From one of my colleague name Chas Wright
post an argument on Thursday, June 30, 2016 about U.S. Government is banningthe transgender from the services member serving in the U.S. armed forces. This
mean Government is banning all the transgender soldiers that they could not
stay in armed forces anymore. President Obama came with a campaign for this
issue called “Don’t ask, Don’t tell.” It was suddenly happened from nowhere. My
colleague agrees with the government and said he is happy about this. However,
I have different perspectives from my colleague. There will be no right reason
to government to ban transgender. I mean where is right for transgender? They do
not have right to do because of they are transgender? It is not right for
government to banning because transgender does not give actual bad influence in
U.S. armed forces. We can easily know how hard transgender served in U.S. armed
forces. According to the article that I found for the addition information, TheWilliams Institute, the rate shows that transgender serving in U.S. armed
forces are approximately 150,000. 150,000 are not a small numbers and it is a
high rate of transgender is serving for country. Even the normal people do not
want to serve, how can government wants to ban the people who really want to
serve and show respect on country. It is totally wrong thing and transgender
have their own right to claim that they can actually serve for this country.

Texas Being Independence Nation
America is the biggest nation in the world. Unlike other countries, America contains 50 states and making those states into one nation is what we call the United States. In the early United States, since they declare independence from England, they tried hard to make other states join and make United State of the nation. However, recently, one of the states is trying to be an independence nation and leave the United States. According to CBS NEWS, recently Texas is trying to be independence nation and collecting votes from Texas people. People are calling about this issue as a Texit. Texas is getting exit is what Texit mean. The issue about Texas trying to be independence nation happened few years ago. In 2014, 12 million people vote for agreeing Texas becoming independence nation. However, Supreme Court rejects the votes and thought about being independence because Supreme Court thought it was violating the constitution.
The one reason Texas wants to be in Texit is that they do not want to follow federal government and constitution. In my opinion, Texas should not try to be independence nation. Every other state has to deal with the constitution and the federal government. Texas is the most important and huge state from America and helps America a lot. From the article, there is a video that one man said that “No one knows we're even here," and pointing California and New York and saying that “these two states are all for America, not us.” However, that is not true. In a great economic power rank, Texas is in the rank above ten in the world. Texas is having huge power in World. If Texas just get out from the United States and become independence nation, it will give huge bad influence to the United States economic system. Texas is giving huge benefit in this nation. Texas cannot just be independence nation. This is not a good thing for Texas and for the United States. U.S. cannot lose the best state in the nation and it will give huge flaw.

Make People to Participate More in Election Day
On Monday, June 20, 2016, one of my
classmate name Rebecca Choi came out with an argument about changing theElection Day. I strongly agree with Rebecca's opinion. There will be an
upcoming big event on November 08, which is Presidential Election. Election Day
is one of the most important days for people to showing their responsibility as
a citizen. However, according to the article from QUARTZ, 58 countries had a
better voter turnout than the United States. In 2008, 57.5 percent of American
cast in the presidential election. The rate of voter turnout in U.S. is
decreasing as times goes by. American citizens have to take care this issue as
a serious thing. This mean lot of people is not doing their responsibility as a
citizen. As Rebecca argued, it is better to avoid the Election Day on a weekday
and change it to a weekend. If American people do not want to vote for many
reasons like they do not care about political things or them have no time for
voting in weekday, government has to change everything that they can make as
possible as people to vote like changing the day into weekend or expand more
days for voting because government cannot force people to vote or make Election
Days as an obligatory things. So government needs to do whatever they can to
make people become comfortable to vote. However, there is wrong information in
Rebecca’s argument. From Rebecca’s blog, she stated that the reason people are
not voting is because the Election Day is on Tuesday during a weekday and she
said except the United States, all other democratic country votes in a weekend.
In fact, lots of democratic countries’ Election Day are on a weekday too. For
example, South Korea’s next Election Day will be on December 20, 2017, which is
Wednesday. This means that America cannot blame their turnout rate is low
because their Election Day is on a weekday, but changing into the weekend will
definitely make people more comfortable to vote. It is our own responsibility
to vote as a citizen, but a country can make better and comfortable way for us
to participate in the important country event.

Are We Letting Donald Trump to be President? My Answer is No.
Recently, American experienced tragic
homicide in Orlando, Florida. From this homicide, the GOP’s standard-bearer,
Donald Trump shows what kind of person he is by his response. The Associate
Politics Editor name Sam Levine posts a political argument describing Trump’s
response as a downright horrific in The Huffington Post. Before I state my
opinion, the reason I am posting this in my blog is to tell we should not vote
for Donald Trump and telling why. Donald Trump is immature, toxic, racist, and
maniac person. Usually, if there is a tragic issue appears like Orlando,
America’s politician put their politic aside and come together to show their
strength and unity. What Donald Trump did was way opposite. He first blame
current president and call him as a terrorist and man
that either is not tough, not smart, or he’s got something else in mind. In
my own view, president is the leader that sacrifices his or herself to country,
love their country and people, and serve as responsibility. However, Trump who
called his current country leader as terrorist will never going to show respect
to America or serve country for people.
While democrats and republicans try to
figure what is best for America like reinforce security, Donald Trump wanted to
suspend immigration that “from areas of the world there
is a proven history of terrorism against the United States.” Is this some kind
of joke? His tendentious decision is not for country’s future, it is just want
he want to do. His action show what he will do for this country as president in
future. Every decision he make for this country will not for making country
better but only for his good.
Trump blame about President
Obama’s speech that he should mention about ‘radical Islamic terrorist’ but he
did not. President Obama responses about this comment as what exactly would it
change calling like. Isn’t this wise decision that president should decide? Just
calling them more rough words will not change anything except making terrorist
feel bad. President has to be the wisest man in the country. President should
know that his words or decision will not only affect him but also to entire nation.
Trump just throw his words randomly and not thinking about what is best.
According to the
commentary, same Republican like Trump many of whom had endorsed him suddenly
did not want to talk about Trump’s reaction or behavior. He is already making
his own side to turning against him.
Donald Trump is violating the
entire basic standard to being leader of one country. He is liar, immature,
toxic, and not wise person. All the response Trump did on Orlando affair really
show what kind of person he is. Before the election, this class makes me read
lot of article about politics and it really makes my action as a citizen to do
what is best for the nation.

Donald Trump's Brutality
According to the blog called Little Green
Football, Charles Johnson who is the founder of Little Green Football, posted a
commentary about Donald Trump is implying President Obama as a man who is connected
to the Orlando attack in Little Green Football. According to Charles, America
is currently focusing on one tweet from America candidate name Donald Trump. Donald
Trump seemed to accuse on his tweeter that President Obama of identifying with
radicalized Muslim who occur several terrorist including most recent one with
the Orlando gay nightclub. Trump state that we the citizen in America is led by
a man with not tough, not smart, or got some bad plans in mind. Trump think
President Obama is part of terrorism with ISIS. Trump even asks President Obama
to resign because he did not prevent any of the terrorism. All of this
statement from Charles blog is from the actual Washington post article that
shows credibility to trust. However, Charles state his opinion about Trump’s
behavior as Donald Trump’s recent insanity that appeal directly to the
conspiracy-minded right wing base. I totally agree with his comment. From this
class, I read a lot of political news that I have never read in my life. I thought
it was really good time because presidential election is almost nearby. After I
read several news or articles about Donald Trump, I realize how is possible him
to become candidate. How can candidate mention his own country’s current leader
as a part of terrorist. I choose this blog’s comment because it is easy to see
how Trump is acting right now as a candidate and how he is really insane. This
comment is telling me to think one more time who to vote for election. Charles
state his logic about this year election that we the people in America, are
seeing the mainstreaming of deranged conspiracy theory and racist ideas from
guy now being promoted by the Republican Party’s nominee for president name
Donald Trump. Using Washington posted article, he is stating how unusual
candidate is elected this year. I agree with his logic that Donald Trump is
showing wrong sample of what leader have to be. I even saw article called Trump
is losing the Republican Party that Lincoln has achieved. The biggest reason I choose
this commentary is that it makes me think we the citizen of America should
search carefully and willing to know about what kind of person is our candidate
for future.

Mass Murder in Orlando, Whose Fault is It?
In the
editorial, Mass murder in Orlando is the most recent in a horrific parade of
violence, by The Time Editorial Board; report about Sunday’s tragedy in
Orlando that one Muslim guy killed at least 50 people in night club. Currently
America treats this big issue as terrorism, because it appears this issue was
driven by Islamic extremism and anti-gay sentiment use the gun designed for no
other purpose except killing large number of people in short amount of time.
The reason
why I post this editorial is because I think this is the most interesting and
an unconventional view about Orlando affair. I read numerous articles and
editorials about terrorism in Orlando today, and every article were focusing
same statement that this is obvious terrorism and it is all Muslims fault. However,
only this editorial is focusing on different perspective. The author argues
that nation should not only focus on terrorism but also know our national failure
to address gun control. I agree with this editorial. Of course Orlando affair
is a tragic and sad terrorism that we should know, but we cannot just claim
this is all Muslim fault. In Texas, we have firearm law that person may carry
either open or concealed a shotgun or rifle. This show how easy to handle gun
in America and this law make people to carry gun and maybe to use which cause
more danger. America provides opportunity to make issue about murder using gun.
From the editorial, author post several past murder affair in America for
example last few days at least seven people were killed and five wounded in
shooting around Los Angeles or three people were killed and two wounded in
Panorama City. This kind of affair could happened because people had right to
have gun in legal way.
We are
currently just blaming Muslims which we are treating as a dangerous group whose
hostility to this country can have immediate and terrible consequences, but we
need to realize that it’s not just assailant fault. America itself had to
prevent at the first place with the law to not happen this kind of Orlando affair
or any other murder. If nation do not care about handling firearm, this kind of
affair will happen again.

How Government React about the Biological Threat of Zika Virus
I guess everyone will remember about Ebola
threat that occurred last year. Lot of countries spent a hard time because of
this disease. Currently, bigger threat of the Zika virus is spreading entire
nation on United States. Zika virus is from mosquito transmit this virus to
people’s body and cause serious birth defects, including microcephaly, and give
risk in infants born to mothers. U.S. government realizes that this biological
threat will intimidate people’s health over the nation. So according to NewYork Times, Mr. McConnell, the majority leader, said “ America agree that Zika
virus is a real threat and needs to be addressed.” Last year, House approve to nation
to spend 622 million dollars to fight Ebola. Currently Congress decided to support
1.1 Billion dollars to fight Zika virus and this amount of money shows how
serious Zika virus is treated right now. On Wednesday morning Mr. McConnell said on the
Senate floor that Republican and Democrats worked together to pass a bill here
in the senate. He asks them to cooperate each other’s and actually Senate
Democrats ask Republican to move faster on this issue and treated as priority
issue.
This article is worth reading because during summer, people who usually try to travel and go outside have to recognize this threat. Also people have to know detail what this threat is about and how to beware from Zika virus. I encourage class to read this not only to know we have to be careful but also see that both Democrats and Republican are cooperating to take care the nation problem as hard as they can. Government always treat biological treat or health problem priority things to take care and spend lot of money and times to figure the problem.
