Commentary on "Trump's Jamal Khashoggi reaction sure makes him seem bought and paid for bu Saudi Arbaia"

-
Kurt Bardella, former republican turned democrat, wrote the article published by USA Today titled Trump's Jamal Khashoggi reaction sure makes him seem bought and paid for by Saudi Arabia. Bardella's goal is to point out the flaw in Trump's reactions and actions. It seems that this article is for everyone, the left and the right. It is for the left to reaffirm what we already know, and for the right to hopefully question Trump's actions. Similarly stated in the article, our President has been known to blatantly lie, even if evidence against him is out there. The article reminds the audience of Trump's unfulfilled promise of releasing his tax returns as a way to proof that Trump could easily be hiding financial dealing with countries like Saudi Arabia. Even Trump himself boasts about making money off business deals that have happened in the past with Saudi Arabia, so it does not make it hard to believe Bardella's claim of Trump being bought. Barella's use of multiple examples of Trump brushing aside evidence makes the article seem even more credible. It is interesting to see a former republican calling out our republican President, but it does not seem hard for Bardella to do. What happened that made him switch over to the democrats? Bardella's call to subpoena the Presidents tax returns is not out of line, especially when the President himself promised to do so. Overall the article seemed fair in its goal, even more so with the evidence Bardella provided.

Commentary on "The Year Justice Caught up with Trumpworld"

-
The article written by Michelle Goldberg, The Year Justice Caught up with Trumpworld , was published to the New York Times on December 14, 2018. The article itself is a commentary on how the people surrounding Trump are dropping like flies. The audience intended would be anyone who wants to read about politics or how the Trump Administration is doing. The article is embedded with links through out to back up her claims, as she is basically listing what people like Steve Wynn, Scott Pruitt, and David Sorensen have done, with links to the evidence. I appreciated as a reader how she included the links because in the past I have read articles that I could not find reliable sources for. Michelle Goldberg is also a Pulitzer Prize winner for her work with a team that wrote about work place harassment, so to me her credibility as a reporter is solid. The article made me realize that the Trump administration is actually getting repercussions. Maybe not as many as I would like, but enough that I

The United States should provide a Universal Health Care

-
The United States is one of the only "developed" countries to not have some kind of universal health care implemented for the population, and that needs to change. Americans, as always, hate change. We have always been stuck in our ways, but it is time for us to catch up. One of the biggest arguments against a universal health care system is the price. The United States is already spending up to $10,000 per person yearly.    But when you look at countries that have a universal healthcare system, they are spending almost half as much.  Sure it might take some time, but in the long run we would be saving money if we developed a similar system. If other developed countries have pulled it off, why can we not do it? One of the most common reason people file for bankruptcy in America is because they can not afford medical bills.  Countless families are torn apart every year when medical bills get too high. Our people should have the right of free health care. The rich should no

Our Government needs Gun Control

-
  It seems like there is a shooting everyday day now in our country, and little has been done to prevent it.  People were calling for change for forever, especially after the tragedies like Sandy Hook and the Colorado Movie Theater shootings over five years ago. A full on gun ban is not realistic right now, but certainly gun control should be able to be obtained. People in America hate change, but its not a hard reach to ask for background checks, to push the age to purchase a rifle to 21, to reintroduce mental health regulations into background checks, to push for gun safety courses for every purchase, and to push the ban on assault rifles.   Recently we have had the Pulse Shooting, the Las Vegas shooting, the Sutherland Church shooting, the Parkland High School shooting, the shooting at the Synagogue in Pittsburgh, and most recently the shooting at a bar in Thousand Oaks California. In 2018 alone, more than 12,000 people have died from gun violence. What has our government done to h
