Michael Boyson '16 and Andrew Arraj '16 shared the following reflections with the Jesuit Community on the September 25 Friday prayer service led by Campus Ministry.

Donald Trump is a man who is making history in the twenty-first century. He has caused almost as much uproar in the United States as Hillary Clinton has when it comes to American politics. But why? Well it might be because he speaks in a way that is not politically correct, always telling it how it is, or how...
Rain, high speed, stunning visuals and super fast cars. What more could a car enthusiast want? This year marks the 10th anniversary to the first Forza game. To mark this great milestone the developers over at Turn 10 Studios have created this phenomenal addition to the franchise: Forza Motorsport 6. In my opinion this is the first iteration in the franchise that truly feels...

The day Hillary Clinton stated she was running for president will forever live in infamy. Hillary Clinton, also referred to as the Lady Macbeth of Arkansas, lied about the Benghazi scandal and continues to lie about her deleted emails. Also, she willingly defends Planned Parenthood, overused her power as the Secretary of State, and has a confusing voting record...
When looking at all presidential candidates for 2016, no one stands out quite like Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. America needs a president that is not an apologist, and Walker’s ability to stay principled is perfect for that role. First and foremost, Walker can appeal to the common man. He does not come from an elite family and he has earned...
