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.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

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.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
