Regent Acker’s Double Standard

Campus has been buzzing the past week over comments Regent Ron Weiser made during a meeting of the North Oakland County Republican Club. The Detroit News posted the video of Weiser’s speech where he made the remarks. You should watch the video before continuing to read this piece. It becomes clear that those calling for […]

Fall 2021: “Return to Normalcy”

My, what a year it has been. No one could have warned 17 year old me when I committed to Michigan that my experience would be so unorthodox, so unlike the golden years about which my alumni parents reminisce. After two and a half semesters of online classes, I was overjoyed that, when President Schlissel […]

Isaiah Livers Shows He’s #NotNCAAProperty

SATIRE: Conservatives Are to Blame for France’s Hijab Ban

*Puts on serious face* On April 1, France’s Senate voted in favor of a new “Separatism Law,” the most controversial part of which was a ban on wearing a hijab in public for those under 18.

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 […]

Run Hide Fight: A New Era of Conservative Entertainment

Nearly all conservatives have a favorite scene from a movie or TV show at which they cringed and laughed when the writers tried to shove woke, left-wing garbage down their throats. Here’s mine: Fans of FX’s American Horror Story will recall the theme of the show’s seventh season: Cult. The title refers to a gang […]

CBS’s Strange Angel Details the Dangers of Straying from God
