BLM is necessary in the U.S.
I cannot bring myself to utter the "All Lives Matter" cliché because it simply is not true. All lives should matter but they clearly don't, and in our country black lives matter least of all. The Black Lives Matter movement is totally necessary and does not in the least infringe on anyone else's right to matter. Black lives do matter, and the rest of us need to start proving it. Until we do, the phrase "All Lives Matter" remains a hypocritical lie.

A liar is not worthy of Oval Office
Apparently the ability to lie — repeatedly, unapologetically, even under oath, is the new norm for a presidential candidate. We have all been witnesses to the public claims of Hillary Clinton, regarding Benghazi (video vs. reality), the manipulation and destruction of emails — some top secret, the use of multiple and unauthorized devices and servers, etc. (verified findings of the FBI). Nevertheless, it was decided that she is neither culpable or accountable to Americans for her lies. Instead, she is touted by Obama as a superior choice for the presidency.
Have we all lost our minds? Is a proven liar for president, someone who our children should aspire to honor and/or become? I submit that she can’t be trusted with national security (or to suddenly have an epiphany of honesty), upon arriving in the Oval Office — especially since she is immune from consequences, unlike the rest of us.
