'Let's Just Turn a Blind Eye': Hollywood's Insane Double Standard
Hi! How have you all been? I hope you're doing great, and today is a good day for another article! I think it's going to be quite a good one. It came suddenly and I never realized how important this discussion is. Me and my family were anticipating going to our local drive in for the weekend.
'Divide and Conquer' Isn't Just a Phrase...
Does the phrase 'Divide and conquer' mean anything to you? Does it at least sound familiar? I thought as much. When you think about it, what comes to mind? A strategy used by monarchs and presidents alike in the past, but do you still see its effects in modern society. You might not notice it, or might not think of it too much, but we are divided in so many ways, that I can hardly count them. We fight like cats and dogs now more than ever, but why? Why is it so hard for us to get along, make a compromise and meet in the middle. It can be easy, if the right person is in power, but that's not the case in America's society. I have yet to see someone who perfectly listens to both sides of an argument and THEN makes a statement/law. I usually see people who lean more on one side than the other, and that shouldn't be the case at all. Maybe it's just me, but a leader should NOT be biased.

A Talk About Pure Free Market Capitalism
One of the biggest things we constantly hear about is Pure Free Market Capitalism. I thought I would take some time and talk about it. It is believed by mostly conservatives in every country that if Capitalists were free and not weighed down by taxes or regulations or even fees that eventually the world would be a far better place. Resources being used through the direction of the Capitalists would be developed to their fullest potential in the pursuit of maximizing profits. Capitalists would be able through seeking return on investments to improve the overall quality of life. As Capitalists move to fill various niches in order to earn a profit there will be those who answer the various environmental issues as well. In the end the nation will be prosperous and all will benefit greatly enjoying the effects of trickledown.

Hope MartinPublished 10 months ago in The SwampPresident Attacks Rather than Addresses Congress in First State of the Union
February 26th (Washington, D.C.) – A few short weeks after making a request to do so, the President was able to appear before a joint-session of Congress to give a State of the Union address. However, this was a speech unlike any given since becoming formally known by that name in 1947—which coincidently was the first time the speech was broadcast on television. The last President to have a State of the Union during their first year in office was John F. Kennedy—although his successor Lyndon B. Johnson had one after Kennedy was assassinated and Gerald Ford also had one when Richard Nixon resigned. However, according to a Congressional Research Service report (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44770.pdf) on the history of the State of the Union:
