‘We have the exact wrong fiscal policy’: Paul Ryan criticizes inflation response

Ryan Peters | Wednesday, September 21, 2022

Paul Ryan knew it was time to move on after 20 years in the House of Representatives. Two terms as the youngest speaker of the House since 1869 was enough for Ryan, who did not seek re-election in 2019. “My last two terms were Speaker of the House, which is such a consuming job that

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, March 10, 2021

“And all the people took off the gold rings that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. This he took from them and cast in a mold, and made it into a golden calf. And they exclaimed, ‘This is your god, O Israel, who brought you out of the land of Egypt!’” (Exodus

The GOP’s existential crisis

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, February 10, 2021

It’s interesting to see history on the cusp of repeating itself.  We saw the rise of our nation’s first two major political parties in the election of 1796, which featured candidates from the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republican Party, factions that vehemently opposed each other’s platforms. Over time, the Democratic-Republicans became the modern Democratic Party.

To Republican leadership

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, September 30, 2020

To: Republican Leadership You are understandably eager to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s seat. Along with the numerous other judicial appointments under the current administration, a 6-3 conservative majority on the highest court in the land would surely enact the agenda you have been struggling to implement for years. However, I cannot emphasize

Have you no shame?

Mary Szromba | Wednesday, September 25, 2019

Shame can be a useful tool for unlearning behavior. For example, today I felt some shame when I was somehow late to every class despite the fact they were all in the same building. Hopefully, the shame I felt today will prompt me to be on time tomorrow, and in this way it will help

La Búsqueda de la Felicidad

Devon Chenelle | Monday, February 22, 2016

When Donald Trump announced his presidential campaign last June, he declared if elected president “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border. And I will have Mexico pay.” Since then, each Republican candidate has scrambled to match Trump’s proposal’s bombastic fury. Interestingly, America and immigration appear so inseparable that a primary process

Trump unstump’d

Devon Chenelle | Monday, January 25, 2016

One of the most memorable scenes in 2008 film The Dark Knight depicts Batman’s first encounter with the Joker. Upon viewing the gory video announcing the Joker’s entry into Gotham, Bruce Wayne despairs to his butler, Alfred, that the Mob “crossed the line” allying with a madman. Alfred replies with characteristic insight, telling Batman “you

Tim Scanlan | Wednesday, April 8, 2015

A large Republican presidential field is shaping up with candidates from all corners of the political right vying for the chance to face off against the established Democratic candidate. Ah, 2012!
