Jeep Patriot

One event that influenced me to pursue a career in defense, were the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. It influenced me because I saw the impact the attack made on our citizens, society, and way of life. We realized that we could be attacked and now we had to respond. I saw both fear and unity arise from the aftermath of the attacks. I wanted to erase that fear, and maintain the safety of all Americans and defend the unity of our country. From the age of seven, I was heavily interested in…

multiple attacks on 9/11. So, as a congressman, my goal would be to stop any sort of terrorism as soon as possible. Also, the bill moved through Congress swiftly; it passed forty-five days after the attacks. Today, I would vote to reauthorize the Patriot Act to continue to protect the American people from any other acts of terrorism. The continuation of these surveillance tactics can potentially save the lives of thousands of people, and prevent another mass-terrorist…

Saints. In the fourth quarter, on third down, as Manning attempts to keep the Colts alive, he throws an interception for a 74 yard touchdown- delivering the Saints their first ever Super Bowl victory. Adam Vinatieri (4), kicker for the New England Patriots clutched Super Bowl wins in 2002 and 2004. Thanks to his right foot, he led the team to victory with last-minute field goals. Kevin Dyson (87) came up one yard short of a Super Bowl win for the Titans. In 2000’s now infamous play, Dyson made…

uniform wearing pads running into each other (NFL RedZone is great for this). Following the end of the normal games before NBC’s Sunday Night Football Game of the Week: which featured a huge game involving the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots, I noticed I had some time to spare, so I decided to channel surf until then. Upon looking through what I considered pointless programs (Competitive Drone Racing, seriously?), my eyes stumbled upon something that was entitled “Football”. I…

Marisa Taylor is an investigative reporter and Jonathan Landay is a national security and intelligence reporter for McClatchy Newspapers, based in Washington, DC. The National Security Agency (NSA) is turning down requests from individuals who want to find out whether the agency is holding records of their telephone communications. Simply answering yes or no, the NSA argues, is classified information that would jeopardize the effectiveness of its data-collection program. That means that…

When many think of the NSA’s data collection programs, the first thought is of whistleblower Edward Snowden, who leaked classified American documents in 2013. These documents revealed to Americans the ways the NSA collected their information for investigation. The agency was found wrongfully collecting information from other countries such as China to investigate previous attacks on the U.S. Department of Defense (Cate 31). Domestically, one of the biggest things Americans learned about was…

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. - Just one day after President Donald Trump spoke out against NFL players kneeling in protest during the national anthem, Jets players, backed by the support of owner Christopher Johnson and head coach Todd Bowles, linked arms and stood together in solidarity during the playing of the national anthem. The statement made was heard loud and clear as the Jets trumped the Miami Dolphins 20-6 with the help of a young, and ‘widely unknown’, receiving core including Robby…

Is Your Privacy More Important Than My Security? People greatly enjoy reading books of the dystopian genre, and in many cases the protagonist is fighting against authoritarian governments. As one may recall from the Hunger Games or Divergent, these leading bodies are powerful and controlling. The reader is often rooting for the heroine, who fights against this control. However, in real life, when one evaluates the current situation of government interference in private life for the safety of…

Ozzie Newsome won a state championship in high school and was recruited by Paul Bryant to play for Alabama. He played in 48 straight…

super bowl two years in a row. Another thing to mention is that Tom Brady has never really had an amazing running back. Bill Belichick since he’s been in the league has a pass heavy offense which benefits Tom statistically. In 2007 the New England Patriots picked…
