Robert Crohan/Staff Writer As we approach three months of the new administration in the White House, the American people are looking forward to new initiatives to improve their lives and their country. After the mammoth COVID-19 relief package, President Biden and Vice President Harris are sending a message: there’s a lot more where that came […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer As soon as I was introduced to the internet at the beginning of middle school, I noticed an array of political talk. Given that my first politics class came the following year, I was confused as to what all of this meant. My understanding of politics is still evolving every day, but […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer This month, as universities coast to coast canceled spring break to prevent campus outbreaks, a good portion of students and others took matters into their own hands. Americans flooded South Florida beaches en masse, holding large parties in typical fashion as if the pandemic that is rapidly catching up with the 1918 […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer This article is a part of PantherNow’s opinion section “Pandemic and Me” series I have written extensively about the political and social impacts of this pandemic. However, I have yet to actually discuss the mental impacts. COVID-19 constructed an emotional highway in my head, just like so many others. Some days, I was sad. […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer Just over two short years ago, the Sunshine State elected its next governor, Ron DeSantis. Much to just about everyone’s surprise, Florida, in typical fashion, chose the Republican over the Democrat by just a handful of votes in a race widely expected to go the other way. But ever since that crushing […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer In America, politics have become so mainstream that we cannot avoid them even if we try. What our elders said should be reserved for serious matters is now a passive conversation topic. We probably know where most of our friends lean on the political spectrum and conversations have even turned to the […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer A surprise I never expected from the 2020s is a nor’easter-style winter blast in Texas. The land of God, guns, and pecan pie got pummeled this month, to the point where pipes were frozen, roads were slippery, and power was unattainable for days on end. Texans were under boil water orders when […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer It’s that time of year once again! While Thanksgiving remains my favorite holiday not predominantly for the food — well okay, that might be a lie — I really enjoy having fun conversations with my family to conclude another year of twists and turns, wins and losses. But given just how utterly […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Robert Crohan/Staff Writer The United States is a unique country in many ways. We encompass an array of cultures, climates, peoples, and ideologies within our vast lands. From Alaska to Florida, and Maine to California, we are united by the ideas of self-determination, hard work and freedom. However, we have seen how 2020 has damaged […]
