----Is there a bias?---

You tell me. If a man pulls a knife out on a woman and forces her to have sex with him, what would you call that? now if a woman pulls a knife out on a man and forces him to have sex with her what would you call that? I would call both those scenarios rape. But what would the news call it?

Here are some other articles about this story:

washingtonpost.com: Montana woman with machete hides behind ex-boyfriend’s door, then forces sex on him, police say

heavy.com: Samantha Mears: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

usatoday.com: Woman charged for using a machete to force ex-boyfriend to have sex

rt.com: Machete-wielding woman ‘forces’ ex to have sex — RT US News

people.com: Montana Woman, 19, Allegedly Used Machete to Threaten Man Into Sex

All these news outlets reported on the crime and not one of them called it rape, it's so bad that the actual prosecutors haven't charged her with rape.

---Socialist wins in New York Alexandria Ocasio!---

History is being made right before our eyes. Alexandria Ocasio is a 28-year-old, woman, Latina (boricua), and a socialist! (and she's cute). And she's getting shade from both the right and the left. regardless of how you feel about socialism, this is history in the making and people should pay attention to this because her winning is the voice in the people saying that they are not happy with the status quo.

Do you like her? Not sure? Learn more about her platform here.

Let's take a second and realize that Alexandria Ocasio who won the democratic primary and is going to possibly be our new Congress woman, one-day she's a bartender, and the next she's on the road to help run this country. This is what makes this county great. you can come from the bottom and work hard and make your way up to be a leader in it. Maybe one day she will be our first female president, anything is possible here.

----When is Bigotry OK?---
Is calling for the harassment of people because of their beliefs ok? Let's go over some examples.

Can we harass Muslims because we don't agree with their beliefs?

Can we harass immigrants because we don't agree with their beliefs?

Can we harass gays because we don't agree with their beliefs?

Can we harass Christians because we don't agree with their beliefs?

Can we harass Republicans because we don't agree with their beliefs?

if you said yes to any of these congratulations you are a bigot.

And this is exactly what congresswoman Maxine Waters is being accused.

----Travel Ban------
A great podcast from NPR on supreme court cases and their impact: https://www.npr.org/podcasts/481105292/more-perfect

---Welcome to America---

A Times cover has shown a little girl crying in front of President Trump, titled "Welcome to America"

Dope cover btw but mostly a lie.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/32172/time-magazines-shocking-cover-total-lie-no-wonder-ben-shapiro

This cover is basically propaganda, they are trying to make people believe things that are not true so those same people can join them in their political war.

This is America.
