The Deadliest Tweet
Forget about "the Russian thing" for just a moment. Although the subject matter here is derived from the cloud that revolves around the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election, there is now even bigger cause of concern due to the President's reaction to circumstances he alone is responsible for.

Every other news headline involving President Trump's election has involved murmurs of the alt-right movement. But, on the whole, most people don't seem to fully understand what is the alt-right movement, what they want, or even where they came from. Have you been one of the many wondering "What is the alt-right? You're not alone.

As we strive to bring balance to our history and present situation, it seems some people are having strong reactions. I have been noticing a huge backlash towards feminism, predominantly from men who identify as white, but also from white women.
Krow FischerPublished 7 years ago in The SwampWhy We Should Wait For The "I" Word
It's an interesting time in our country's history. The partisan politics of the Obama years are slowly slipping away, with a new focus on the two parties finally coming together for the good of the country. Except for in one very volatile issue: Impeachment. Some Republicans are calling for Trump to be tried, convicted, and removed from office. Meanwhile Democrats are a little less willing to throw around the "I" word.

On a trip to New Orleans recently, I forayed into the Fair Ground Race Track to visit a past life of mine, a time when I made my living as a Jockey’s agent — a time when I lived off adrenaline and fast horses, but now it was just a slow dance of memories.
Mike BernosPublished 7 years ago in The SwampIs Trump a Cultural-Relativist? What He Inadvertently Revealed During His Speech to Saudi-Arabia
So far, Trump’s Presidency has been “eventful” to put it lightly. Between the avalanche of news and high level of controversy, much of the country has been divided into the “never-Trumpers” and the “Trump can do no wrong” camps. One of many negative side-effects of this emotionally charged cultural divide had been the near eradication of unbiased coverage of this Presidency and his policies. This has resulted in a lack of in-depth analysis of many important events. One of the most significant instances of this has been the coverage of Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia. It appears that bias has blinded most analysts to some major revelations into Trump’s policy for the Middle-East and his ideology in general.
Frank BursesePublished 7 years ago in The Swamp5 Takeaways From Noam Chomsky In this Post-Truth World
We trust you... We trust you not... Image credit : NBC News The term "post-truth" was popularised in 2016 due to its frequent use during the Brexit referendum and US Presidential election. With this term comes an assumption that there was a time where the objective truth was predominant. Although I am not asserting that such an extraordinary time has never existed, I don't believe that it has occurred within the past number of centuries.

I have always opposed US intervention in the Middle East, finding it not only immoral but counterproductive. It obviously makes it probable that United States citizens, both at home and abroad, will be targeted in retaliatory attacks. Remember 9/11 but remember it with introspection and logic rather than emotional reaction. Why did it occur? How? Who were the perpetrators? Where did they come from? Who are their friends in the United States? All not only interesting questions but all too relevant.
Guillermo CalvoPublished 7 years ago in The SwampThe Best Way to Beat a Bully
When I was a teacher, the administration brought in a person to train us about bullying. I remember the trainer saying that, contrary to popular belief, bullies didn't lack self-esteem. They didn't possess an inner self-hatred that inspired their negative behavior toward others. In fact, this trainer said, bullies often possessed a greater sense of self-esteem which led to an increased ability to demean and dominate others.
Dillan DiGiovanniPublished 7 years ago in The SwampDear President Trump...
Dear President Trump, This letter is supposed to begin with “Dear Donald,” but even if you asked me to address you in this way, I would refuse. The office that you occupy demands, in my mind, the very highest level of dignity and respect. That said, I have some concerns about my country that I would like to share with you.
