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 …
Students feel disappointment and uncertainty following Trump’s election
Share: As Aaron Iniguez saw the results come in for the election Tuesday night, he wasn’t surprised at President Trump being re-elected — but the margin by which Trump won the popular vote took him aback. “I was really disappointed with how Kamala performed [from] seeing her campaign,” said Iniguez, who is a political science major at PCC. “I already knew she was gonna perform lackluster and less than favorable. Overall, it was not surprising — but the numbers were very surprising.” Iniguez, 19, identifies …
Confident and fearless Kamala Harris commands the debate stage
Share: On Tuesday night, expectations for Kamala Harris were very high and the bar was just as low after witnessing the June 27th CNN debate where Biden delivered less-than-satisfactory answers. Harris’ presence at the debate was a crucial win for the democratic party but as the only presidential debate scheduled before elections in November, her crafty attacks and calm composure could positively impact voters and redirect the course of this nation. Americans and the rest of the world were able to see the two sides …
‘The Apprentice’: Trump may have been fired but the circus never ends
Share: After years of speculation, controversy, and delays, the Donald Trump biopic ‘The Apprentice’ has finally secured U.S. distribution and is set to hit theaters this fall—just weeks before the 2024 presidential election. Now let’s be honest, no matter what your opinion is, Sebastian Stan’s toupeed head is not going to be the thing to save us all from another four years of Trump. On the surface, the timing feels like a marketing masterstroke. Whether you love or loathe Trump, he is one of the …
It’s still Trump’s party, even if he didn’t show up
Share: We are months away from the Republican primaries, but last month, some of the GOP nominees held their first debate. While the race is long, it’s almost certain that former President Donald Trump doesn’t have any serious contenders for the nomination. Long election cycles give an illusion that anything can happen in party dynamics. The Democratic nominees that debated in 2019 didn’t know about COVID-19 or the summer of 2020’s Black Lives Matter protests. However, no amount of time guarantees the change of a …

SNL debate satire almost as absurd as real life
Share: “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) premiered it’s 46th season impeccably timed to feature Hurricane Biden V. Trump as it’s cold open. The show’s first live broadcast, after a 6-month break spurred on by COVID-19, did not fail to amuse. Alec Baldwin reprised his role as Donald Trump while the wacky Jim Carrey starred as Joe Biden during the skit. From Baldwin’s constant interruptions and Carrey’s depiction of what can only be interpreted as Biden’s internal struggle to keep composure, the performance certainly captured the disaster …
Haircuts can kill: America not ready to reopen
Share: Is getting a haircut, or a few hours of fun in an amusement park, really more important than saving lives? Protests against the COVID-19 ‘safer at home’ orders have spread across the nation, and the concerns expressed couldn’t be more disingenuous and outrageous. These protestors claim they are exercising their First Amendment right, which allows them to voice their demands like reopening amusement parks and other superficial places like hair salons. This is a terrible move on the part of the protestors. The only …
