Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Well folks, we did it. Come January 21, 2021, Donald Trump will be president no more. It took the incredible dedication, sacrifice and hard work of countless forward-thinking Americans to spread the word of the dangers the president posed to our country and kick him to the curb. For this, I say […]
Hayley Serpa/Staff Writer On November 7th, after five days of intense vote counting and ricocheting nerves, most major national news outlets, including the Associated Press, called the presidential election for Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden. Yet even with the announcement, the presidential race is still far from over as tensions fly high. Close proximities with […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Two years ago, I was excited. Scratch that — I was giddy. Andrew Gillum, a likeable and humble progressive who was running for Florida governor, was riding off anti-Trump sentiment in the sunshine state. He was favored to win and his promises of overdue change in a poor and polluted state excited […]
Cristina Gonzalez/Entertainment Director In a time where public trust in the media is already at an all-time low, the latest presidential election has only fueled the conversation on the press’ objectivity and their influence on public opinion. For Emmy Award-winning newscaster, Calvin Hughes, the 2016 and 2020 elections proved one thing: the media was wrong. […]
Sergey Podlesnykh/Staff Writer I don’t approve of judging. Most times, it is based on inductive inferences that fall in the fallacious bin of hasty generalizations. However, when it comes to political affiliations, I have an alternative approach. We don’t really judge someone’s character based on their political beliefs. Rather, their character and morals predetermine that […]
Julian Michanie/Staff Writer It’s no secret that the United States has become more divided than ever, but a key question arose for me during election season this year: when did we start using political beliefs to judge the character of a person? Although political beliefs constitute a variety of factors, whether it may be how […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer As 2020 and the term of President Donald Trump draw to a close, let us look back and reflect. The famous electoral question “are you better off than you were four years ago?” is still relevant. Personally, I am not, and neither are most of the people I know. The numbers tell […]
Damielys Duarte/Assistant Opinion Director These last seven months have been a social and political mess with Black Lives Matter protests taking place in major cities across the country, and states struggling to handle the Coronavirus outbreak at different lengths. It seems that everyone is turning to their representatives, and their pleas are falling on deaf […]
Nathan Nayor/Contributing Writer It has been over two and a half years since the Parkland shooting, which sparked protests around the country pleading for regulations on guns that would prevent these tragedies; yet they ensue, and we have now had a year in which there have been more shootings than days in the year. With […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer I have to say, the Democrats have come a long way since 2016. Donald Trump seemed unstoppable. His election had conservatives and ex-liberals rejoicing over their blow to the establishment. His economy was strong, and Democrats were, in the words of my fellow staff writer Fernando, “pretty much failing at everything.” Trump […]
Sergey Podlesnykh/Staff Writer The first presidential debate on Tuesday was anything but presidential. What is the main takeaway from ninety-five minutes of mutual insults, interruptions and utter frustration? Arguably, Joe Biden didn’t perform strong enough to clinch the victory, but he honestly didn’t have to. President Trump’s poor performance paved the way for Biden and […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Last week, the world lost a fighter, a true warrior for justice and equal rights: Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg spent her entire life championing equality for all, winning five supreme court cases even before her appointment. On the court, she fought for a number of rights and shook the legal establishment […]
