Trump Pardons Arpaio


Trump issued his first pardon to sheriff  Joe Arpaio. Arpaio is known for his racism towards immigrants. In July of this year, Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt for violating a 2011 order that barred him from detaining individuals based on suspicion of their legal status.  This pardon is an example of the direction his administration is going.

Trav Trippin: Don’t Shoot the Messenger 

 We’ll miss the boat looking at the trees. When I say “we’ll”, I mean us, black people. I’m guilty of it, of have been guilty of it, at times. Guilty of worrying about the messenger more than the message. But on the other hand, there’s something to be said about a CREDIBLE source.

 

“Tell ‘em why you mad Trav”

 

Every since JAY-Z’s latest album 4:44 dropped, I’ve seen a whole collective dedicated to combatting everything positive about that album. Maybe I’m biased (I’m a Rocafella baby) but it just doesn’t make sense how many “It took JAY-Z to tell yall to…” tweets. Mostly, if not completely, from black people. What’s the issue? Is it that you were smart enough or informed enough to already know the value of real estate, or saving, or marriage prior to the album that you resent your opinions don’t travel like Hov’s does? Newsflash: Way more people know who JAY-Z is and with that they know his business acumen. Or is it that Hov called out some dumb shit you do for bragging rights (Like throwing money in the strip club) as something we shouldn’t be doing too much of and it bruised your image? Newsflash: You can still do what you want to do. Or lastly is it that you just hate any time a lot of people is giving a person credit simultaneously for something? This is the definition of a hater. When you just dislike a person’s success or influence simply because they have more of it than you. I see this a lot. I vow to never be a hater. But it’s a matter of perspective. People interpret your viewpoints based off of their experience. Perspective is personal. I just don’t understand why this man trying to educate our culture and progress the financial literacy and marital importance of our generation and the one after us, would be met with such resistance. Yall bitch too much and don’t listen enough. Take the gems and use them or if you think they’re insignificant, why do you have a problem with other people thinking it’s helpful?

How to Impeach a President 


Since Trump was elected as President of the United States all of my friends have asked me when he will be impeached. The impeachment process is a long process,just as the Founders wanted it to be. There are multiple steps to impeach a U.S President. Nixon resigned before he could be impeached. Clinton was impeached in the House of Representatives,but not in the Senate.


Impeachment is the ability of Congress to remove a President before their term is over if he has committed treason,bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. 
Steps Required to Impeach Trump:

  1. House of Representatives initiates impeachment charges
  2. House of Representatives investigates to determine if there are grounds for impeachment 
  3. House of Representatives votes on impeachment charges; majority is required
  4. House of Representatives notifies the Senate of the charges
  5. Senate will hold a hearing for the President to state if he is guilty or not guilty
  6. Senate subpoenas witnesses 
  7. Senate votes on impeachment 
  8. If both the House and Senate votes for impeachment the president will be removed from office
