If I had to choose only one classic book to hold onto for the rest of my life, it would easily be “Pride and Prejudice” by Jane Austen. Not for the sole reason of it being a romance novel, although I do appreciate the type of cherished love that Elizabeth Bennet and Darcy Fitzwilliam share, but to keep it simple, […]

I’m not a Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, or anything along the ideological spectrum, because I don’t conform to mainstream political labels. And you shouldn’t either. Ideologies are too unstable. Political ideologies have changed in the past. We have seen this with the party switch between Republicans and Democrats. And political ideologies will change again.

Most books that have movie adaptations, I read and watch both — in whichever order. Now, very few of these movies exceeded or at least lived up to the book because we all know that it’s impossible to squeeze hundreds of pages worth of details into a two-hour movie. But there are a few that come close. “Divergent” is one […]

We live in a society that is constantly changing which requires us to learn to adapt quickly — or get left behind. Over the last two years, strange deviations from our “normal” lives can be chalked up to a direct cause of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The United States is currently far from united. Political polarization has caused a great divide between Republicans and Democrats. Although the U.S. has many threats, none have taken the heart of America captive like polarization. According to the New York Times, 42% of people in each party would describe the other party as “downright evil,” which was found in a […]

One of the most intriguing dynamics of American politics recently is the way a politician might manipulate religion to influence their prominence. This fraudulent portrayal of faith is anti-gospel. Religious citizens (specifically Christians) must know how to see through the veil of politicized religion, and vote accordingly. For news organization The Conversation, Jerome Viala-Gaudefroy contends that the modern era has […]
