Go to the Dinner!

Here is my take on the recent news that Trump has decided to skip the Correspondents' Dinner: change your course and go to it!

Puppet Strings

Unless you are someone who has absolutely zero interest in politics you probably have noticed the tight control of responses coming from the Trump administration within his first month in control.  Whether it is Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer, or Stephen Miller there is an unwavering theme that goes through the visible representatives of the Trump truck and that is the irrational concept that the media (with the exceptions of Fox News and Breitbart) are fake/wrong/un-American and that the President's authority and "wisdom" is trustworthy to the point that we shouldn't question his motives.

The Immigration Game

When thinking about this ban of refugees from seven Middle Eastern countries you have to take into account different factors in concerns to the legalities as well as the impact that it will have on the United States as well as the world.

Before any person that slams this article for thinking that Trump is the only President that is doing something like this, just let it be known that further down in the article there will be other examples.

The biggest concern about this piece of executive legislation is what it can lead to, but at the current moment it is two sides of the same coin; one of optimism and one of serious concern.

Has History Taught Us Nothing?

I can not easily put into words the way I feel about the things our President has done in the last week. Hearing that he wants to ban refugees and Muslims makes me want to cry. My grandparents were immigrants, my boyfriend is an immigrant and nearly every person in this country can trace their ancestry back to the generation that came to this country. Not only is trying to do this severely un-American and not in keeping with a long tradition of immigrants coming to our country, it is just down right wrong!
