Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Heya Evan! Evan Wang: Hey, Sadie. How’s your semester winding down? Sadie: “Winding” doesn’t seem very fitting. A better question would be: How is it crashing down in flames? Evan: Wow, I sure am going to miss your pessimism this summer. What will I do ...
May is just around the corner and with it comes the beginning of AAPI Month. This convoluted acronym officially stands for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. However, in my experience, you’ll be hard-pressed to find many Americans, much less Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, actually celebrating an event dedicated to them. AAPI Month remains a useless holiday used to virtue signal fake acceptance of these populations as part of the “diverse” American dream.
On a quiet summer day in 1978, then-40-year-old medical photographer Janet Parker came down with chicken pox, or so she thought. Within nine days, Parker was admitted to the hospital, being too sick to stand. She had developed sores that covered her body, blinded her eyes and caused renal failure. During this horrifying ordeal, Parker’s father suffered cardiac arrest due to stress and died, while Parker’s boss committed suicide, believing he had allowed the virus to leak from the lab where he and Parker worked. Soon, Parker developed pneumonia and could no longer respond verbally. Exactly a month after her symptoms first appeared, Janet passed away.
Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Heya, Evan. Evan Wang: Hey, Sadie. How’s your week been? Sadie: Oh, you know, the usual. This week has been too long, and this weekend has been too short. Evan: Speaking of short things, Cory Booker’s speech certainly wasn’t. Sadie: Somehow, I just know you have something ...
Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Heya Evan! How was your spring break? Evan Wang: Hey Sadie! Mine was good, I went to D.C. and saw a major protest on the National Mall. Sadie: Wow, a protest? In D.C.? Never heard of that happening. Wonder what they’re all riled up over. Evan: I ...
President Donald Trump recently proclaimed that U.S. schools are “last in education out of 40 [countries],” but “No. 1 in cost per pupil.” Despite both of these statements being false, Trump is clearly determined to lift our nation’s failing public education system out of the gutters. More than one in three public school students are behind in grade level, while around half of Americans say K-12 education is going in the wrong direction.
Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Evan, what’s the difference between an expired pie and this year’s New York mayoral election? Evan Wang: What? Sadie: Nothing, they’re both full of rotten apples. Evan: I’m going to quit the column. Sadie: Jokes aside, a probable Cuomo-Adams off seems like just ...
Sadie Roraback-Meagher: Heya there Evan! Evan Wang: Hey Sadie! Sadie: I hope your week has been good so far. I don’t know about you, but for me, looking at the news this past week has been … what’s the word? Panic inducing? Nauseating? Just flat-out horrifying? But hey, at least that ...
Every president makes mistakes while in office, no matter the overall achievement of their term. Former President Barack Obama famously left office having failed in his campaign promise to close the Guantanamo Bay facility, and former President Woodrow Wilson exited the White House unable to convince the United States to join the League of Nations, which he created. Now after four hard years at the helm, former President Joe Biden has also left office with a black mark on his record:Venezuela.
After Nov. 5, the Democratic Party was quick to point fingers at who lost them the election, with their targets ranging from vice-presidential pick Tim Walz to current President Joe Biden, to racist and sexist Americans. While the Democrats continue their endless blame game, it has become apparent to the rest of America that citizens are tired of Democratic governance.
