    Political stances are like a belief system to some Americans.

A car by our campus was seen with a sticker that displayed the…

  • Never Trump never Walsh

    Serving as the second official Republican presidential nominee running against Donald Trump in the 2020 primaries following Bill Weld’s April announcement, Joe Walsh is merely an escape for Republicans in toxic shock from the Trump presidency.

  • Don’t allow political parties to divide America

    There is no longer such a thing as bi-partisanship or even non-partisanship anymore in our society. Everything has a political agenda. This applies to local school boards, county offices and propositions. Washington D.C. is experiencing a time of extreme partisanship and polarization that trickles down to even the average citizen– and student. The goals…

    Have you recently been approached by Anti-Terror Expert Erran Morad? Or perhaps former convict Rick Sherman? What about any other suspicious people that seemed too outrageous to be real? No?
