Annoy the Police?

By Patrick McAuliffe In the midst of the surge in protests on BU’s campus, a new law is under consideration by Broome County legislators. This Thursday, November 21st, BC lawmakers will vote on a bill that makes “annoy[ing], alarm[ing], or threaten[ing]” emergency responders, including police officers, a criminal act – an “unclassified misdemeanor,” in fact. The penalties for this “harassment” are steep: up to one year in jail and/or up to a $5,000 fine. Unlike…

Income Inequality is Amazing

By Jake García-Falchook   “Today, we live in the richest country in the history of the world, but that reality means little because much of that wealth is controlled by a tiny handful of individuals. The issue of wealth and income inequality is the great moral issue of our time, it is the great economic issue of our time, and it is the great political issue of our time. America now has more wealth and…

LeBron James is a Pussy Ass Bitch

By Paul Pot   Hello guys, gals, and other mental illness pals, I’m going to drop a straight truth bomb on you, so if that scares you, now is your first and last chance to turn away. If you text from an Apple device, watch the NBA, play Overwatch, or watch movies distributed by Paramount, you support oppression and everything else wrong with this god forsaken world. Why, you may ask? China. Let me catch…

The Monster Under Your Bed

By Bryn Lauer   Sometimes I am afraid to dangle my feet off the edge of my bed. I don’t know where this irrational fear comes from, most likely lingering childhood fears from the fascinating brain of a young girl. Kid or not, when it comes to things of the unknown, man has a God-given gift of discernment. Just as something inside me warns that the darkness under my bed contains unforeseen dangers, humanity fears…

The Ghost of Chinese Censorship

By Harold Rook   You know what? I’m going to do something edgy today! But what edgy thing can I do that I haven’t done before? Hmm, I already spent the past week making jokes about the Democrat presidential debates (like watching ten old grandparents nudging each other with canes over a bowl of spilled oatmeal) and Antifa (the literal embodiment of ironic Blackshirts). No, I need something new, something that truly deserves the public…

Impeachment Within Reach

By Joe Badalamenti President Donald Trump, love him or hate him, has become the most dynamic figure of this decade, so much so that the primary platform of the Democratic Party has become his impeachment. Fortunately for the Democrats, an unlikely scandal involving the Ukrainian Government has given them their chance. But what really happened with this scandal? Was this a big brain move by the Democrats, or will the Democrats eagerness to impeach hinder…

Mo Money Mo Problems

By Bryn Lauer According to the 2015-16 census of data.nysed.gov, 5,491 students from kindergarten to 12th grade attend Binghamton Public School District, with 75% of those students considered economically disadvantaged. This comes with no surprise as, according to 2019 data, 1 in every 3 persons in Binghamton are below the poverty line. Even roughly 50% of kids enrolled in nursery school are extremely disadvantaged. Off the bat this lowers Binghamton student’s chances for success. “Poverty…

Climate in Crisis?

By Kevin Vorrath Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few weeks you’ve likely heard of the climate strikes being organized around the country and the world, as well as right here in Binghamton. Large crowds of people are out demanding dramatic action be taken to “save” the environment before we hit a climate doomsday, but when you examine the statistics, our environment is better off than we are often led to…

The Firearms that Shaped America, Part 1

By: John Restuccia Our country is facing incredibly turbulent times. It seems as though everyday on social media one will be bombarded with information overload.

Everyone has a stance on gun control nowadays. It doesn’t matter whether you have used a firearm or if you have any background on firearms…

The Importance of the Trade War

By: Jake García-Falchook Right now in China, millions of Uighur Muslims are locked in concentration camps where they are converted away from their heritage, against their will. Right now in China, the people of Hong Kong are bravely fighting for independence but are actively being suppressed by a government clearly trying to take away freedoms. Right now in China, hundreds of billions of dollars (up to $600 Billion/year) of intellectual property are being stolen from…

Jeffrey Epstein was Definitely Suicided

By: Franklin Wilson Jeffery Epstein died early last month of an apparent suicide, but due to the suspicious circumstances of his death, many people (myself included) believe that Epstein was murdered, or “suicided”. The term “suicided,” which many truthers have used in reference to Epstein’s death, means a murder that is made to look like a suicide. The reason for making a murder seem like a suicide is so that it won’t be investigated.  Epstein…
