After several decades of lenient immigration policy, America became harshly divided […]

Barry Goldwater, former Republican Presidential nominee, once said, “Where will it end? Will we permit all computerized systems to interlink nationwide so that every detail of our personal lives can be assembled instantly for use by a single bureaucrat or institution?” That was in 1974. Goldwater wouldn’t be able to search the World Wide Web […]
The Trump administration’s decision to neutralize Iran’s nuclear facilities was a heroic, necessary, and indispensable act of global leadership. In just 12 days, the United States and Israel halted the nuclear ambitions of the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, achieving this–thank God–with zero American casualties. However, to the Princeton School of Public & International […]
How has measles, a disease previously eliminated within the U.S., once again become a threat? The recent outbreak in Texas is especially concerning, considering we already have an effective tool against the virus: the Mumps, Measles, and Rubella vaccine (MMR vaccine). The MMR vaccine is 97% effective against measles even with just one shot. At […]
On March 20, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at dismantling the federal Department of Education (DoE). Since the announcement, critics have flooded social media and opinion sections with pessimistic projections: small universities will die, the state of public K-12 schooling will fall into even greater disrepair, and civil rights protections will be rolled […]

And rightly so – there is no shortage of incidents that ought to cause outrage from those […]
Sunday marked the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s regime, the end of a half-century of rule by the Assad family and the culmination of the country’s nearly 14-year-long civil war. Assad fled Damascus on Saturday evening after a coalition of rebel groups seized the capital in a lightning offensive that began in late November. […]
“Democrats need to…say, yes, there is misogyny, but it’s not just misogyny from white men. It’s misogyny from Hispanic men, it’s misogyny from black men.” That was MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough’s analysis of the November 5 election results. Indeed, many pundits and so-called academics on the left have pushed a similar narrative: namely that Trump’s win […]
On the morning of June 29, 2023, the Supreme Court was the last thing on my mind. In fact, at that time, I couldn’t have cared less about what the Court did. A friend from school was about to come over for a week, and, like a true Chinese parent, my mom insisted I clean […]
