Mike Pence: What we need to know about Donald Trump's VP pick.

On Friday morning, presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump announced Indiana governor Mike Pence as his running mate. The choice came as a surprise to both the left and right, since Mike Pence is known for his old-school republican extremism. We all know that Trump is wishy-washy (which makes him all the more dangerous for this country, and the world).

In Indiana, he is known for abortion bill HB1337. HB 1337 was among the most horrendous anti-abortion bills to ever be presented in this country. The bill banned women from seeking abortions based on fetal anomaly, gender, and race. The bill also required women to bury or cremate the fetus once it was aborted.
The passing of this bill angered women so much, that some made a group called "Periods for Pence." These women would call and tweet Pence, detailing their menstrual cycles (which is genius in my opinion, LOL).

Pence was also behind the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. This bill would allow business owners to discriminate against anyone who is LGBTQ+ (if you even "looked" LGBTQ+, business owners would have the ability to deny services to you). Many states, companies, public figures, and more boycotted the state. Indiana legislature amended the bill, saying that bill could not be used to discriminate against the LGBTQ+ community.

The list of Pence's offenses (hey, that rhymed!) goes on and on. The point is, is that whatever decisions he makes, he does it in the best interest of the old-school Republican extremists. He doesn't care about anyone else.
Maybe that's why Trump picked him.

I don't need to tell you that Trump and Pence together spell the destruction of our country. If you have a brain, you already know that. What I am going to reiterate to you is, we need a leader who will represent ALL Americans (not just the ones in your party).
Trump and Pence only have one group of Americans in mind: the white, rich, republican extremists.

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!)
