Hundreds to Receive Second Chance at Expungement Clinic
By Taylor Weissman
“Being labeled a felon really hinders you,” says Laucas Hicks, 24, who had trouble
finding employment and getting ahead in life, because of previous drug possession
convictions. Like others, Hicks needed his record to be expunged.
“Most people don't realize what they can do to clean up their past…Expungement is the
eraser of that arrest, including the mug shot,” said David Aylor, a defense lawyer and
presenter at the clinic.
Trident United Way and Palmetto Goodwill present an Expungement Clinic, Friday,
July 25th from 3:00-4:30, to address the process of expunging criminal charges. The
clinic will be held at Goodwill, 2150 Eagle Drive, Bldg. 100 in North Charleston.
Presenting will be attorney David Aylor. Among the topics to be covered:
• How the expungement process works
• Types of charges that can be expunged
• The cost of expungement
• How pardons work
• Elements of a background check
“It’s important to note that these are information-only clinics,” said Walter Simmons,
Prosperity Center coordinator. “No one at the clinic will be paying or arranging payment
for expungements.”
The clinic is a partnership among Palmetto Goodwill, Trident United Way, and Law
Offices of David Aylor. Palmetto Goodwill, Trident United Way and Family Services,
Inc. work in partnership at area Prosperity Centers, an intensely collaborative effort to
provide one-stop services that help families move up the financial stability ladder to self
sufficiency. Using their services, 118 families gained employment and exited Food
Stamps last year.

As the GOP Faces Impending Self –Destruction, an Unprecedented Opening for
Speaker of the House Gives Everyone Whiplash
By Taylor Weissman
Just weeks after Rep. John Boehner (R) announces his resignation as Speaker of
the House, effective October 30th, the GOP is left in a tailspin about trying to find a
replacement. In a time when the GOP is fractured and gridlocked, there seems to be slim
pickings for new leadership. With that said, everyone is looking at former 2012 Vice
Presidential hopeful and current Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Paul
Ryan (R) of Wisconsin to come in on his shiny white horse and save a house in distress.
After serving in the position for four and a half years, Boehner has endured a house divided, a
fractured establishment of the Republican Majority, significant opposition from Democratic
minority leader: Nancy Pelosi, a government shutdown in 2013, and threats from a gridlocked
house to shutdown the government again in 2015; Boehner was unable to establish party unity
and discussion among bi-partisan members; further, his efforts have proven exhaustive and
unsuccessful in breaking through the gridlocked members of the House GOP, and his
announcement to step down from the position sent the GOP into a further tailspin. What’s the
GOP to do when they simply lack the leadership they need?
While party members have been seemingly drawing names out of a hat for other
potential nominees, the bigger issue is that of the limited qualified individuals, who will have
the party majority support? No one wants the job, and why would they? After four years in
office, John Boehner has never looked more haggard or exhausted. The House and stubborn
aura of the GOP House Majority is enough to destroy the efforts and gravitas of any young
political hopeful skipping up the steps of Capital Hill eager to represent our great republic. Like
a train wreck that only Olivia Pope could “fix,” the House of Representatives is a gridlocked
ticking time-bomb that no one wants to take responsibility for. Boehner is already responsible
for one government shutdown and it would certainly destroy his CV or any dreams of sitting at
the resolute desk in the oval office if another shutdown were to occur under his watch; it’s
shocking that he hadn’t resigned earlier in his career and given the responsibility to some other
optimistic young-gun.
Scandals and icy partisanship aside, no one wants this job. Ted Cruz, the Joseph
Smith among Tea Party Republicans, is running for President, and while he might not be
the frontrunner for the Republican ticket, don’t discount him. Like a filibuster that wont
stop, Cruz has dedicated the majority of his political career bashing the “Republican
Establishment” (i.e. Speaker of the House) and taking down Boehner at any and all
opportunities, all while reveling in his joking yet, serious nickname as “Speaker Cruz.” A
man who cheered the government shutdown in 2013 and is only happy to let the door
slamon Boehner’s backside on the way out, he could become president. In addition to the
obvious insurmountable stress occupying the position, the GOP is desperate to repair the gap in

the leadership, but repairing the gap would ultimately result in becoming BFFLs with Minority
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, and like a One Direction hit released after threats and
reporting of a break-up, she CANNOT be dragged down. The Democrats occupy the minority of
the House of Representative? No big deal, Nancy can get everyone to agree and always pushes
her agenda. Known as a ball-buster and former Speaker of the House herself, she hardly takes
no for an answer and is the inspiring party peacekeeper the GOP is lacking, but so desperately
needs. She might not be the Speaker of the House anymore, but she is still a force to be
reckoned with and she will not hesitate to remind you. From a responsibility perspective, it
doesn’t sound all that bad for the Speaker of the House to be in cahoots with Pelosi, especially
since with her guidance and respect, unsupported measures will ultimately pass; except
for that fact that whoever the new Speaker of the House is will be viewed as nothing
more than a traitor to their own party. The political capital that comes from a business
partnership with Pelosi is just the rocket-launching ammunition conservative pundits and
Republican Party members need to create a washed out Boehner 2.0.
When Boehner’s initial announcement left the party scrambling, few brave
hopefuls stepped up to the plate and pledged their desire to take on the most undesirable
position in Washington. The only one worth his salt was Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R), who
also happens to be the Majority Party leader. An intelligent power play—a la moving
your Queen to H5-- by the GOP to poach the current Majority leader as the Speaker-elect,
everyone back at the GOP headquarters seemed like they could finally take a breath.
However, that euphoria was short-lived or rather the result of holding their breath for too
long. As quickly as he made the announcement to seek the nomination, he took it back
and opted to stay in his position as majority leader, a move that would prove useful for
future political endeavors, but ultimately left the GOP leadership in shambles, low on
time, and out of luck. Now everyone seems to be pointing the finger at the only qualified
and level-headed member in Congress, Paul Ryan (R), who would honestly rather play
around with tax legislature.
A family man and political patriot, who despite losing VP in 2012, still has the drive to
be in D.C, Ryan has publically stated that not only does he not want the position, he is
wholly uninterested in it, “While I am grateful for the encouragement I’ve received, I will
not be a candidate.” An honest man and good Christian who returns home every weekend
to be with his family and attend Sunday Mass, what reason does he have for inheriting
the office single-handedly responsible for Boehner’s demise. It seems that occupying this
position could send even the most observant fundamentalist Christian pounding on the
doors of atheists and agnostics, in addition to the fact that Ryan is happy as a clam to be
with the Ways and Means Committee. As of Friday, October 9th, with Congress heading
into recess and Ryan heading home to the wife and kids, it seems the House majority
members pulled a fast one on Ryan and peer pressured the man into considering the
position. With support form most majority members, endorsements from Rep. McCarthy
and the Freedom Caucus Party, it seems that the party has made up their mind about the
next Speaker-elect, whether Ryan likes it or not.
While he “thinks and prays about it,” Ryan just might be taking this next move out of the
sorority-girl playbook: playing hard to get. Back-door musings suggest that he would
certainly take on the position if he received unwavering support from the entire party, i.e.

no opposition or surprise contenders and guaranteed all 247 votes from the House
Majority. With that support, why would he say no? He would become the new the GOP
golden boy and poor Boehner can finally come up for air. The next move is on you Paul Ryan,
will you be the GOP’s new hope?
*Update: Paul Ryan has since announced that he will be seeking the nomination for speaker of
the House after the Freedom Caucus announced their undivided support for Congressmen
Ryan.

America, You’re Fired.
By Taylor Weissman, Campus Promotions Bully Pulpit Team
A racist intolerant demagogue utterly unsuitable for the highest political position in all
the land is plowing successfully through the primary elections like a disastrous tsunami.
Leaving a path of destruction, arrests, riots and protesters in his wake, Americans have
actually allowed what started as the biggest joke in American politics to become a reality:
Donald Trump will be the 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate.
Nothing short of a miracle of biblical proportions could change the face of this election
race. The only moderate republican worth his salt, John Kasich, has only secured 63 of
the 1,237 delegate votes necessary for the nomination — a devastating blow to all
moderate republicans, Kasich supporters, Ohioans, progressives, democrats, Latinos,
blacks, Muslims, immigrants, gays, lesbians, transgender men and women, and anyone
else who doesn’t sympathize with the Trump idolatry. We, the American people, are
responsible for what happens next. An America under Trump will become the “Fourth
Reich,” it’s just a matter of time until his abuse of power cascades into a reincarnation of
Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia or Mussolini’s Italy.
A millionaire, who reeks of capitalismand the entitled “1 percent” has won the hearts of
Americans with his “get rich quick” real-estate tactics, phony business schemes and
reality television shows, in which his much discussed coif and disgruntled pout of
disapproval—a caricature of sorts—somehow manipulated voters of his credibility. He
somehow got people to actually agree with his racist rhetoric. He has amassed a
following of dedicated and devoted fans; uneducated bigots salivating at the opportunity
to attack protestors in the name of Trump and captivated by the unclear and quite
possibly illegal policies he hopes to institute as a last ditch effort to “make America great
again.”
Let’s take a moment and examine Donald Trump:
• Although supporters proclaim his business success and Super PAC independence as admirable
and his proclamations against big government and career politicians as refreshing, Trump has
publically filed for bankruptcy three times for his company: Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc.
and demolished many of his international hotels and casinos. His former businesses (which are
still included in his repertoire of success at campaign rallies), such as Trump Airlines, Trump
Vodka, Trump Casinos, Trump: The Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Steaks, GoTrump.com,
Trump University, Trump Mortgage, Trump Natural Spring Water, Trump Super Speedway,
Trump Power, The Trump Executive Collection, Trump Follies, and the Trump Network all cease
to exist and clearly, nepotism doesn’t phase him. His only financial success comes from the
years of successfully flipping hotels and sky risers and cultivating his real estate empire. Not to
mention, to win a Presidential election against the Democratic Candidate is going to require
upwards of $500 million—2012 showed us that when Obama spent over a $1 billion and
Romney spent $850 million. His days of bankrolling his own election scheme are over.

• He preaches that a nation without borders or laws is not a nation. He calls for a wall around
the southern United States and has promised that Mexico will pay for it, mandatory
deportation of all criminal aliens and ending birthright citizenship.
• He has gained support for his provocative stances on Islamand absolutely supports, if not
requires, a Muslim Registry to keep terrorism at bay.
• Vladimir Putin, America’s most notable adversary, has endorsed Donald Trump for President
stating, “[Donald Trump is] a really brilliant and talented person, without any doubt. It’s not our
job to judge his qualities, that’s a job for American voters, but he’s the absolute leader in the
presidential race.” Putin also suggested that Trump is a strong leader—music to Trump’s ears
There is a reason why Donald Trump is being compared to Hitler. His immigration
stances and attitude towards Hispanics and Muslims is nothing short of bigotry and
racism. He is simultaneously inciting fear and anger into the uneducated minds of voters
by citing flawed statistics of rapes, murders and dangerous crimes committed by Latino
immigrants. He is propagating xenophobic blasphemy that all worshippers of Islam
believe American democracy to be the object for their Jihad-ist desire.
Louis C. K. isn’t wrong when he discusses the dangers associated with voting for Trump.
His bigotry fuels rioting; it fuels exclusivity based on race and religion at campaign rallies; and it
fuels violence and hatred. His words have already proven to incite dangerous and violent
circumstances, as men and women are attacked in the street, in peaceful protests or for simply
respecting their religious beliefs. His beliefs fail to represent logical thinking, and at minimum,
fail to represent what is constitutionally legal. Sure, Devil’s Advocate would suggest that Louis
C.K. has no credibility to publicly comment on political matters. He’s a comedian and an
actor and therefore can’t accurately describe the current climate revolving the election, but
Louis C. K. possesses about as much credibility to comment on politics, as Trump has to be
running for President.
Finally, Vladimir Putin endorsing Donald Trump for President isn’t the positive PR many
hoped it to be. America’s number one geopolitical adversary and untrustworthy opponent
would obviously take any opportunity to weaken America. Putin has his eyes on the prize and
his endorsement for Trump is nothing more than a strategic chess move to weaken our country
just enough to deliver debilitating blows. He knows that Trump completely lacks diplomacy,
military or governing experience, and will fracture the political system. An America under
Trump is an America divided—a vulnerable position necessary for Cold War round 2.
Of course it would be in Putin’s best interest to capitalize on the American election and
manipulate voters into thinking his endorsement represents America’s best interest,
besides why would he support a political candidate that he actually fears? The answer is
he wouldn’t, and his support for Trump does little to meet the eye.
Also, let’s not forget that Trump and Putin both believe in similar governing styles. Putin
would like nothing more than to take a trip down memory lane and return Russia to its
years beneath the Iron Curtain. Trump in a position of power will just incite a new era of
America Politics; America: Land of the White, Home of the Brave, Protected by an Iron Wall.

With the GOP announcement for the Republican Presidential Candidate just around the
corner, there is nothing for us to do, but hope and pray that a contested convention
occurs. If the unimaginable happens and come November, Donald Trump adds President-
Elect to his title, we only have ourselves to blame.

6 Tips for a Happy and Healthy Summer in Charleston
by Taylor Weissman
Its summertime, school’s out, and the living’s easy! Don’t let June gloom or summer boredom
get you down. It’s the perfect time to get off the couch, turn off the tube and get outside and
explore beautiful Charleston this summer. All of us at Trident United Way want this to be you
and your family’s most fun summer yet! For the most adventurous of Lowcountry explorers and
even for the more timid, there are plenty of exciting options for some summer fun. With
countless events and opportunities in downtown Charleston, the world can be your oyster this
summer. For parents looking to have fun with their kids and spend time outside learning, there
are plenty of fun activities for kids that will keep them alert and ready for school, while also
curing that summer boredom, which tends to get the best of us.
1. Beach it
Get your kids outside this July before the heat and humidity of August beat you down, get
friends together and spend the day at the beach. Folly Beach or Isle of Palms could be the
missing piece for getting a great tan. Learn to surf like a pro with Shaka Surf School in Folly—a
fun activity the whole family can participate in, go paddle boarding with Charleston Outdoor
Adventures, build sandcastles, and more! Charleston’s close and picturesque beaches make any
and all water sports a piece of cake.
2. Learn a new Sport!
Go on a bike ride downtown, with rentals from The Bicycle Shoppe or explore a new sport for
exercise. Summer time is a great time to bring that old fishing rod out of retirement. Take a
hike or go camping on James Island, and of course, you could always pursue your passion for
baseball and go cheer on your favorite minor league team, The Charleston River Dogs.
3. Find you Inner Green Thumb
Perhaps you could find you inner green thumb and plant a garden with your kids—create a
miniature ecosystem for a fun at-home science experiment. Build a tree house or grow an
organic vegetable and herb garden.
4. Summer Food Passport
For the foodie, create a Summer Food Passport for new recipes and exotic foods, build a
lemonade stand, or take a cooking class. Go on a picnic and don’t forget about the Farmer’s
Market downtown every weekend, an opportunity to support local farms and explore those
new kid-friendly recipes and browse the food trucks.
5. At-Home Science Fun for the whole Family
Try out fun at-home science experiments with your kids, such as homemade ice cream and
exploding lunch bags. At-home educational experiments are great way to keep your kids

occupied, engaged, learning, and having fun! The opportunities to spend time with your kids
this summer are endless.
6. Make History Fun!
Downtown Charleston is a beautiful city with plenty of attractions; a visit to the
Old City Market, Carriage tours, or the historical Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon
will suffice your inner historian. Take a trip across the bridge and head to Patriot’s Point to rent
a sailboat with Charleston Sailing School! A trip to Waterfront Park for a nice family picnic is
always fun, and a great way to work on that new tan. Visiting any of the museums downtown,
the The Children's Museum, a trip to the South Carolina Aquarium are fun alternatives for a
boring day. Second Sundays on King are great for lazy Sundays; bring the dog, sunglasses, and a
smile for a nice stroll down historic King St. Finally, for those late summer nights, a ghost tour of
the historic graveyards and old City Jail will surely make for a fun summer memory.
The opportunities for a fun summer in Charleston are endless, but it’s time to get
off the couch, get outside, and go on an adventure. Learn a new skill, find a new
hobby, or explore all that this wonderful city has to offer. For more ideas for your
happiest and healthy summer yet, you can visit Trident United Way’s Pinterest
