Bullets whiz past the heads of soldiers crouched in their bunkers, bombs exploding, men screaming.  Planes roar overhead and suspense builds as the men on the ground wait to find out if those planes are friendly or not.  Bullets rain down from the sky, peppering the enemy.  The victors celebrate, but only momentarily; the celebration stops when they see...
Imagine the following scenario: You’re sitting in Math class, filling out a worksheet, when you get a text. Instead of waiting or trying to look at your phone while keeping it hidden under your desk, you simply glance at your wrist. A notification has popped up on your watch, informing you that your friend has your iPad that you left...
It is rumored that Donald Trump came out of his mother’s womb sporting his iconic blonde comb-over toupee. Simply put, that is only a rumor; what is not, however, is Trump’s position in the GOP. He leads the polls, well ahead of the other candidates. Why? It’s because he’s a no BS kind of guy, who does things his...

Since the beginning of his sixteen year long seat in the House of...
Hillary Clinton. That name alone elicits strong reactions from people all over the political spectrum, with universal disgust on the right, enthusiastic support from the center-left, and disappointment from the far left. But by the end of the day, on November 8, 2016, it'll most likely be her name on the ballot getting tens of millions of votes—and she may very well...
Fun fact: you can be a justice of the U.S Supreme Court, so can anyone else on the planet, a dog, or even a rock.  This is obviously a comical interpretation of the Constitution; a dog will never become a Supreme Court justice.  The reason that all of the justices have been humans with some legal training is because...
