US Government and History

Hello and Welcome. I am going to share my first blog on the topic of the Mueller Report and what I have gathered so far from the internet on the impeachment hearing. The Mueller probe is a large booklet of gathered data investigating the actions of Donald Trump and his campaign advisors before they cheated their way into the oval office. Did you know, that 3 Presidents in our bright and beautiful country's history have CHEATED their way to become president but only one has been impeached from office? First Nixon at Watergate, then Bush Jr. when he ran against Gore. They found electoral ballots of Gore's in a trash can in Florida. Then, Donald Trump. What's really interesting to me though is that of all the Presidents who did that in our nation's history, the three consistently belonged to the same party- The Republican party! With the investigation catching steam and the FBI now involved, this is not just an issue involving the Democrats anymore, the entire country is...

In 1796, in George Washington's famous Farewell Address, he reminds Americans not to get involved in foreign affairs. As time went on America became involved in the UN Committee, countries started making weapons of mass destruction, and we needed a way to have a clear line of communication with other countries and so on and so forth...we have come a long way since then, times have changed and a lot of the time we don't really follow that sound word of advice in history as much. Now the first person I wanted to talk about, Teddy Roosevelt; is known through out American history as a successful military leader who valued American ideals and overcame strife at an early age. We often remember him for that saying, "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." Roosevelt though was one of the first Americans to abuse yellow journalism. In 1898 ideologically, I believe it was only in his own self-interest to bring about war. He used the newspaper to spread lies and convince the Ameri...

Before the Mexican-American War a lot of people don't know that the stretch of land we know today as California, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas used to be owned by Mexico. Mexican Westerners, fabricated as part of the American Western culture as far back as the 1840s. There is some biasness to what Ann Coulter had said about Mexicans on Fox News when she had said Mexicans have never been apart of American heritage, come on...really? I would like to discredit that real quick and say this; that our struggle as Mexican-Americans or Chicanos, in America; has always been prevalent in American history textbooks. I don't know where she got her information from, but Mexican immigrants have been making their voices heard in this country as early as the 1950s. The Zoot Suit Riots in particular is one event in American history I would like to pinpoint. Young Chicano Americans would dress up in white tailored suits to show empowerment, but police and military persons at the time would see t...
