Share: It’s not the first time we, the public, experience anxiety due to an upcoming flight. The typical concerns revolve around preparation and transportation to the airport; should we pack another pair of shoes, check-in a bag or take a small carry-on? At worst, the biggest fear is usually a delayed flight, that was until we started seeing reports of doors flying out in mid air, and aircrafts losing their landing gear last year. To make matters worse, President Trump has made the foolish decision …
Political Dissident: We are all puppets in an oligarchical playground
Share: It has been a month since Donald Trump took office as president of the United States. In that month, he has signed upwards of 65 executive orders, has threatened to take over multiple countries, and has given more authority to a South African billionaire than ever before seen in US politics. Trump has precisely and effectively whittled down those in the white house who may disagree with him, and has surrounded himself in unprecedented ways with yes men who will bow down to …
Cynthia Erivo was never the problem, it’s the blasphemy of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’
Share: Cynthia Erivo of “Wicked” fame has been under fire for her role of Jesus Christ in an upcoming Hollywood Bowl production, but it isn’t her fault. That blame falls on the casting director and the heads of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, who see religion as a joke feeding off the controversy they get for their blasphemous decisions. Religion in Hollywood is always such a hypocritical subject, they either show respect in order to avoid having their films banned in certain regions or ignore them because …
DOGE-Ball: Loyalty is the name of the game
Share: Donald Trump and his administration have once again pushed the boundaries of political power with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which eerily mirrors the actions a fascist would take in attempting a coup d’etat. Within a month, Musk, the world’s richest man, and his team have cut, fired, and dismantled government programs and employees, all in the name of cost-cutting. However, DOGE is really just a fast-paced plan to deconstruct the government and rebuild it into an entity with nothing but unyielding …
Joe Biden’s pardon of his son is mired in hypocrisy
Share: Joe Biden’s recent pardoning of his son Hunter Biden for his federal tax evasion and illegal firearm possession is disgraceful and a stain to the democratic party. It is incredibly evident that Biden does not care for the integrity of his party or for himself anymore considering it is highly unlikely he will ever run for president again, it seems he just doesn’t care about his presidential promises now that he is exiting office. Hunter Biden was accused of illegally purchasing a firearm in …
Trump lied about Project 25 but welcoming all its goons into the White House
Share: Trump has likely lied once again, but the revelation is horrifying more so than it is obvious. This new lie of his revolves around Project 2025, a conservative wishlist written by various authors. The conservative initiative was published by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that has rejected fighting against climate change, believes that the Black Lives Matter organization is a Marxist insurgency ploy, and has less than positive views on critical race theory. It isn’t too hard to understand why anyone who …
15 minutes of fame was all ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl needed to scam her fans
Share: Coming as a shock to absolutely no one, this past Wednesday, Dec. 4, just hours after announcing the launch of her memecoin, $HAWK, Haliey Welch, better known as “Hawk Tuah Girl,” was accused of “misleading” and “betraying” investors following the cryptocurrency’s sudden nosedive in value. After this, Hawk Tuah Girl’s extended 15 minutes of fame should probably be over, but as history has shown, the public simply doesn’t care about cryptocurrency scams. The 22-year-old, who skyrocketed to fame after her appearance in the viral …

One particularly important aspect of our library’s unique and helpful features is the organization of the three floors, with the third (upper floor) being reserved for silent study, with the prohibition of talking or excessive noise. Yet even with this simple rule set in place, some still manage to …
Sabrina Carpenter isn’t your kid’s mom
Share: The backlash Sabrina Carpenter has faced due to her seemingly provocative performance is unfounded and misogynistic and is no different from the criticism many other women in pop culture face. Carpenter’s recent performance at the VMAs has been touted as overtly sexual and riddled with cursing and inappropriate gestures in between music sets.These “inappropriate gestures” include kissing a background dancer dressed as an alien and making a joke in between sets regarding oral sex. While these kinds of outlandish and sexual jokes are nothing …
Trump’s secret donors prove America needs to stop electing liars
Share: With Donald Trump recently keeping his presidential transition donors a secret, he continues to push the boundaries of how unpresidential a singular man can be, and he doesn’t give a damn at all. Regardless of how much of a troglodyte Trump is, the public needs to also focus attention to whom he keeps in his circle. Especially since they hold just as much (if not more) power than Trump has, and many of them also enjoy the luxury of obscurity. Trump has been keeping …
