Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's sweeping victories in NY primaries: Is the system rigged?

-
primary
Most of us are waking up to the "shocking" news that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump spanked the competition in last night's primaries. This puts them one step closer to being the main candidates for the presidential election. While Bernie Sanders has been kicking butt in recent primaries, New York proved to be a long shot, in one very unfortunate way.

It is no secret that the voting system in NY is a bit tainted. Yesterday, millions of voters were banned from voting due to the fact that they were not registered Democrats. New York's deadline for changing your party was absurdly early. Sanders has mentioned this on social media. For some time now, he has been urging voters to check the deadlines and change their party affiliation before the deadline. 

All of this could be quite coincidental. However, given that this has happened elsewhere during this election, it does appear that the presidential election gods want Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to be the frontrunners for the White House (this fact does not sit well with me, as I detest both candidates intensely).

We still have a long way to go. Bernie Sanders could change things significantly and become the Democratic frontrunner. As for the GOP frontrunner, I just want all of them to go to a deserted island and duke it out. The last one left standing can keep the Castaway ball as a BFF.

Still, if it is a Clinton-Trump election, I plan on writing in my choice on the ballot. If you don't like Trump or Clinton, please write in your choice for President. Don't just stay home on election day. Vote! Also, if the primaries haven't happened in your state yet, please make sure you are affiliated with the right party. Get out there and vote! We don't want Hitler 2.0 (Trump), and an untrustworthy candidate (Clinton), to be our only choices.

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

We as viewers followed Chef Ramsay as he ventured from restaurant to restaurant trying to save the failing businesses and repair broken relationships. The series aired for 7 seasons before ending in 2014. Since Gordon Ramsay ended 'Kitchen Nightmares,' many fans wonder which restaurants have stood the test of time, and which ones did not. As of right now, the restaurant closure rate stands at a shocking 69%. The restaurants that are still in operation stands at 31%. Most of the restaurants featured earlier in the series have since closed. Here is a list of the restaurants that have closed: Bella Luna Mangia Mangia Kati Allo Old Neighborhood Restaurant Amy's Baking Company (YAY!)
