In the 2nd article of this series, I will be discussing the context and current trajectory of Russia, America's 2nd adversary. Recently, stimulated by the Russian invasion of the Ukraine in 2022, the discussion of Russia has intensified across a myriad of mediums, ranging from think tanks to schools. Oftentimes, we might conclude that Russia is violating the sanctity...
The 2020s have been generally described as volatile and unpredictable, leading many to compare it to previous decades. This decade bears the inexorable political violence and cultural convulsions rampant in education, workplaces, and on the streets like in the 1960s. This decade also bears energy shocks and inflation similar to those of the 1970s. This decade even bears the...
In 2018, The Roundup staff visited Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson.  Our article is reprinted below.  The newspaper extends our condolences to the Johnson family. The first nurse elected to Congress. The first woman in Texas to lead a major house committee. The first African American woman elected to public office from Dallas.

While these conflicts - owing to their cultural and geographic proximity to the Western world, sheer destructiveness, and access to news coverage - often get the lion's share of media coverage, it would be a mistake to...
Welcome to Jesuit Ranger Experience Podcast Episode 8! Today, we decided to change the format of our podcast, instead of us interviewing students or teachers, we moderated a debate between two debaters Peter Loh '24 and Luke Lastelick '25. Funny enough these two guys are actually debate partners and compete against other schools regionally, state, and nationally! The rules of this...
The air is crisp and the atmosphere palpable at the Hampshire Hills Athletic Club in Milford, New Hampshire. On this Saturday morning, attendees shuffle into rows of seats, hopeful for the chance to pose a question to one of the country's most distinctive presidential candidates. The moderator, USA Today journalist Phillip Bailey, lays out the guidelines for this town...
