Before I remembered that this last post was to be a reflection and not a real post, I had some ideas in my mind about topics to blog about. Chinese concentration camps and the lack of action against them, the legal battle that is being waged in the White House, Ivanka's emails... when you think … Continue reading There’s Always Worse in Politics

The Politics of Death
As most of us know, 41st President George H.W. Bush passed away this week. I don't know much about him aside from major policy issues he enacted as president, and I think it's safe to assume a majority of people my age can say the same. Thus, I was genuinely shocked at the way people … Continue reading The Politics of Death
The Politics of Thanksgiving
Being home from school is truly heaven-- I woke up at 11 this morning, ate a nice breakfast cooked by my dad, and got right back into bed afterwards. As I scrolled through all my social medias, I couldn't help but notice how excited everyone was for Thanksgiving. From memes about going on "walks" with … Continue reading The Politics of Thanksgiving
Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer
This week's worst political development is the fact that Texas elected TED CRUZ for another term as Senator instead of Beto O'Rourke (58.9%- 48.3%). As you might have guessed from my choice of title, I don't like Cruz at all and I'm therefore baffled by Texas' decision. In a nutshell, his views on important matters are … Continue reading Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer

On October 24th, a gunman attempted to enter a predominantly black church in Kentucky, found that the doors were locked, and decided instead to kill the two closest black people he could find in a grocery store nearby. During the attack, he told a white bystander, "Don’t shoot me. I won’t shoot you. Whites don’t … Continue reading Homegrown Terrorism
The War on Journalism
On October 2nd, Jamal Khashoggi entered the Saudi Arabian consulate in Turkey and never left. Khashoggi was a journalist who was openly critical of the Saudi Arabian government and royal family; in a climate where few dared to speak out against Saudi policies, Khashoggi chose to be brave in his journalistic endeavors. It has been … Continue reading The War on Journalism
Germany Never Forgets
In history, Germany has been an undeniably problematic country; the Holocaust serves as an example of what happens when attitudes of racism and xenophobia culminate in a society. Since the Holocaust, there has been a perceivable cultural change in Germany. The country is aware of its past and today has a zero tolerance policy against … Continue reading Germany Never Forgets

Supreme Court Rapist?
Brett Kavanaugh is President Trump's Supreme Court nominee who has recently been accused of sexual assault by three women. I feel that it's wrong to make any assumptions about Kavanaugh's guilt given that I live in a country built upon concepts like "innocent until proven guilty" and the right to a trial; however, I think … Continue reading Supreme Court Rapist?
