Andrew Oliver Staff Writer I’m not someone who believes in going easy on any politician. They are all, supposedly, civil servants, and they should all be held accountable for the mistakes they make. When Hillary Clinton’s email scandal came about, I was not one of the people who believed it was a frivolous investigation or a distraction from real issues. That being said, the attacks … Continue reading Emails! Emails! Emails!

Following the cancellation of the events, there was a heated debate across the nation about free speech on college … Continue reading Division within the Youth: Free Speech

Nicholas Tyler Staff Writer We find ourselves in something of a dilemma lately. We have a president who is incapable of leading the nation in any real sense of the word.

This … Continue reading Fire with Fire vs. Darkness with Light
