Robert Crohan/Staff Writer With the arrival of vaccines for COVID-19, many assumed that the pandemic would come to a swift end. And the signs were promising… Until they weren’t. With a new barrier to full conquest erected, the virus mutated a great many times to adjust. This is normal for diseases, but scientists claim that […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer On January 5, Georgia voters narrowly cast their votes for two Democrats, the Reverend Raphael Warnock, and Jon Ossoff, to represent them in the United States Senate. With such, the Democratic Party won control of the chamber, handing a moral boost to President-elect Biden and his platforms for delivering aid and unity […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer In the new American era of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., not everyone is on board. The President is overwhelmingly disapproved of by Republicans, but this is not the whole story. Top conservative leaders have taken to the pens in protest against what they see as an overarching and overly generous administration. Among […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer The Trump era proved a dark age for Florida Democrats. Not only was the governorship maintained by the Republicans, but a Senate seat was lost, and the State House and Senate grew even further out of reach. To put this in perspective, Texas has a smaller State House majority for the GOP […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Much of modern political discourse would suggest a country moving left. After eight years of President Barack Obama, a single term for right-wing President Donald Trump, and years upon years of ceaseless progressive activism, such an image has come front-and-center in the minds of many. But a drive through any state might […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer To the surprise of very few, the Israel-Palestine conflict is flaring up and grabbing the headlines.

Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Americans are excited. With vaccinations on the rise and infections down, people are eagerly awaiting the day when COVID-19 is behind us.

Robert Crohan/Staff Writer This week, President Biden took a trip down to the bayous: he arrived in Louisiana to promote the merits of his infrastructure plan to a state he lost by nearly 19 points. Louisiana, which is racially diverse, less wealthy than most states and behind others on public services, could benefit greatly from […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer After many delays, the electoral results of the 2020 United States census have finally been released. Such an important staple of our republic holds heavy implications for every one of our citizens. Now, we finally have a clearer idea of what the evolving face of our country looks like. Some major takeaways […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer The Republican party sure loves double standards. For years, it has talked of getting meaningful things done as the American people suffer at the hands of Democratic leadership. By promoting economic, social and personal freedoms, the GOP has branded itself as the more productive party that would stick up for everyone. However, […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer This month, the White House has demonstrated sharp inconsistency with regards to a difficult area of policy: refugee resettlement. After promising on the campaign trail to institute a higher cap on refugee admissions, President Biden apparently backtracked, saying that the US must temporarily keep the Trump-era limit of 15,000 refugees per year […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer There’s no other way to put it: America’s gun violence crisis is out of control.
