Why the United States should leave the UN

The United States has long been considered the guardians of freedom across the world. One of our first post World War II actions of this was to Join the United Nations which has the goal of preserving peace throughout the world. The UN provides aid to other countries and peacekeepers from member countries to keep peace and provide relief in 3rd world countries. But, the system is extremely flawed. Since the majority of the countries in the world our part of the UN it creates conflicts of interest and many times the UN peacekeepers are not allowed to "keep the peace". For example during the Rwandan genocide peacekeepers were not allowed to make contact with insurgents even though insurgents were shooting at them. If this isn't flawed enough the aid that the UN provides (a majority of it is from the United States) is inadvertently destroying 3rd world economies. When large amounts of food enter a countries economy, the price of domestically created food plummets and people leave jobs in the fields. This cuts the base of the economy off and makes them economically reliant on the UN which halts all progress. The best example of this is Haiti, after the earthquake aid was provided, and now years later their economy is trash.

Why millenials aren't that great

A lot has been made of this upcoming generation being computer literate and very technologically inclined. Being part of this generation I feel that the reliance on computers is making us more dependent on others (reached over the Internet) and the Internet. Millenials have a tendency to vocalise all their concerns on social media such as Twitter but in real life they won't say anything in fear of getting in a fight with someone. The Internet in turn is a safety blanket for many millenials when in generations past people fought for what they believed in. 70 years ago 18 year olds stormed Normandy beach in clouds of Nazi bullets. Now millenials of the same age go to their "safe space" often on the Internet because words hurt.

Donald Trump HIllary Clinton Affair

Donald And Hillary
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, oft seen as political foes and personal enemies, but what if they were lovers? Well, claims have recently come out that these two are in fact lovers in the night-time. A unknown twitter user reported that he saw the two, intimately engaged from the window of a hotel across from the Trump towers in New York City.  @garyjohnsonismypresident was taken down from twitter by the NSA soon after this claim. But the NSA wasn’t fast enough as TMZ soon reported it. An anonymous 4chan /pol/ user put up the comment “I have noticed a large amount of physical tension between the two during the debate”. Following this comment millions of Americans watched re-runs of the presidential debate and were shocked at the way the two controversial candidates were looking at each other. Because of these claims Milena Trump announced that her husband would never do anything like that with Hillary Clinton. Bill Clinton was unavailable for comment on the issue.
The nation's reaction to this is no surprise to us as it is one of repulsion and fascination. The differing political, social, and moral views of the two make it confusing that they would be so attracted to each other. It is hard to believe but if TMZ reports it as fact we as a news organization must give it the benefit of the doubt. The most extreme reaction to this alleged affair is people denouncing their citizenship's and moving to other countries, Canada in particular. But when people arrive in Canada most are denied citizenship.
Some celebrities and political figures gave their reactions to the allegations:
Bernie Sanders “If this is true, I don’t know what can be done about it”
Mitt Romney “ This is why we need a man with good Mormon morals in the white house”
Gary Johnson “ Man I need some weed to handle this mentally”
Sarah Palin “I have seen similar things in Russia which is in my backyard:
Oprah “This is why i’m retired, I hate this country”
Vladimir Putin “ This is absolutely vile, when I heard about this abomination I had to take a long shirtless ride on my horse to ponder my thoughts.”
Kim Jon Un “ This is why my citizens are not allowed access to the internet, I am a man of safety, thinking about this makes me want to nuke my own country.”
Will Ferrell “Why are you asking me this question , I don’t care, yeah its gross so what. Stop harassing me for comment on things that happen. People shouldn’t care what I think. Im an aging actor who really isn’t that funny anymore. Get off my lawn or i'm going to call the police”.

Overall whoever you are, you are not sane if this doesn’t disturb you a little bit. Also this we are all hoping is an elaborate prank on our nation. But we don’t know for sure, and we may never know for sure.

Multitasking assignment

Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jon Un sat in his thrown unappeased at his status in the world. A laughing stock, a joke, a fool. He sits there wondering where he has gone wrong and how he can fix it.
 "You can give the people more rights and step down from power" A senior North Korean officer said.
 Swiftly Kim Jon Un ordered his guards to take the infidel to his comical sized pool of alligators. The senior officer was shredded by prehistoric beasts as the Supreme leader came up with an idea. If he just showed the west his greatness and power he would be revered by millions. He then ordered another officer to fetch him a plane. "Why?" the officer asked.
"I'm going to sky dive over New York city and show the west my greatness" Kim replied sternly.
The officer gave Kim a hesitant look, but didn't say anything else in fear of the alligator pit. The supreme leader asked the officer to grab him a parachute. He did this and the Supreme leader was ready to shock the world. The highest ranking general of Kim Jon Uns military then said what everyone was thinking.
"This is a mistake and you probably don't have the kind of experience to do this"
Kim replied with a scoff and sent the general to a work camp, never to be seen again.
And so Kim Jon Un took flight in his private 747 to do the stunt. He with some sort of miracle got past the United States missile defense system and flew through US airspace with little resistance from radar stations below. When he reached New York he was determined to accomplish something for the first time in his life. So the hatch opened and he leaped out much to the surprise of the other passenger of the plane.
Kim soared through the air free falling down like a rock. But then a buzz went off in his pocket. He reached for it, slowly grabbing his cellular phone. But before he could deploy his parachute he was skewered by the radar antenna on top of the freedom tower. Supreme leader Kim Jon Un rained his body parts over the City of New York. Ironically enough once he hit the freedom tower the people of North Korea were free.

Review of food network

The food network is the channel you watch when your hungry. This is the conduit for your stomachs lebito. Shows such as Diners Drive ins and Dives as well as many others make food an enjoyable experience. The best time to watch the food network is when your hungry and the worst time is when you have recently eaten. When you have recently eaten everything on there seems gross and vile. Overall depending on my level of hunger this is either the best thing or the worst thing.

How old is too old to trick or treat?

The age old question "how old is too old to trick or treat?" is buzzing on many minds this Halloween. If you have to ask yourself said question, you are too old. Nothing is worse than giving candy to drunk and high high school students on Halloween. Its disheartening and slightly disturbing to see a bunch of young adults taking part in such a childish holiday. I personally stopped trick or treating in 3rd grade because I didn't see the pros to it. I'm not saying that 3rd grade is the right time to stop, I’m saying that if you feel stupid doing it or feel you look stupid doing it, then don't do it. But if your in high school, for gods sake, you should be giving out candy and working rather than going door to door in a stupid costume asking for it.

Review of Jay Cutler

Jay Cutler, appearing to have so much potential at the quarterback position, but alas, he looks like a broken player. He throws a dead accurate ball, but he doesn't seem to be into the game of football. He always has that look on his face that someone fed him something rancid. He looks bored playing the quarterback position. Throwing dart that wow you, but picks that show how much he truly doesn't care about his job. Overall I have no doubt he will lose his job by the end of the year and will back up a quarterback with less raw talent by 2017.

Review of peanut butter

Thick and creamy goodness. If chunks are added the peanut butter will be even better. The crispy sweet nutty flavor melts in your mouth as you eat it. But, peanut butter should only be eaten on other things, please refrain from eating it with a spoon. If you make this mistake please make sure you have milk on standby. If no milk is on standby the peanut butter will stick to ever nook and cranny of your mouth and eventually give you peanut breath.

Review of the terrible Adam sandler

Adam saddler is trash. He is a terrible unfunny man. Every year he comes out with new movies with the same cast and all dissapoint everyone with a brain. Sure some of his movies in the past were watchable, but now he is coming out with bad comedies using 5th grade humor. This guy is in his 50s and is making jokes that a 12 year old would call lame. When will we end this madness.

Review of the loyalty of high school students

So this is more of a personal one. I have noticed that there are two types of students and it is quite disheartening. There is a type student that will stand up for what they believe in, no matter the consequences. There also is a student, at the sight of consequences for actions that they know are right will avoid the punishment at all cost. It is a ridiculous when in a country where individualism is supposed to be a notion of pride people wont be civilly disobedient. In this day in age it is disheartening.

Review of 2000 Jeep Cherokee

Review of 2000 Jeep Cherokee
Now this car is my personal car. I love it because of its raw power and reliability. Unlike your average reliable daily driver ie. Honda etc, this car has the capabilities of going off road and doing so without the risk of breaking down. The car is easily able to be lifted and can handle bigger tires. I did this to my cherokee and the lift helps with getting over large rocks while the tires help with stability of the vehicle. The 4 cylinder inline 6 is one of the most reliable engines ever built. This motor was even the one put in the jeep wranglers of the same year. Basically the 2000 jeep cherokee (or any pre 2001 jeep cherokee) is the poor mans jeep wrangler. But, for a fraction of the price you have a jeep wrangler in a unibody frame with more cargo space. There are differences besides the look of jeep wranglers and cherokees. They have can have different motors, (4 cylinder and 6 cylinder). The cherokee has a unibody frame, whilst the wrangler does not. Now if you wanted a cheap, fun, and reliable car, the pre 2001 jeep cherokee is for you.

Review of Gretsch G5120
The Gretsch G5120 is a low end hollowbody guitar made by the guitar company Gretsch. Instead of being made in America like some of their models, this one was produced in Indonesia and the difference is very clear. You can feel the difference and even hear it. The tones on the Gretsch g5120 sound muddy in comparison to that of one of the American ones. Still, because of the Gretsch name, as well as the iconic look which is extremely similar to American ones, this guitar is valuable. Made throughout the 2000s, a new one can range from 800-1000 and a used one in decent condition can run for 500-700. Overall this is something you buy for your wall not to play.

Today I will be reviewing the Saab 9-3. The Saab 9-3 was a luxury sports car made in Sweden in the 2000s. The particular one I drove was a 2007 with a convertable top and a turbo in the motor. At first glance the car is cool to look at with the waxed black paintjob and the tan full leather interior.The hydraulic soft top is icing on the cake because of how reliable and easy it is. However the motor felt weak and the turbo felt like it wasn't even there. So this would be the car you want for looks, not performance.

1965 Decca Tulip

Review of a 1965 Decca Tulip guitar
The 1965 Decca Tulip was originally made by the Teisco Guitar company in Japan. This one I personally own and restored. I bought it basically destroyed after 30 years of sitting in some guys attic. I needed to replace the tuning knobs and dress the frets. I had a professional luthier do the work and get the parts. The truss rod in the neck of the guitar was warped so I had the neck heated to straighten it out. Once the strings were put on it was playable. At first glance it has a funky design with three pickups and individual pickup selectors and tone knobs for each. The play ability of it is off the chart because of its low action and light strings. The sound it emmitts varies on the pickups and whether or not a sustain switch is on. The clean tones when there is no interference sound incredible while the distorted tone are also good. Overall a pretty great guitar with a few grounding flaws.
