    Man of Steel Breaks Box Office Records

    After hitting theaters Thursday night, Warner Bros. Man of Steel ended an impressive opening weekend, grossing $125.1 million and becoming the all time top opener for the month of June. STORY: THE FOOD STAMP DEBATE: WILL FUNDING BE CUT?

    The Food Stamp Debate: Will Funding Be Cut?

STORY: Obama’s Approval Rating Takes Major Hit SNAP is a federal aid program that offers food for low income individuals and families, as stated by the US Department of Agriculture. Currently, over 47 million Americans depend on SNAP, The Daily Beast reported.

Dear America: Eric Snowden Is No Hero

Eric Snowden is no American Hero, nor is he a whistleblower.   He’s a criminal. STORY: NSA Whistle Blower Comes Forward Let me explain why. After every major terrorist attack on American soil, whether domestic or international, many Americans ask one fundamental question: How could something like this have happened? It’s a fair question and any reasonable person would ask it. We’re mortified by the terrifying events, we mourn for the loss of lives and reach out in any way that we can; but through the tears and donations we  still demand answers. Who was in charge, did anyone know that we were…

When Reality Strikes Post-Grads And Dreams Become Nightmares

——————— I believe there comes a time in almost every young man and woman’s professional’s life where a decision must be made: Do you continue down the path that fulfills you, or do you look for what pays? Do we let go of those childish dreams of becoming a police officer, investigative reporter, doctor or teacher in order to find a job that offers a legitimate living wage, or do we hold fast and power on?  It’s a question many of us will, or have already faced. I’m smack dab in the middle of mine. EDITORIAL: Bad Career Advice I…

All Immigrants Are Part Of Our American Values

  My immigration story is not unique. I came to the United States at the age of 5, with a green card and on an airplane, into the arms of family members who were already “assimilated” to an American culture. I use quotation marks because as much as my relatives pretended to be all-American, they could never truly blend in. Their skin color, accent, and penchant for wearing a crucifix gave them away. Those relatives arrived at a time when the term “melting pot” was used to represent the American way of life. You came here to leave everything behind…

Guest Blog: Obama’s Condescending Lecture To Morehouse Graduates

Written By: Marc Polite The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Marc Polite   President Obama must be feeling constrained lately. Last week, he  let it slip that at times, he feels like “going Bulworth” Bulworth is a  movie about a fictional president who after winning, starts telling the truth, and saying what he wants. As explained greatly by the co-writer of Bulworth, Obama is a kept figure by the powers that be, and will never do such a thing.  However, there is one group of  people that the President never fails to unload on. That group…
