The Supreme Court

        The Supreme Court is made up of nine Chief Justices and the court is one of the strongest allies the people have within the Federal Government. Since it's conception the Supreme Court has slowly gained more and more power, allowing them to choose laws or rulings that they deem unconstitutional. The role of a Supreme Court Justice is incredibly prestigious as there have only been little over one hundred justices in US history. Despite the prestigious role, the job is not easy, the justices get about 200 new cases every week, that is over 7000 in a single year, meaning that the review process that they must go through is long and tedious. The court however does not have to choose every case that lands on their desk, this is thanks to certiorari, it gives the justices the right to choose which cases will be heard, and which ones will not. The court is incredibly open about their process, unlike other corners of government they announce all of their verdicts and all of their thoughts to the people so they can know what the court has been doing. Within the courts meetings there is an unspoken rule where everyone at the table must be allowed to speak at least once once on the matter before someone can speak twice. The Supreme Court is an incredibly strong ally for the people of the United States, and they fight for what is right in every case that they hear. Without the court the other two branches of government would run rampant and unchecked, which is a scary thing to think about.

In the past week alone I spent a combined 52 hours on all these apps alone. 40 of those hours were spent watching videos on Youtube, seven hours coming from scrolling through Instagram and five hours coming from scrolling through Twitter. My youtube watch time alone eclipsed two full days of videos which is a staggering thing to think about. After this revelation I started to think about just how much time these platforms take up and how to be able to stop myself from continuing this trend. It seemed like the 52 hours of that week didn't mean much to past me, but to present me, that time could have been used for more productive activities.       Now when looking at my digital f...

  False Flags     False flags by definition  is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of the act as a second party, then blaming that second party. In more simple terms a false flag is a covert operation that is used to blame a person, government, or country for something that you set up. False flags have been prevalent in our world for hundreds of years. False Flags are incredibly common and are most often used to undermine political opponents, during times of war, and is a main tactic in espionage. Larger world powers have used false flags for years and almost every Global Superpower has used them in order to benefit them in their endeavors.
