Donald Trump and his Journey to Mislead the People.

 On Sily Trump (classmate's post)

I agree with what classmate has said, and other than Southern wall plan, Trump also said mistakenly or intentionally about another foreign nations. For example, South Korea, he had said on and off about U.S. army helping to protect South Korea against North Korea, "We have 25,000 soldiers over there protecting them. They don't pay us. Why don't they pay us?". In fact, $700 million has been paid for personnel, logistics, and construction costs. "We get practically nothing compared to the cost.", I do not know what exactly he wants out of stationing the military, if he is talking about benefits and salaries for the troops or their equipment. What is certain is that the U.S. also benefits from strategic level to keep east coast a balance to keep an army. Also, the U.S. army protects the countries that buy U.S. products. Trump's absurd remarks makes the other nations laugh at him while he says nothing about truth, facts, and their logical reasons.

Give us the Vote, Republicans.

"Republicans and Voter Suppression." The New York Times, 04 Apr. 2016. Web. 05 Apr. 2016.   

      Republican Voters from particular district in  Texas became a wide-issue of voter suppression. Other than people from higher income or middle class, the voters especially Latinos from the less concentrated vote district shows the low vote rates. It is said that the Ttexas government has changes for Latinos to vote equally has been overlooked at by Republican lawmakers. It is upsetting situation where minorities, students and the poor population has no power who are mostly made up of democratic.

      

      There is a lot of problems with the process or progress to make better life for the people of minorities. A good example from Wisconsin, the Republican-controlled party attempted to pass the law of state's voter-identification bill, when the minorities do not carry the ID, it is no effective for them to have vote power. When the problem was pointed by some, but both supreme court declined that appeal and no funding was given to make that change for nonpartisan Government Accountability Board and it was already dismantled by a governor Walker who is Wisconsin Republican governor. The author was claiming suppressing the voter is against American basic right which is freedom of right to vote.
