Yours Truly, Ally

Facebook is an online social media and social networking service company founded in 2003 by former Harvard Student Mark Zuckerberg. It's quick rise to fame has led to its current title as the leading social media platform. Worldwide, there were over 2.32 billion monthly active users (MAUs) as of December 2018.

The continuously growing social media platform additionally experienced a nine percent increase in Facebook MAUs with 2.32 billion users during the third quarter in 2018. With regards to daily active users, there was an approximated amount of 1.52 billion DAUs. One could assume there is a clear indication of continued growth and engagement on Facebook's platform, whilst promoting connectivity amongst users. The leading social network enables businesses to promote their company via Facebook. 65 million businesses are reported to be using Facebook pages, and more than six million advert...

The First Amendment is perhaps one of the most crucially  essential  rights we have as U.S. citizens. Benedict Spinoza's Tractatus-Theologico Politicus  suggests that a society where the government censors speech, is correlated to higher rates of violence. On the other hand, a society where citizens are granted the right to say whatever he or she fancies en ables the government to better monitor potentially dangerous groups.  Let's take the Covington Catholic High School example for instance—the young men involved have faced immense backlash on the basis of their devotion to Christianity, their support for President Donald Trump, and the color of their skin.  The young men, who were in Washington to participate in the March For Life, stood outside the Lincoln Memorial for their school bus. However, the mainstream media, CNN in particular, claim that these boys surrounded and terrorized Native American activist Nathan Phillips, but as well all know, or...

I'm pro-life and I believe in the dignity of EVERY human life. All life matters. Now, before you burn me at the stake, allow me to explain my reasoning. It's quite simple. So sit down, judge me (if you want), and listen. In my opinion, life begins at conception, which makes abortion equivalent to murder. Supporting abortion is supporting taking the life of another human. Yes, women AND MEN should have the right to their own body, but when you factor in the life of another human, the sole opinion of the female isn't the only opinion that matters.

"Why exactly do you think a first-trimester fetus has moral value?" said one student during the event.  ...

One of the strongest beliefs of the Democratic Party, or at least in my opinion, is the ideal of equality on all front. Simply put, Democrats believe in equal opportunity regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. However, in relatively recent news, Democrats seem to act in contradiction to their supposed "beliefs," especially with the #MeToo movement. Rather than promoting "equality for all," modern-day feminism seems more like a threat to masculinity (especially if you're a white male). Democrats treated unsubstantiated allegations about Judge Brett Kavanaugh (now an Associate Justice for the Supreme Court) as the "ultimate" truth, which was in my opinion, was the Democrats tactic to prevent Kavanaugh from serving on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh angrily denied (as he should) all allegations of sexual misconduct that Christine Blasey Ford made towards the Supreme Court nominee. First of all, it seems rather convenient that Ford ch...

When you think of the Supreme Court, how do you picture it? Perhaps for some, it might comical to picture it as a so-called cult: people dressing in black robes for some discreet, ominous meeting. Yah, seems "cult-like" to me. And if you actually thought that, you're most definitely wrong (and might need to revisit your middle school history class). The Supreme Court of the United States (or SCOTUS) is without a doubt the most unique —not to mention most powerful —court system.  But, how familiar are you with its role in our nation? "The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." These words, as found in Article III of the U.S. Constitution, established the Supreme Court, as well as granted Congress the power to create inferior federal courts. This power was established in the SCOTUS during the Supreme Court case: Marbury v. Madison in ...
