Do you ever see those ads on the side of your screen, enticing you to click on them with their promises of making you thousands of dollars a day from home? While nine times out of 10 that’s a pyramid scheme — and the other time will see your advertising information stolen — the idea isn’t...

Rediscovering passion for photos, new purpose as journalist

LUKE HOLLISTER, Evergreen photographer

Filed under Columns, Opinion, Showcase

Before I started working at The Daily Evergreen I was losing interest in photography. It was not something I was willing to put effort into anymore.

Filed under Columns, Opinion

The modern liberal platform is intolerant, and that is completely intentional.

In order to progress as an integrated society, tolerance is not the goal. Tolerance...

In a harbor far to the east, past a countrywide divide, there is a statue. It stands for many things, but an inscription at its base tells the purpose best: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore.” This is an often-quoted...
