The Election And What This Means For America

We are living in a historical moment as we approach what would seem to be a monumental collapse of the United States and the entrance into WWIII

The Election And What This Means For America
The Federalist

As we progress into a new era of society, we see the election of Donald Trump, riots and protests ensuing, and various other radical situations and ideas. Keeping in mind what a president and a leader should be, it was clear that the opposing candidate, namely Hillary Clinton, did not seem to fit the role of a leader of such a powerful nation. However, whether you’re happy with him being the president-elect or you’re horrified, this is not the time for panic and crisis. This is a time for hope and peace.

Unfortunately, it takes two parties to develop peace, but it only takes one side to start a war. Slowly but surely, Trump is submitting his plans for his first years as president, and to be frank, they’re more liberal than most people would think. This should be shocking because we saw a man stand up and speak to the people, say terrible things, accused of rape, a racist, a bigot, and everything else under the sun. You may be surprised that most of these assumptions of who he is as a person came from the endorsements that he received during his campaign from people that marginalize women, members of various ethnicity, and members of the LGBTQIA+. Thus, giving the people of the United States this perception.

Is Donald J. Trump the most morally sound individual? Probably not. But, neither is Hillary Clinton.

She’s been called a liar, a cheater, and a woman who believes that you need a private persona and a political persona. To be honest, I believe she has no idea what policies and ideals she stands by. Am I appalled by the outcome of the election? No. I said it from the moment Donald J. Trump announced that he would be running for president, and that is he would be the next President of the United States. For those that believe he is a tyrant incapable of running a country, I ask you to think about how Hillary would attempt to run this country. I say attempt because ultimately she would have led us onto a downward spiral. In fact, Putin had plans of invading Syria the day after the election if Hillary was elected president.

Yes, we are on the verge of another world war. Why? There are many reasons. Mainly, it is for the control of oil because that is what the monetary value in which the dollar is tied.

Back in the Vietnam era, the dollar was tied to gold and switched over to oil, which ultimately caused the Vietnam war. If you do a history check from the events leading up to the Vietnam war and compare those events to the recent events beginning in 2000, you will see many similarities. There is a reason we know exactly where ISIS is and why we continuously kill the new leaders that rise to power. So, I leave you with this: To protest Donald Trump as President of the United States, is to say that you are endorsing another world war. Before you offer your opinion or call me all the names you can think of, I want you to seek historical knowledge and realize the state that we are in currently. There is a reason Obama almost called for a state of emergency, and this is it.

Donald J. Trump is our 45th President of the United States, and yes he is your president. He has a duty to fight for the people of this country and protect its citizens. He will do just that. The allies for the potential world war, which you may not know, are China and Russia. However, with the foreign relations that Trump has with both of those countries, the act for Russia to invade Syria was halted. Finally, I want you all to share this with your friends because this is information and things that may not be entirely apparent. People need to know these things to feel content with Donald Trump as president. History cannot erase itself and history will repeat itself unless we, as a country, learn from our mistakes. Thank you.

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.
