Calling this the photo of 2024. UNC-Chapel Hill frat bros hoisting and protecting the American flag from anti-Israel protestors while being pelted with water bottles, rocks and sticks. Hats off to the gentlemen. Nothing like a southern state school. Following this, money was raised for a frat rager. Name something more American.

National Vibes
I am writing this with Billy Joel’s “Uptown Girl” playing in the background. They don’t match, but they do. Nostalgia being the unifying factor. It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and while I never regularly watched football as a kid, I did watch the Super Bowls. Usually, it entailed a party with church people around.

Blue
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning I woke up at 4 a.m. from a nightmare. I looked at my phone and saw that the nightmare was nothing compared to what had actually happened last night.

Four more years
By: Gabriela Yareliz May it be four more years filled with peace, FREEDOM, equality and free health care (wink). Congratulations president Obama. Don’t let the nation down, and finish what you’ve started. America has voted folks. This election’s electoral votes redeemed elections for me. The Gore-Bush thing left me traumatized. This time, the popular voteContinue reading “Four more years”
