. It is a real shame that he is being attacked from every angle and he has only been in office for about four months. No other President in history has faced this amount of pressure, hatred and aggravation. Especially to this extreme.

This may sound like a bunch of political talk, but I do not plan on pursing a career in politics. The political world is just way too complex and intense presently. Maybe perhaps down the road, once things settle down. The climate is not a friendly one and there is very little room for mistakes. Most people enjoy being politically correct and perfect. But in reality, there is really no reason for that. We are all human and make mistakes from time to time. No one is perfect, and when I say that, I mean it!

And one last thing, as President Trump says, we need to, "Drain the Swamp"! I think so too, once and for all! There is just too much corruption in Washington, D.C. and we need to fix that!

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.
