Bill O’ Reilly’s latest book “Killing Pod”, is about criticizing one major person; George S. Patton and his actions. Patton explained what his anti-Semitism views were but never to the public just his wife, Beatrice in diary entries or letters that were being sent back home. It was Patton’s job after the defeat of Germany to run the displaced-persons (DP) campus in southern Germany. Patton was the commanding officer at this time. He had said that they were treating these Jews as the Nazis had treated them except that they did not exterminate or measly kill them. Many were placed in concentration camps without choice. Patton actually had the idea to have military guards so that these Jews would constantly be under…

Many people know him as the funny and rugged face of comedy. He is Dane Cook. Sort of the anti-Mitch Hedberg. For others, he is a posterboy for an altogether different type of comedy: the plagiarizer, the man without a punchline. Personally, I have long held that Dane Cook is a performer and not a stand up comedian, in the way that Bob Villa was a TV show host and not a licensed contractor. For the better part of a decade, you couldn't be handed a transcript of a Dane Cook set, read it, and think it was funny. There just weren't any JOKES in the conventional sense, just a lot of stage direction and exclamation points where the punchlines should be. This technique, of course, has made Dane very successful, frequently selling out stadiums and…
On February 7th, 2017 Betsy DeVos was confirmed as the Secretary of Education. Betsy is a billionaire from Michigan who has little to no experience with education. The only experience she has with education is the schooling that she had taken part of when growing up. She never experienced education in the role of a professional educator. The Secretary of Education doesn’t mean much to most people but this cabinet position touches and deals with the education that is given to our youth and future. DeVos also has no experience with the disabled. She stated that she was unfamiliar with the law that protects the students with disabilities. Electing Betsy is a huge concern for myself and many others. As a future educator, I know and understand the…
Richard Pryor certainly was an interesting character! He set new standards for other African-American comedians but his idols were Bill Cosby and Dick Gregory. During the 1970s and '80s he provided America with some gut busting laughs and tears as we shared his personal life as well as his professional life.…
One of the most well known schemer and criminal of the white collar field was Bernie Madoff. The chameleon created an impression of being a nice and caring person at work, but ironically, deep down inside he was a deranged money hungry criminal. Many people could not believe the news they were hearing after he had confessed to the crimes he committed because he was really good at hiding the true person he was. He was a master at impression management. Quoted from Diana Goldberg “He was a hero to us, the head of NASDAQ. We were proud of everything he had accomplished”. They believed in him, he gained everyone’s trust by manipulating…

Here in the U.S. we think of an environmental activist as a person with a picket sign fighting to save the whales outside of Sea World. However, we do not realize there is a completely new meaning to the term being built in countries like Brazil, The Philippines, Mexico, and many more. Indigenous people are being slaughtered for protecting their homes and our earth. They are being hunted down and murdered without even a mention in the local news. Injustices are committed everyday not just to the land but to the people protecting it as well. So who are the real activist?…
Imagine waking up at 6 in the morning to go wait in line at a store for a day or two just to get a pair of sneakers, this is just one of many qualities in being a Hypebeast. At a first glance I may seem to be a very materialistic person who likes having things others do not have, yes that element is there, but being a Hypebeast is more than just a hobby for me, it is a lifestyle that has allowed me to make friendships, meet influential people, and help me find myself.…

“You can't have 100% security and then also have 100% privacy and zero inconvenience. Society had to make choices” said President Obama. It has become a given in society that it is on the government’s agenda to procure its nation’s safety in exchange of the privacy or freedom of the people. Edward Snowden, a paladin of social justice, has now come to light with outstanding facts as for what specifically it is that the National Security Agency (NSA) is able and willing to do for the country’s sake. Snowden, a 29-year-old NSA ex-employee, worked from Hawaii on his computer support for the recollection of data in bulk from the whole nation . Under the name of Verax, which means truth teller in Latin, he stated to have been a spy during his adult life . Snowden did not finish high school but did a general course in computer studies at a community college to later enroll in the military, where he was discharged for a supposed accident where he broke his legs . He landed his first job in government as a security guard for NSA and by 2007 he was stationed in Geneva by the CIA . Two-years after this, he left to be a private contractor and worked for Booz Allen, one of the world’s most profitable organizations , and later went rogue . Knowing about the usurpation of privacy committed by the government lights a worry in the masses, the doubt of the utility of surveillance and the profitability of it for the country’s safety.…
