The Washington Post put out an article on February 7th in regards to Democrat Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. In this article Elizabeth Warren is rebuked by the Senate Republicans in a party-line rebuke. This action came at the accusation of Warren impugning Senator Session's character. Warren came to speak on a speech written by the wife of slain Civil Rights activist Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King in referencing controversial prosecutions in Alabama when Sessions served as the U.S. Attorney. In a rare move by the majority leader Mitch McConnell interrupted Warren during her speech claiming it was impugning the character of Attorney General Nominee Jeff Sessions and breaking the Senate rules. Social media and other senators show their support to Warren while she finishes her speech during a Facebook live post to show she and the Democratic party will not be silenced

The reason I think this is a good read is because this woman was shut down for reading a speech. Not just a regular speech, but by the late Coretta Scott King on her accounts with Sessions. This article shows that the senate is getting hostile to protect our now residing president. Another reason is to show how divided the house really is.

Minds Thinking Alike

After reading the  Politically Correct-ish  blog from my fellow colleges I saw that we share the same views on the Trump Administration and his views on energy and Global Warming. I fully agreed with the fact that Trump and his administration are acting upon "say so" instead of the hard facts that are present. Scientist have been saying since the 80's that the environment is starting to go. To have a president that does not see this a top priority seems a bit scary in my opinion. It also shows where is head is at. He seems to keep shying away from the science and actual government of it all. I would credit this because he is not an actual politician.

Republicans: The New Red Scare

Today it seems as though the Republican Political party has taken over not only The White House, but also the courts, congress, and media. It seems that everything that is bright and good in the world is trying to be taken away by the "conservative" and "self righteous" Republican party. For the individuals who find themselves representing the Republican party this is not a post saying "Every Republican that supports Donald Trump is evil." This is not true. I have met people who side with the Republican party who are perfectly fine and do oppose some views that the Republican party has sided with. My argument is that the Republican party is causing more bad than good. The Republican party has a certain stereotype that they are living up to very well. One big stereotype is that Republicans hate they LGBT community. It can be argued that the part in question feel indifferent towards the community. With articles from  The New York Times  stating that our ow

You can put lipstick on a pig, but.....

After reading an article by the New York Times entitled " Don't Be Fooled, Trump's New Muslim Ban Is Still Illegal " I have definitely learned more about this new ban that is arising from our nations capitol. What Farhana Khera and Johnathan Smith are saying speaks true to many more people than the intended audience, which I think is for the people who know that this ban is wrong. That can range from male to females of all age groups. Frankly anyone with a conscious. Specifically I think it is aimed towards the people who are not too big of fans of the new President Elect, and people who support the freedoms that the United States used to represent.  As far as credibility goes Farhana Khera is the president and executive director of Muslim Advocates, where Johnathan Smith is the legal director. Farhana has her wits about her and she knows what she is talking about especially when it comes the well being of the Muslim people being treated the way they are. The author
