Dogwhistle Attacks

(*a dogwhistle attack is where someone will say something that means nothing to most people, but actually targets a certain group that would understand it.*)

A story that was swallowed up by the Supreme Court news recently was that Eric Trump basically said that Bob Woodward was a money-grubbing Jew. But just not in so many words. Woodward, who helped break the Watergate scandal, recently wrote a scathing book about the Trump White House.

Eric went on Fox and Friends to talk about the book and went on a small rant about Woodward. He said that if someone writes a sensationalized book about Trump then they'll be brought on every talk show before adding, “It will mean you sell three extra books, you make three extra shekels."

Okay, so let me break this down because it's going to sound like a conspiracy theory but it really isn't. The Israeli currency is Shekels and Israel is the homeland of the Jews. Jews are stereotyped as being greedy (for some reason). So if he said that Woodward is a greedy Jew that wanted more money so he wrote a tell all book.

If you doubt me, search “shekels meme" on google image search and let me know when you find something that isn't antisemitic.


White Nationalist endorsements and alt-right Cabinet positions

Steve Bannon: seen here halfway between human and liverspotted slug

Candidate Trump was endorsed by the official newspaper of the KKK, the Crusader, as well as the premiere Alt-Right news website, Breitbart News.

He has also been praised many times by former Klan Grand Wizard and terrible birthday magician, David Duke. Duke said that Charlottesville was because of Trump and that people were rising up to take their country back.

He also employed noted corpse-faced horror, Steve Bannon, before Bannon left last year. Bannon helped create Breitbart and has helped steer the GOP towards the extreme right for years.

Anti-Muslim Ban

On the campaign trail, candidate Trump promised a Muslim ban, calling for, “a complete and total shutdown of Muslims entering the United States." As President, he drew up a ban of Muslim majority countries. Of course, he claimed it was for national security and had nothing to do with religion. That defense, being less solid than his nonexistent border wall, was shot down by a federal judge and had to be redrafted several times before it was approved by the Supreme Court.

Oh and the liberal justices compared the ruling to when America imprisoned Asian Americans during WWII. Little did they know Trump’s Presidency would become later synonymous with the term “baby cages,” huh? Whoops, made myself sad, moving on!

Tweets and hate crimes.

The number of anti Muslim hate crimes in America has reached its highest since 9/11, well, actually higher by some margins. It started to rise a few years ago but spiked after Trump was elected. There’s also evidence to suggest a positive correlation between an anti Muslim tweet by Trump and anti Muslim hate crimes carried out in the week that follows it.

Charlottesville

“Very fine people on both sides.”

In Charlottesville, Virginia, a rally to protest the removal of a Confederate statue was hijacked by a group of White Supremacists and Neo Nazis, who marched in the streets carrying torches and chanting Nazi slogans. One of the White Supremacists drove a car into a crowd of counter protesters, which killed a woman and injured many others.

But Trump didn't condemn really them. He read from a script that condemned the Nazis but immediately went off script to defend them by saying there were “very fine people on both sides."

No there weren't. Anyone who associates with Nazis at a Nazi rally is not a fine person, even if they differ ideologically. They're just a Nazi sympathizer and the White House is no different.

Some of those that burn crosses are the same that hold office, am I right? Ha haaaa this is incredibly concerning.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
