You Don’t Need a Participation Trophy: How a Nickelodeon Show Illustrated the Flaws of PC Authoritarianism

Any millennial who competed in youth sports will remember the awards ceremonies that followed every season. You may remember, if you were on a losing team, receiving a useless participation award that was not nearly as impressive as the two foot tall trophies given to the champions. If that is the case, you will remember wondering why you even got that little trophy at all. Receiving that insignificant award didn’t make you feel better. So, what was the point? Over the last thirty years, Americans have seen that we often create wider divisions in the name of perfect equality.

D(U.S.)tbin of History – FOOTBALL’S FOUNDING FATHER: JIM THORPE AND THE APFA

I originally only meant to write about the first professional football game, but in the course of my research, I learned that the great Jim Thorpe was actually the first president of the NFL! (Eat your heart out Roger.) Seeing as this is the D(U.S.)tbin of History, I decided that it would be appropriate to start the series by telling an obscure story that the average NFL fan probably doesn’t know.

Justice O’Connor Fits the Bill: Why Sandra Day O’Connor Deserves to be on Currency

Very few women have accomplished more in our government system on their own merit than Sandra Day O’Connor.

President Trump: America’s CEO

Donald Trump has as much potential as anyone else to be a good president. He has the ability to bring about change and “Make America Great Again”. Ronald Reagan was known as “the great communicator”. Trump could very well be remembered as “the great administrator”. Trump supporters have often pointed to ‘The Donald’s’ business experience as a main reason to elect him president. One of the top priorities of a business executive is to hire the right people to do the work for him. The president is the head of the executive branch and has a very similar job description. If Trump wants to be a successful president he will have to strengthen economic relations with foreign powers, make domestic reforms, and be the country’s CEO.

Why You Should Vote for Bobby Jindal

If elected he will be the first Indian-American president of the United States. However, it does not seem as though that matters at all to Governor Jindal. Although he is the son of Indian immigrants, the man who was born Piyush Jindal sports a southern accent deeper than George W. Bush’s and is tired of what he calls “hyphenated Americans”.

Cut Down Old Hickory: Why We Should Remove Andrew Jackson from the Twenty Dollar Bill

Hamilton did nothing to warrant being removed from the ten dollar bill but will be anyway. Andrew Jackson, on the other hand, should be removed from his place of prominence on the twenty dollar bill because his policies of executive overreach blatantly disregarded the Constitution. Jackson forced others to bend to his will, participated in cronyism, and placed his own popularity above the common good. These are all reasons that the founder of the Democrat Party should not have the honor of appearing on the twenty dollar bill.
