Security Debate

Hillary talks about how we don't want to engage in Cyber warfare, but we will.

Hillary keeps talking about all her plans, but what are they? I still am not any clearer on any of her plans other than to tax the rich. 

We are making no progress on ISIS. She is lying. Trump is right about how Obama and Secretary Clinton created ISIS. 

NATO doesn't do anything. It will have no impact! Working with NATO will do no good. 

I want to know what Trump's homeland security plans are. I'm really curious about that. 

Hillary just lies! Iran is still working on nuclear weapons! She did nothing to stop Iran from creating nuclear weapons!

The Economy Debate

HillaryClinton.com is apparently the new fact sources. 

Trump made a great point when he said that Hillary has been in politics for thirty plus years and it just keeps getting worse. She also talks about creating debt-free college and creating government jobs that we don't have money. 

Trump has made some really great points about taking jobs oversees. 

How do we know what she is saying about Trump not paying people is true? 

She also keeps referring to "statistics" that she doesn't cite. They sound good, but they're not true. You can make a statics say anything you want. 

They're talking about tax plans. Not really actually. They're talking about Trump's tax returns. I don't know why he hasn't released his tax returns, but I don't think it that big of a deal. 

Trump has made great points on trade deals and the fact that politicians are horrible with money. We need someone in politics who is good with money. 

Is Hillary talking about our word as a country? Does Hillary even have values. 

Stupid People

I'm going to rant. This is a warning. Sometimes I can't read the news because it just makes me angry. Today was one of those days. 

It is ridiculous that America has come to this. This nation was built on being the land of the free and a place to openly voice opinions. And this is diminishing. I just read a story on Fox News (yes, I know many people don't think Fox News is accurate, but that's just because they're not afraid to cover risky topics) about the University of Kansas. There was a transgender student who believed she has been discriminated against based on her sexual orientation. In response to a video that was posted, students held "safe places" to discuss both sides of the issue. The meeting was invaded by "social justice workers", verbally abusing the students, calling them racist and white supremacists.

First of all, the students were holding a discussion based on sexual orientation, not race. The protesters were just wrong. Second of all, everyone should have the right to politely and respectfully voice their opinions everywhere they go, especially on a public college campus. It's very sad. Colleges' are meant to be the places where change starts, but how can that happen if students are denounced for voicing their opinions?

Horrible Cancer Charities

I've been doing some research on different charities and the worst are cancer charities. Cancer is a large problem, but there are too many cancer charities making money off their donors. It's so sad. I don't know how people can live with themselves knowing that their million dollar salary was donated for cancer research. I think the biggest problem is there is too much trust. People should trust charities. It should be expected that when you donate to a charity, the money will go towards the cause. But that is simply not always true and you have to be aware that there are charities that make a profit from your donations.

1. Cancer Fund of America. There are a lot of really bad cancer foundations in America, which is really sad, but true. This foundation has been said to be spending $80 million to corporate solicitors over the last ten years. 
2. The Make A Wish Foundation. This is another cancer-type foundation. It's not technically cancer-specific, but it effects mostly cancer victims. It's overhead costs are estimated to be around 90% of the proceeds from fundraising. The Kids Wish Foundation, which is very similar, is much worse! Only $3.2 million of the $127.8 billion has actually gone towards its mission of granting wishes for dying children.
3. The American Breast Cancer Societies. These cancer charities are the worst! This particular charity pays 75% of its donations to the telemarketing company that is run by the founder's son. In recent years though, the company was forced to terminate that agreement and is now dedicating more money towards breast cancer. 
4. The American Breast Cancer Relief Society. The Tampa Bay Times went through and ranked the top fifty worst charities. This was number six. Only 2.2% of the donations actually goes to cancer research for this charity. 
5. National Cancer Coalition. Only 1.3% of donations goes to the cause for this charity. 
6. Disable Police Officers Counselling Center. I know this one doesn't have anything to do with cancer research, but i had to include because only 0.1% of the donations go to police officers. I don't know if it can even be considered a charity. 

Ideas

If anyone has a specific topic in which they want me to post, you can leave it in the comments.

MSM Ban on Blood Donations

I was doing research for an upcoming debate research on the MSM ban on donating blood. MSM is men who've had sex with men. It's ridiculous to believe that this ban is targeting a sexual orientation. The ban also includes prostitutes and women who've had sex with MSM. 

Lifting the ban would greatly endanger the blood supply. Only 78% of new HIV infections in the US occur in MSM. And yes, HIV testing has greatly improved since the ban was instituted in the 1980s, but there is still a ten day incubation period where HIV could go by undetected. In addition to this, according to a study done by the FDA, men who'd had a history of MSM had a 62-fold increase in HIV-transmission among donors. A history of multiple partners only had a 2.3-fold increase. 

The ban is there for a very good reason and shouldn't be lifted.
