So the London Bridge is, in fact, not falling down. If you remember the lead-up to and aftermath of the Brexit vote, you might remember different pundits and news organizations decrying the ‘Leave’ vote and openly worrying about England’s future. The New York Times was openly trying to play up the idea that the vote was leading to an increase in violence and xenophobia, John Oliver was trying to…

We’ve all had IT problems at some point in our lives. Eventually, you’ll have to ask for someone else’s help in navigating technology properly. Just a tip though: make sure your IT guy isn’t getting advice from places like Reddit. Especially if you happen to be the former Secretary of State. An interesting plot line in the ever-growing story of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email…

Things have gotten pretty lopsided in the media lately, with media outlets openly criticizing Republican nominee Donald Trump for using the word “bomb” in reference to Saturday's bombings in New York and New Jersey. An MSNBC host even said that we were “lucky” the attacker used explosives and not guns. Now, we are apparently at a point where media outlets are openly changing direct quotes as…

Would you like to join a “Conversation with Chelsea” at Penn State University? Great! That will be $500, please. Minimum. Students at Penn State were told Chelsea Clinton would be appearing at the State College Democratic Coordinated Campaign Headquarters for two events. One of the events was a phone bank while the other was a “Conversation with Chelsea.” The phone bank was free of charge.…

We’ve learned quite a lot about what new things can be considered offensive, from “oriental” salad dressing, to a cartoon frog, and Jimmy Fallon ruffling Donald Trump’s hair. But now you can put another item on that list: the original American flag. I really wish I was making this up. The controversy began during a football game between Forest Hills Central High School (a predominately white…

Last night, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump did what many candidates for president do and appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The otherwise normal affair included one pretty standout moment when Trump agreed to let Fallon mess up his hair. Although he almost seemed a bit hesitant at first, Fallon eventually leaned over and ruffled the billionaire’s hair, much to the…

Trying not to offend someone these days is really hard apparently. When you do, it’s often those people shouting for peace and calm that like to assault people they disagree with. Probably the most hilarious way of offending someone, however, is when they are offended that you aren’t offended by something! That’s exactly what happened to model Christine Teigen earlier this week. As was also…

Last week, the University of California at Berkeley’s College Republican group was berated and assaulted by a group of liberal activists for the apparent crime of daring to have a different opinion than them. Now, can you guess who UC Berkeley has pegged to be their commencement speaker? That’s right! It’s Jorge Ramos. To be more specific, the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism announced…

Ever seen a former head of state beat open a piñata of another potential head of state? Well, now you have. Former Mexican President Vicente Fox has been nothing if not clear in his disdain of Donald Trump, in the past referring to him as “crazy," a “false prophet," and even managing to throw in a comparison to Hitler for good measure. Now, however, Fox is taking his dislike of the Republican…

If you’re a fan of Futurama, you’ve probably seen the wonderful quote from Bender pop up on the internet: “The whole world must learn of our peaceful ways… By force!” This quote perfectly encapsulates the mindset of liberals these days, specifically the ones in my generation (millennials). Always quick to preach about love and tolerance, but the second you don’t conform to their way of thinking…
