What's Really More Important?

The President of the United States, Donald Trump has put more attention on political oppositions than what he should really be focusing on. Recently NFL football players have began kneeling during the national anthem on national television. On September 25th, 2017, the Washington Post posted an article titled Trump declares Puerto Rico is in 'deep trouble' as questions mount about his commitment expressing the concern the author, John Wagner has towards Trumps' genuineness. Lately, Puerto Rico is in ruins from two back-to-back hurricanes tearing their small island into oblivion. Puerto Rico's electrical system is 100% out. This all occurring while our president has Tweeted more statements on the NFL's protests than about millions of American citizens crying for help. 
Although I consider the reasoning of many professional athletes protests concerning as well. I find citizens at risk of life or death more immediate. This article shows a less bias view than my personal opinion is. It shows both sides of the argument that Wagner is creating. I believe Trump feels threatened by the silent protests of internationally known professional athletes. He is aware that people around the world watch the NFL, and know that people mimic what they see, and seeing these influential players protest may spark concern, or interest in not only the citizens of the US, but around the globe. What would Trump do if people in other countries became aware of our disunited nation? Unity is difficult, and in the current time, seems impossible. On the other side of the argument, just LOOK at how quickly Trump responded to hurricane Irma when it hit Houston. I personally know soldiers who left to aid Houston for thirty days on a mini "deployment". Just weeks after the hurricane hit. Over three-hundred troops were sent to Houston quickly in-order to help. Trump has made at least one statement about Puerto Rico, but is he really concerned, or is it just him attempting to please the nation's concern for Puerto Rico? Let's see how long it takes for our military to respond from today..

Blog Stage Five: Legalization of...

Legalization of... For years the controversy over the legalization of marijuana has been a largely debated topic that's been left on the back burner by the federal government. State governments have began taking the initiative in their laws regarding marijuana. Many states have opted for only legalizing medical marijuana, and some have even gone as far as making marijuana recreationally legal, so why is the federal government not addressing the controversial topic?  Because of the ethical controversy surrounding marijuana studies, we honestly don't know much about the drug itself. However, we've gained a little insight as to what our nation would look like, and what the marijuana industry could do for our economy by seeing what happened in Colorado when the state decided to take a leap of faith in legalization. In 2015 Colorado collected more than $135 million in taxes and fees on medical and recreational marijuana. Sales in North America grew 30%, to $6.7 million,

Blog Stage Seven: The Next Mega Industry in the U.S.

More frequently, the idea of marijuana impacting the United States in a positive manner isn't accepted. Whether it's American citizen's attitudes about recreational, or medical use of marijuana, you rarely hear anything positive associated with the subject. However you feel about the use of marijuana, there's no denying the positive effects that the industry has on job creation in our nation. According to an article by business insider, " A new report from New Frontier Data, a business intelligence firm focused on cannabis, projects legal weed market will create more than a quarter of a million jobs by 2020."  Legal marijuana businesses employed an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 workers in January 2017. California and Colorado, one of the first two states to legalize marijuana have created over 15,000 jobs alone, each. The marijuana industry is expected to bring in $24.5 billion in 2025, based only on the states that have legalized marijuana by 2017. The cu

Blog Stage Eight: Comment on a Colleague's Work #2

I agree that Trump could, in fact be a large reason former Republicans consider themselves independent. In my personal opinion he is a JOKE. When I first saw different promotions for, " Trump for President " I genuinely didn't take it seriously. Soon after I realized the reality that Donald Trump, a man who was on a reality television show was the president of the United States I was deeply disappointed in my nation.
