Is It Time for the Church to Take on Climate Change?

Ejection of Breitbart Reporter from Beto Speech is Inconsistent with Democracy
I just saw the news, that a Breitbart reporter, Joel B. Pollak, who actually is Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News, was ejected, apparently for no valid reason (he wasn't being disruptive, though his mere presence was deemed as such) from a Beto O'Rourke speech at Benedict College.

A Fabricated Recession?
BRYCE ON POLITICS - Is the timing too much of a coincidence? Click for AUDIO VERSION. I have been hearing about an impending recession, which my Democrat friends insist will happen either later this year or in 2020. The media reports likewise, and I suspect these prognosticators will become louder as we get closer to the 2020 election. On the other hand, Republicans are at a loss as to what all the hubbub is all about, as our economy is still chugging along just fine. One cannot help but wonder if this is real or politically motivated.

You Can Speak Spanish with Pride in the USA
Yesterday I took my family to look at a used car. We’d found a rusted out “beater with a heater” on Craigslist which I thought could be used for picking up my children from school. After a quick test drive, I turned to consult my wife in Spanish. After a few words, I turned back to the man who was selling the car.

26/08/2019 - Boris Keeps Changing the Odds, and Parliament Has a Gambling Problem
A tired man, down to his last tenner, pauses in the sea of umbrellas after a miserable day at the races. He's bored of seeing the same odds, presented by the bookies who all look the same, but just have different names.

Epstein & Junkermann: September 1, 2002 - The Secret Senators and the Wexner War on Iraq
While all the very talented people on the independent news scene were uncovering new information about the glamourous Nicole Junkermann, I was focused on the one question that remained unanswered from my article. What were Jeffrey Epstein and Nicole Junkermann doing in the United Kingdom, from landing on August 31, 2002 until leaving on the 2nd of September?

What Makes a Great President
Presidents have played very important roles in the development of their respective countries over the years. They are leaders that people look up to for inspiration, because they are public figures. However, being a public figure doesn't mean that they are beyond mistakes.

GMA's Lara Spencer Apologizes - But Is It Too Late?
While conducting a segment on Good Morning America on August 23, 2019, #LaraSpencer caused a royal uproar. She was discussing what #PrinceGeorge, son of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, will be studying at school. As a six-year-old, one might expect that the young prince will see more than his fair share of the traditional math, science, and English studies. Apparently, though, the youngster will be also studying computer coding and ballet, the latter of which inspired Spencer to comment, "We'll see how long that lasts," sparking an ongoing round of laughter from the audience.

On the Philosophy of Power
Of all the quests humans have undertaken such as glory, fame, and fortune, power is the most detrimental. Throughout the ages, numerous individuals, kings, and emperors embarked on the perilous journey to acquire power. Many succeeded, and many gave up their lives trying to find this priceless jewelry. In a sense, power is the philosopher’s stone's sister. However, the most arduous part is not acquiring it, but maintaining it. Nonetheless, one ought not to think that acquiring power shall be an easy process; quite the contrary. Another difference that shall be mentioned is that power does not have a single formula to be applied to conceive it or acquire it. There are myriad approaches one can implement to obtain power, and each comes with its own pros, and cons. We will not discourse on those methods, for many others did, and shall one want to know them, one shall read the books written on such a subject. On the other hand, we will discourse on other aspects of power. As we hold forth on these aspects, we are not claiming to be the truth-bearers, instead we are merely exploring them. Some might be oblivious to these aspects by such rendering this discourse informative. Others might be familiar with them, thereby making this discourse a reminder, yet there is no better way to remember than a reminder. Our discourse will tackle three major aspects of power being; its definition, its nature and forms, and the reasons behind its irresistible charm. But before we commence, one ought to ask that if this discourse is nothing but a fascination by power’s seductive charms. Perhaps power attracts both the wise and the great alike? But, what exactly is power?

The Not-So-Woke Black Girl
By the title, you can assume one of two things: either I spend a majority of the day sleeping as a Black girl or I’m not as informed (or knowledgeable) of my culture as a Black girl. If you guessed the latter, you’re right. If you guessed the other, you aren’t entirely wrong, but for the purpose of this article, I will be talking about my knowledge (or the lack thereof) of my ethnic background and my personal struggles associated with it.
