Taylor Swift’s new album “The Tortured Poets Department” will follow the aesthetic from Folklore and Evermore (Op-Ed)
Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” is going to carry on the tradition of her musical journey, which has always been an intricate web of change and discovery.

Tabloid publications are predatory and unethical (Op-Ed)
In the realm of journalism, ethics are the bedrock upon which credibility stands. The Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics serves as a guiding light, emphasizing integrity, accuracy, and respect for truth.

Lead-filled Lunchables: USDA needs to protect youth from heavy metals. (Op-Ed)
If you grew up in the ‘90s or 2000s, you’ve likely had a delectable Lunchable.

Nike’s female Olympic track uniforms are over-sexualized. (Op-Ed)
Nike revealed several designs for women’s track athletes to be worn at the Paris Olympics this summer, and female athletes are not happy.

Senators and representatives, who are voted in by the people, for the people, […]
Like Mr. Sinatra, Billy Martin and Frankie Valli , Michael Buble loves PATSY’S to… so do I
