Central Student Government’s Lies About Israel

As a Jewish student at the University of Michigan, the last two weeks have been extremely stressful and frightening. I have witnessed the active curtailment of the Jewish voice on campus. Square boxes with acontextual information, videos of rocket explosions and burning buses, and infographics with unverifiable figures are all being used to diminish the […]

The Waning of American Patriotism

While scrolling through the hyper-political wasteland of Twitter, I recently found something deeply concerning: a majority of liberal or liberal-leaning college students are not proud to be American. Conservatives are overwhelmingly proud to be American, as are a clear majority of moderates and independents, according to a 2021 American College Student Survey. The study is simply […]

Deny Biden the Eucharist

In the Middle Ages, the Catholic Church had a ceremony called “Bell, Book, and Candle.” It was a rite of excommunication reserved for powerful public figures who committed a particularly grave sin, such as murder. A bishop would publicly bring 12 priests together in a church. The bell would ring, the bishop would read from […]

Michigan Football is like a Bad Boyfriend

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports We’ve all heard of the bad boyfriend. He tells you he’s going to be better. He tells you that he’s improved and that he can make this work.

Thank You, Michigan Football

With a 49-24 victory over the Golden Gophers, a little bit of normalcy returned to Saturdays in Ann Arbor. I tailgated with friends (in my place of residence), analyzed the betting lines and which team was favored to win, and screamed in front of the TV when Zach Charbonnet’s 70-yard touchdown changed the trajectory of […]

The Weakening of American Culture

There are many values of the average conservative that used to be cornerstones of the United States. Our country was founded with religious ideals in mind, as explained by John Adams: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion….Our Constitution was made only for a […]

A Thanksgiving Return to First Principles

There is much talk these days about divisiveness and political polarization, even within families. I have heard many fellow conservatives describe how a Thanksgiving dinner at their house is never complete without a political rift arising from their supposedly misguided view on some issue or other. I imagine my liberal friends have similar stories. At […]
