Turnitin.com and College Peer Reviews.

In my recent course load from the Univ. of Maryland I was instructed that all projects must be reviewed through "turnitin.com"; a general engine to validate that a persons work is relatively original. Here is the issue, my instructor demanded a score of less than 3%. Well, when students are writing papers where they quote a source multiple times, the ranking goes up. So I received a 3% on a source because some chick at UCLA decided to use my same source, but quote it about 15 times. How exactly is the 3% assessment fair? If this chick and her one paper was not entirely dependent on my source, I would have been fine. Man I hate school.

Donald Trump will win in 2020 because America can't do better.

At some point Americans will realize that politicians race bait for a reason, in the end, they are all the same. They keep their job by having 'classes' and having those 'classes' attack each other. They always have. The hatred from Trump they espouse, isn't real. Their opinion of him, isn't real. They just want to keep their job. That is all. Why do they really hate Trump? Because he proved that someone not in their establishment could win. They hate that. It makes them mortal, and they don't want to hear that. They rely on voters not paying attention and simply following a party blindly. Whether you're a Dem or a Rep, that doesn't matter it is simply one promoted ideology over another. They don't really follow that ideology, they sell it to you "the People" (channeling inner Bane voice). And what is the worst part, Americans fall for it. They actually think they 'win'. They don't win. Nothing fundamentally changes course...

The Democratic Party goes back to its Slavery Loving days - The South Will Rise Again - under Clinton.

Originally I thought this was just a conspiracy theory, why would anyone want a race war. But the more comments their leaders make, the more sense it seems that position takes. Hillary Clinton, who is up to her neck in legal issues, has now made a video of such racist quality - it has to be seen to be believed. I firmly believe she wants constant racial conflict because it keeps Americans from focusing on solving problems. She has no touch, none, on reality. I can only hope those blindly following her are starting to get an understanding of what she represents. “I will call for white people, like myself, to put ourselves in the shoes of those African-American families who fear every time their children go somewhere, who have to have ‘The Talk,’ about, you now, how to really protect themselves [from police], when they’re the ones who should be expecting protection from encounters with police,” Clinton told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “ I’m going to be talking to white people, we ’re the...
