The Biggest Mistake This Country Has Ever Made

President Trump has just made a claim that the American justice system is "A Laughingstock" and "A Joke", because the trials for a terrorist Sayfullo Saipov (The man responsible for the attacks in New York) were too long and didn't give harsh enough punishments. He claimed that there was something wrong with our federal justice system because criminals who are obviously guilty are allowed to stay alive.
What is going on here?
My opinion (although I know that some of you will probably disagree) is that the biggest mistake that our government made is letting President Trump into office. Ever since he was elected- and even during the election season- he has been working only to further his own self-interests. He was working with the Russian government during the election, he has a number of women going to court against him for sexual harassment, and he has removed that vast majority of former President Obama's appointed staff and replaced them with men who will always stand by him on every issue. His advisors have to put his name in each paragraph of each document he is given, because otherwise he will not read them all through. 
I think that the two main candidates we were given for this election were both equally bad choices for the country in different ways. I think that had Hillary Clinton won, I would be writing an equally remorseful post on what I think she is doing wrong. I deeply hope that next election the country will have learned its lesson and will find a candidate who will work for the good of the country.

Right To Vote vs Student Debt.... Which One?

As the title suggests, the article that I found most interesting is from the blog, Splinter, and it addresses the question of student debt (The article URL is below). I know that as a high school student going into college in a few years, this will affect me almost immediately; and I suspect that quite a few of you are going to also be facing this or are facing this now. The question of student debt is something that is talked about a lot, especially in college. The article itself is fairly self-explanatory, and I don't want to explain the article here, so I will leave with the comment that we as students should not be made to suffer because of the instability of the economy. What do you think? http://splinternews.com/how-much-would-you-sell-your-right-to-vote-for-1814591633

This is in response to Julianna Winter's blog assignment, "Let's All Fight, Buy War Bonds" . Dear Juliana, You are absolutely correct. These days we get huge headlines with big, life-changing news about huge problems or famous power couples-- stories that are mostly apocryphal. For example, after Hurricane Harvey, there was a huge to-do because HEB ran out of gas at their gas stations. Everyone was terrified that the hurricane had knocked out the gas lines, and gas prices were through the roof. The news was up in arms about the gas shortage in the state, while in reality it was simply HEB getting more customers because of all the people who were forced to evacuate. That is only one of the examples. You can go looking through any magazine or newspaper and find some level of fanciful journalism. The world sees these stories and believes them, because they don't know any better and don't choose to find out. If we are going to be ignorant of the fa...
