Don Cherry, a Canadian hockey coach, commentator, and icon, was recently fired from his position on Hockey Night in Canada, after almost 40 years of working in the industry. Because of a “racist” comment, the beloved figure is disappearing from our TV screens, due to the fact that the modern worl...
Unexpected Expectations
Enoch Orozco, Reporter
December 4, 2019
Expectations: a belief that someone will or should achieve something. These beliefs, reasonable or unreasonable, cause stress. No matter how healthy one is, or how old, expectations will cause stress. Normally, people say their stress comes from parents, or bosses, or even their peers. However, an u...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is exactly what this franchise needed to redirect the series back into the spotlight of greatness. Despite the flaws and bugs this game has launched with, it is currently my favorite Call of Duty because of the direction of gameplay, story, and that sweet new game engine....

I was desperate. I needed a book to read for my English class. I was pillaging through the sad three bookcases of Brashier, when I found the book. THE BOOK. I had no idea at the time it would be that good; I simply read the back cover and said “good enough.” Let me just say that I finished the bo...
Catholicism: the OG Christianity
Allie Weber, Reporter
October 23, 2019
Catholicism, known as the universal religion, is practiced by over 1.2 billion people worldwide. With its capital in one of the largest cities in the world and its leader, Pope Francis, being a Twitter icon, I find it difficult to believe that so little is known or understood about Catholicism by those of o...

When you think of 2K Games as a company, you probably think of them as the publishers of the Borderlands franchise and the makers of the NBA 2K franchise. In my opinion, however, they are actually one of the greediest companies in the gaming industry right next to Electronic Arts and Activision Blizzard. N...

Nothing makes acts of police brutality okay but not enough attention to the good things police do daily for their communities is not okay either. The bad aspects of a cops job are constantly pushed into the media to spread throughout the public. This can give a terrible image of cops in general, causi...
Too Close For Comfort

On January 22nd, New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo signed and passed the Reproductive Health Act, which allows abortions of unborn children during the mother’s third trimester, up until her due date. I, myself am against abortion all together, so as one might imagine, the thought of this being legal in the United States, irks me to my core. Typically, abortions occur between eight to twelve weeks of pregnancy, b...

Fake friends are like snake venom...toxic. “What is a fake friend?” you may ask; a “friend” who is only interested in his/her own needs, does not actually care for anyone else’s feelings, and takes every single action to please himself/herself without worrying about the effects it has on others is class...
