    "In politics and in life, ignorance is not a virtue," he told the more than 12,000 graduates in New Brunswick, New Jersey. "It's not cool to not know what you're talking about. That's not keeping it real or telling it like it is. That's not challenging political correctness.

Trump dredging up 1990s attacks against the Clintons - 0 views

  •  
    The presumptive Republican nominee is reintroducing Americans to a panoply of dormant scandals, personal transgressions and partisan controversies that rocked Bill Clinton's White House and first lady Hillary Clinton in two turbulent presidential terms leading up to the end of the 20th Century.
  •  
    I feel that Trump is only doing this to make it harder for Hillary to win the republican party. He wants to split up the Republican votes between both canidates.

  •  
    "Top Senate Republicans closed the door Tuesday to the possibility of confirming Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland in a post-election lame duck session -- even if Hillary Clinton wins the White House -- reiterating their long-held position that a new president should pick someone to fill the vacancy on the high court."
  •  
    On Wednesday, the liberal group MoveOn.Org is holding a Washington press conference with a group of Iowans who will say they are disappointed with Grassley's handling of the Garland nomination. Also, the Center for American Politics, a Democratic group, will release a report critical of Grassley's stewardship of the Judiciary Committee.

    I think it is ridiculous how Trump rallies come to such violence and in some cases Donald Trump even supports the violence by saying in one of his rallies that is someone says something negative about him to throw a tomato at them.

A city's plan to fight heroin by allowing it - 2 views

  •  
    Suffering from the drug epidemic isn't what sets Ithaca apart. It's how their mayor wants to deal with it that makes Ithaca unique. The city is nestled along the southern shores of Lake Cayuga and consistently recognized as a great place to live in United States.
  •  
    There have been other countries who have tried similar approaches and it showed a dramatic drop in violent crime. It might seem risky but the people who are addicted to heroin are using no matter what the laws allow.
  •  
    why would you do that when all thats going to do is make the crime rate over that drug and stuff go down. But yet therewill still be those people who do nothing but the drug and not get a job so there are still to many people relying on the government to take care of them for the rest of their life.

  •  
    I don't know why but I don't think trump winning the race is a good idea
  •  
    I think Trump is doing a good job of getting his name out there and winning votes. I think it is very likely that he will win the nomination. I have no idea who will win the democratic

Trump's new target: Sanders supporters - 4 views

  •  
    The GOP front-runner has ratcheted up his rhetoric against presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in recent weeks, calling her a "crooked" politician who is unqualified to be president. But when it comes to her challenger, Bernie Sanders, Trump has taken a notably softer tone, praising the Vermont senator's rhetoric and encouraging him to launch a third-party bid.
  •  
    I wonder why Trump praises Bernie Sanders? I feel that he wants people to vote for the Vermont senator just so Hillary's run to become the Democratic nominee is not a cake walk.

Bomb threat targets 'Making a Murderer' sheriff - 7 views

  •  
    MANITOWOC, Wis. - Authorities investigated a bomb threat made Wednesday night against the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office and evacuated buildings near the downtown office. The sheriff's office has recently received significant criticism from members of the public for its handling of the investigation of the investigation of the 2005 slaying of photographer Teresa Halbach.
  •  
    I think that the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office should be prepared for the threats from people, because this documentary did take a rather big impact on peoples lives, and probably affected them in many ways. Releasing the documentary is something that should be taken really seriously, and cautiously.

    Hillary Clinton set out 10 months ago to inspire and energize the Democratic Party, hoping to bring together the rising American electorate of black, brown, young and female voters into a durable presidential coalition.
