Will gays abandon Hillary Clinton for Joe Biden



There has been a lot of talk of Joe Biden joining the presidential race.  Because of Biden's strong views on gays it brings up the question as to whether or not gays who are most likely to vote for Hillary Clinton will convert over and vote for Joe Biden.  Biden has shown emotional support for the gay community since his time spent as Vice President and some think he pressured Obama in to passing the marriage rights laws sooner than he would have originally wanted.  Many people now compare Hillary Clinton to their mom instead of a political candidate which is not helping her in the race.   

"Left to Die" after Hurricane Katrina

Recently there has been a lot of racial inequality issues arising, but people say it started all the way back to Hurricane Katrina.  Bush stated then that "the storm doesn't discriminate and neither will the recovery effort.  Lewis, a high school student, thought she would be returning to school the next day but rather than that, she woke up surrounded by water.  Many people went on to their rooftop to be picked up.  "You didn't have to check the color of peoples skin to airlift people off the roof" but the majority of people left to die were black.  The big question is, though, is was this done on purpose or just a coincidence.

Hillary Clinton's Private Email

After being caught using her personal email, Hillary Clinton claims that her laptop was wiped clean before turned in for investigation.  Not only this, but she hired a firm to oversee the investigation.  Clinton has been very un clear with her responses to questions about the server being wiped and turns serious matters into jokes.  She claims that she does not know how it works at all.  Not only is the email the problem, but two of her aides balckberry cell phones are said to have been destroyed as well after being caught.  To add to all of this, Clinton did not have a certified cell phone either which brings about more questions as to what was going on behind the curtain.  Because Clinton disregarded the national security laws investigators are trying to recover old files.

Alpha Phi Controversial Recruitment Video

Many people have watched the University of Alabama's Alpha Phi sorority recruitment video and believe it is degrading to women.  Not only is it said to be degrading but also racially homogeneous.  The video is a bunch of white girls with blonde hair dancing around in their bikinis and daisy dukes.  Though a recruitment video is supposed to "sell" the sorority, it is being said that all this video does is attract men of all ages to the excessive "bikini butt shots".  Sororities were created as a philanthropic club along with service efforts.  This video lacks any sort of knowledge for either of these ideals.  BUT, is it any different than other sorority videos?  As of now the true video has been removed from the internet for its racial and degrading flaws, but there are versions of the video here.

Couple from Mississippi tries to join ISIS

A couple from Mississippi, Jaelyn Delshaun Young and Muhammad Oda Dakhlalla, were arrested for trying to join ISIS.  They confessed to the FBI their plan and were charged with attempting and conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist group.  Young had been communicating with an undercover FBI agent about her desire to travel to Syria, but first had to marry Dakhlalla so that they could travel there without a chaperone due to the strict Islamic law.  At first, the couple was planning on being medics for the group, but later Dakhlalla said he was willing to fight for them.  Both believe that the US is not giving us the truth on the group and wanted to fix the falsehoods heard from the media.
