By Comrade Casey Every day, I check my iPhone and read about another racist, disgusting atrocity the government has committed. Corrupt cops target disadvantaged groups with reckless abandon. Our hapless, useless mayors and legislators stand idly by, catering to special interests instead of their constituents. Of course, these horrible police and politicians are the same people who should have complete control over the economy. As Commissar of Binghamton College Communists, I will unflinchingly advocate for…
Abortion is a Basic Human Right
By Tommy Gagliano I’ve been doing some thinking after reading the email sent out by the SA on March 13th. It made me realize that there is nothing more important than feelings. It’s also made me realize that womyn, people of color, and LGBTQAAIP2SSLMNOP?@#厶戈月8=D~+ individuals are oppressed by our patriarchal, heteronormative, white supremacist society, and I (as a straight white male) need to become an ally and cater to their every whim. There are so…
OhioH NOOO
By Kayla Jimenez What an exciting time for state and local governments! The 2018 midterm elections are just around the corner. While I could write about people running in New York, Broome County, or anywhere within 600 miles of Binghamton, I’m instead going to write about a gubernatorial candidate from Ohio: Dennis Kucinich. Never heard of him? Me neither! Dennis Kucinich is a Democrat with an interesting political history. He became the Mayor of Cleveland…
Trump Said What?!
By Tom Sheremetta It’s been crystal clear for a while now that Trump has no filter. Throughout his presidency, we’ve been introduced to a plethora of sayings that are indeed unorthodox for a president. Some think it’s funny, while some think it’s non-presidential and childish. We see these debates of how people feel about Trump’s rhetoric on a daily basis in our lives, whether it be Chelsea Handler calling Trump an asshole through visuals or…
This Article is a Tide Ad
By Patrick McAuliffe This might be old news, but if I get the chance to use laundry detergent as an argument for limited government, you can be sure I’m jumping on it. I’ll also try to avoid using any sort of “turning the Tide” pun in the course of my writing. However, I think you’d agree that “cleaning up government overregulation” is perfectly fine. Alright, I’ll get to it. Tide pods, the Forbidden Snack (™)…
The New Culture Club Band
By Jason Caci The United States has an economy that relies mostly on imported goods. Unlike the United States, countries such as Germany, Japan, and China produce high quality material. Of course, one will point out that the United States still has the highest GDP in the world. However, China will lead the world in GDP in approximately twenty-five years. Not only will it lead the world in GDP, but it will accelerate at such…
Tariff Trouble: A Tale of Trade, Trump and Turmoil
By Jordan Jardine President Trump got into an interesting exchange with Swedish prime minister Stefan Lofven during a press conference the two leaders gave at the White House on Tuesday, March 6. The point of contention: President Trump’s proposal to slap steel and aluminum imports with heavy tariffs. The Hill reported on that same day that several Republicans and many of Trump’s own advisors took issue with the president’s idea. Despite this, Trump plans to…
President Trump’s (New) Worst Week So Far
By Matthew Rosen My first article at the beginning of this school year had the same title as this one. In that article, I described President Trump’s first bad week in the White House, as I described how he fumbled the ball on the budget and DACA. Unfortunately this week, the things he has said and done has made the budget/DACA debacle look like a great week, as he royally messed up drugs, guns, and…
Shots and Giggles: The aftermath of Stoneman Douglas
By David Keptsi In the wake of the Stoneman Douglas shooting there has been increased public demand for the federal government to tighten gun control regulation in hopes that such a tragedy would never happen again.This is a highly sensitive issue and my heart genuinely goes out to the victims of the shooting which I have found to be a sentiment shared by people on both sides of the aisle. Although some piece of shit…
Well, There You Have It…
By Diogenes of Sinope Well there you have it! President Donald John Trump was bestowed by members of the American Political Science Association (APSA) the title of the worst president in United States’ history. APSA members were asked by Professor Brandon Rottinghaus of the University of Houston and Professor Justin S. Vaughn of Boise State University to rate the “greatness” of our nation’s presidents for the 2018 Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness Survey. One…
