Bernie or bust is broken
Share: Bernie was destined to lose and now he stands no chance of winning the nomination. The best thing he can do for his supporters is become the speaker of the house, claiming the power he was never going to earn through a presidency. Follow:
What oil war? Why California doesn’t care
Share: With California being the top consumer of fuel additives, which helps maintain the highest standards for fuel emissions, California, logically, would be expected to be hit hard by the recent oil war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. That’s simply not the case though, and Californian residents should rest easy, knowing the two bickering nations will have no effect on their next trip to get gas. Follow:
Editorial: PCC gives up on its students during crisis

Trump’s animal advocacy is fake news
Share: Nov. 2019 was a bright year for animals nationwide when President Donald Trump passed the PACT (Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture) Act, but not for animals worldwide since they are paying the price for this facade. For the first time in United States history, a law was passed making animal cruelty a federal felony. The PACT Act strictly protects companion animals within the U.S. which left many people asking, what about other mammals around the world? Most shocking is the fact that President Trump …
Throw the caucus away
Share: In a crowded gym in Iowa, three people huddle up to decide a game of chance. An object is tossed in the air and all eyes are on it. Knowing that their team needs to win this, the object is caught, and the game begins. Believe it or not, this is not a basketball game at your local gym, but a part of Iowa’s democratic process—an actual coin toss for delegates. Iowa, the first major contest holder of the presidential primary season, is one …
Trump negotiates with terrorists
Share: President Donald Trump is dead wrong when he says that the recent peace agreement with the Taliban is a victory for the United States. The ink on the February 29 agreement wasn’t even dry when Taliban forces resumed attacks on Afghan government troops. Just days after calling the pact a great day for America, Trump conceded that it is highly likely that Taliban insurgents will overrun the Afghan National Security Forces and retake control of the country. Surely, a terrifying thought for many Afghani’s, …
Proposition 13 costs too much for so little
Share: 42 percent of a $26 billion bond measure is way too much to pay in interest. That’s the real story behind the new (but not really improved) Proposition 13, the education bond measure on the March 3 ballot. Anyone familiar with the original Proposition 13, which was passed in 1978 will not recognize this one which, if passed, would stick California voters with a huge bill over the next 35 years. This year’s Proposition 13 will not be paid for with proposition taxes as …
America’s top parasite should watch the film he mocked
Share: Trump mocking a foreign film that won Best Picture is about as entitled as someone can get. The 2019 South Korean film “Parasite” became the Best Picture winner of the 2020 Oscars. This historic moment went on to be praised upon as one of the greatest Best Picture wins. That is until one man, who is the President of the United States, decides to put the film on blast for its win. President Trump talked about “Parasite” and its historic win at a rally …
Bloomberg may be rich, but he’s a poor choice
Share: Michael Bloomberg, the 12th wealthiest man in the world, seems to think he can buy his way into the Oval Office. His advertisements are incessant, and his budget appears to have no ceiling. But simply having money does not mean Bloomberg is entitled to the Democratic nomination, especially when he has spent his career supporting racist policies and harassing women that work for him. The billionaire former Mayor of New York City is personally funding his own presidential campaign, and has already spent a …
