Without supporters, Trump is just another crazed anarchist.
For the past few days, the news has been dominated by the seizing of the Capitol Building. We have been inundated with images and footage of what are essentially cultists desecrating one of the nations most sacred buildings. They are hard images to see. It’s hard to even comprehend that this happened in the United States. Yet, the cold reality is that it did happen. But as we move on from the nightmare that was January 6th, 2021 we must look to the future. We must now ask, what can we do to ensure that history does not repeat itself?

All it took was a very expensive wedding.
Recently my fiancee and I set a date for our wedding. I proposed in October 2019. But if I’m being honest, I only did so to make her happy. I don’t see what the difference between being married and not being married is for a couple like us. But I love her, and I’m willing to do anything to put a smile on her face. So I decided it was time to ask her when and where she’d like to get married.
After what seemed like an eternity of venue shopping, I wrote a check for one payment for the…
Party loyalty has become a nationwide cancer
There is a lingering problem in American politics today. For months the public was made to believe that Democrats were the heroes our country needed to get rid of Trump and actually make America great again. We’ve were pushed to vote blue on promises of $2000 stimulus checks and proper handling of COVID-19. All these empty promises have shed light on the cancer that is party loyalty. One that’s spreading through our country with no signs of slowing down.
We’ve reached a point in our society where many either see all Republicans as evil or all Democrats as evil. There…
Something tells me the Biden children never had to sign loan documents before
President Biden recently gave his first CNN town hall interview. It was all standard fanfare. The majority of people lobbed softball questions at him, to which he replied with his usual charming answers. Eventually, he received a question to which he had no sly come back. A question that put his back to the wall and forced out his true feelings on student loan forgiveness. When asked if he’d be willing to make the fabled proposal of a $50,000 student forgiveness protest happen, Biden responded with the following:
“I will not make it happen.”
Biden has had his work cut…
SPOILER ALERT: He wouldn’t be happy.
Created by Jack Kirby and Joe Simon in 1941, Steve Rodgers (Captain America) was meant to be the embodiment of everything the United States represents. He has always reflected our nation’s rhetoric of never giving up, even when all hope is lost. By being devoted to doing the right thing at all costs, even if it’s unpopular. With this in mind, I began to wonder. If Captain America were a real person, what would he think of our country today?
The second impeachment of Donald Trump is over. Big surprise, a huge group of cowards decided to acquit him. I’ll…
Yes, you’ll have to socialize.
Being an introvert can really suck sometimes. It can feel like you’re missing out on life. Personally, there’s been times when friends would invite me out and I would skip. I’d wake up the next morning and find social media posts of an amazing night I forced myself to miss. The idea of putting myself out there and socializing with random people just doesn’t appeal to me. I would much rather stay home with a good book or story-driven video game instead of socializing with people I don’t know.
But when I realized my fiance was missing out on her…
Congress is nothing more than a millionaires club
We’ve heard for months about an upcoming $2000 stimulus check. In January, it was instilled into our brains that so long as both of Georgia’s Senate seats were won by Democrats, an immediate relief bill would be passed. The struggling people of the United States would finally receive some meaningful help. And in January, the good people of Georgia ripped the Senate majority position from Mitch McConnell’s cold hands and pulled off what many believed to be impossible. …
I learned more in one month of writing than I have in 28 years.
It’s been a weird few years for me. I’m 28, have my master's degree in criminal justice, a loving fiance, and a pretty good life. One thing I’m struggling with, however, is finding a career and a place to belong in this world. Currently, I’m working at a family company and I hate it. It just feels like I’m stuck in a rut and can’t seem to find my way out. But one day, while fighting through a bout of depression I inadvertently stumbled upon a YouTube video. It explained how to make money on Medium by writing. My professors…
Maybe he was useful for something after all
Lately, I’ve been wondering why I suddenly find myself so invested in politics. I have a masters in criminology and genuinely love educating myself on various subjects. But throughout college and even graduate school, I could never seem to care much about the political world. Politics have always been boring to me. I simply could not become invested in anything that even remotely included politics, so I naturally lacked a proper education on the subject. But Donald J. Trump changed that. …
It’s time for Congress to stop ignoring the economic inequalities in our country
We’ve all heard about the GameStop stock price skyrocketing due to a Reddit group collectively organizing to drive up the price. At this point it’s no secret that what’s occurring on Wall Street is monumental. So much so that trading platform Robinhood halted the buying of several stocks to try and combat this organized attack. Even Congress has taken notice and is beginning talks on how to properly address the event. The likely outcome of this fiasco will either end in lawmakers changing the rules to the stock market game or the GameStop stock plummeting to new lows. But the…
