11/19/2020 Simon Jaronski | Staff Columnist With the 2020 election in the rearview mirror, a few key lessons have become apparent for both parties.

11/12/2020 Staff Editorial Imagine driving to the nearest polling station on Nov. 3rd and placing your vote for the candidate who you believe to be the most fit to lead our great nation. Within a few days, after soundly exceeding the required number of electoral votes and receiving the most popular votes of any presidential candidate in American history, the challenger defeats the incumbent to … Continue reading Staff Editorial: Will Donald Trump put on his big boy pants?
11/05/2020 Alyse Kaminski | Staff Columnist A few semesters ago, I wrote an article on my boyfriend and I. At the time, he was very conservative and I was, and still am, very liberal.

10/22/20 Staff Editorial Science is nonpartisan. Take Dr. Anthony Fauci, for example. Now a household name, Fauci has worked under six U.S. Presidents — four Republicans and two Democrats — and is dubbed by some to be “America’s Doctor.” Fauci didn’t get to his position as the nation’s top infectious-disease specialist by playing politics. So, with under two weeks to go before the presidential election … Continue reading The science backing COVID-19 cannot be denied

Raymond Arke | News Editor 03/15/18 Calling it a close race does not quite do it justice. Duquesne and Pizza Milano are close. The walk from Gumberg to Starbucks is close. This was something more. The March 13 special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional District was more than just tight; it came down to a couple hundred ballots. With no official winner declared by the … Continue reading Conor Lamb secures upset victory in nearby Congressional race
