Also, Roosevelt wanted to diminish Americas underconsumption, where factories and farms produced more than they could sell…

After several failed attempts, the American real estate developer and television personality Donald Trump finally accepted the invitation of Stephen Colbert to appear on The Late Show.

However, the current host of the late-night television talk show The Late Show…

Case Study – The CIA’s Rendition, Detention, and Interrogation Program The most recent, publicly acknowledged example of a covert action program with dubious moral footing is the Rendition, Detention and Interrogation program (RDI), authorized by President George W. Bush in the days following the terrorist attacks of 9/11.

As a liberal-leaning democrat and daughter of an immigrant father, I should be the last to say that I think Donald Trump is an effective politician. But as much as it pains me to say it, he is. Like any “effective” politician, he responds to the polls before the people, to prominent media outlets before his own ideological views. Some may disagree; people will tell me that if anything, Trump has a way of voicing his opinions too freely. Those same people will say that his ability to “tell it…

The Reconstruction Era The late 1860s and the early 1870s was an exciting time for Americans. The Civil War had already ended and reconstruction plans were being made, and by 1869, the first college football game had occurred.
