It is Still Going On
It has been almost a month sine the presidential election and the repercussions are still happening. Just recently, Jill Stein-led move to recount voting results in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, Marc Elias, the general counsel for Clinton’s 2016 campaign, signaled on Sunday that he’ll support and participate in any actions taken. Trump has posted to Twiiter about how he feels about the recount. His tweets are a little hostile towards Clinton but whose tweets wouldnt be after your opponent conceded the election. I am just wanting all this to stop. Trump won and that is something we all have to live with. There is nothing we can do about it now. We just have to make the most of it and pray he will keep this country safe by doing the right thing and not be so hostile about it. Go WarHawks!!!

No commentsWho is Tired of Seeing Fake News on Social Media
Most of us have social media and most of us are used to seeing fake news but are you tired of always seeing it. An article on Buzz Machine talks about how we can find out the fake news and how to deal with it. Fake news is a big problem on social media because people are easily swindled into believing everything they see. I’ve known from personal experience, you have to go to secondary sources and if you see it on other credible news sites it is most likely true. If you dont find it anywhere else it is most likely fake and people are just trying to play you. That is the thing with online journalism and news stories, some people just make up stuff knowing they are behind a screen and nobody will know its them. These situations take away credibility from real journalists who put time and effort into their stories and some people just dont believe because they have been tricked before. Just be careful where you read your information because you could be the next person. Go Warhawks!
2 commentsDid Facebook have an Influence on the Election
It has been a long and stressful week for America. As most of you know the Presidential Election ended on Tuesday night (Basically 2am in the morning). The outcome is not what everyone expected especially the people who run Facebook. A article from the New York Times talks about they think and how Facebook had its influence in the election. Facebook has been in the eye of a post-election storm for the last few days, embroiled in accusations that it helped spread misinformation and fake news stories that influenced how the Americans were voting.
I can see where people are coming from because I remember seeing on Facebook that Clinton had this in the bag but that wasn’t the case. For this election, the media has played a bigger deal then ever before. We have Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram and Twitter and these social media sites can influence anyone’s decision. There is nothing we can do now. So, we need to unite as a country and hope for the best.

On Tuesday America Will Change
On Tuesday November 8, 2016 America as we know it will change. The 2016 election will end that night and we will find out who will be president, Clinton or Trump. Ever since we found out who the final two nominees were the polls have gone back and forth. Lately polls have shown Clinton in the lead. An article from the New York Times says the reason for Clinton’s sudden lead is the surge of Latino voters at this moment. Trump has been getting Latino voters as well but not as much as Clinton. Stuff has gone back and forth between them and them comparing who is worse. For me, they both have bad qualities but people deserve second chances. So I feel that this could be their second chance in life.
Do you think these voters could change the outcome of who we thought would be president? I dont know. For me, it could go either way. I just cant wait until this election will be over.
