I believe this article is a good look at what a confirmation bias is. I took a few moments to look up the author. He has authored four books, three of which are about the Clinton family. However desperate the situation may be, I don't believe this article really hit the nail on the head. I am sure I am guilty of this as well however with my own articles, at least one of them. It is really hard to perform research without searching for information that supports a claim. All of that is my opinion. HOWEVER, this is what I would assume to be a Primary Source. Albeit does not have the appropriate domain names, I do believe this would fit the bill for many an argumentative literary pieces. In that regard Kuddos my friend. Great read, and even greater discussion!

This article describes President Trumps ban on immigration. It describes that President Trump put a temporary ban on seven Muslim countries. Not only are Muslims not allowed to enter the U.S. but U.S. citizens are not allowed to re-enter the United states from those 7 Muslim countries.

This whole scenario is mind-blowing and shows what kind of person he is. How can he sit there and deny U.S CITIZENS re-entry to their country?! Makes me sick how intolerant some people still are. I think about the world my daughters will have to grow up in and it scares me.

Not trying to be rude or anything but Trump is obviously not try to have people actually like him as the new president. To ban people who have green cards from re-enrtering the U.S is very wrong.

A view that Trump is going against the Constitution and being Un-American by restricting Muslim immigration into America. States that it goes against our heritage and history and should be opposed, because there are no facts to back up that it would increase terrorism.

This study from the Pew Research Center shows an astounding number of people in the American public admitting to being a witness to discrimination against Muslims. This shows the awareness of discrimination in the United states of America despite what some may think of what the dominant views are.

An article on the status of women in Islam emphasizing different aspects of life and what obligations a Muslim woman has. Obligations toward her husband as a wife obligations toward the society as well as religious obligations.

I am sorry to say that, this article is full of religious dogma that, in part attempts to justify the historic and continued mistreatment of women.

This article breaks down the executive order signed by President Trump on banning refugees from middle eastern countries. It also talks about what we haven't found out about the order itself like if airports are complying with the order.

Immigration is a very sensitive topic in the current political climate. There are many benefits to this executive order, and many consequences. National Security is something that out-scopes us all in my opinion, but staying as close to the information power curve as possible with sound sources is a great place to start. I would however question the validity of the NYT (New York Times), only on the grounds of ill reporting. Following the presidential election, the NYT issued an apology for misreporting the polls during the election. I am of the opinion that when dealing with such an emotionally fueled topic, Primary Sources are the only sources that yield direct information. Perhaps you could have sited an administration member or even an analytical specialist assessing the direct executive order. In the end however, I am not the instructor. Great topic!
