Column: The sensationalism of Trump is concerning

I don’t like Donald Trump. It’s pretty easy not to; the guy is a xenophobic, classist egomaniac. The only thing more obscene than the things he says is the height of his wispy, golden mane — which I’m convinced grows in direct proportion to the amount of attention he receives. Yet what scares me the most about Trump isn’t his call to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., nor is it his proposed $8 billion wall along the border of Mexico: It’s his sensationalism and what it means for the future of American politics.

Off the Record Review: Kanye West's "The Life of Pablo" was well worth the wait

Kanye West finally released his highly anticipated album “The Life of Pablo” on Sunday. TLOP is Kanye’s seventh solo studio album in his impeccable discography. The album has been talked about a lot due to numerous album title changes, tracklisting changes and many rumors circulating with little credibility to them. Kanye first debuted several songs during his “Yeezy Season 3” fashion show, which took place in the sold out Madison Square Garden last Thursday. After his show, many news outlets got to speculating about which songs were which and tried to put together an official tracklist, with the guest features included. The album was supposed to be released last Thursday, but last minute changes delayed the project’s debut for another two days. Yeezy had been tweeting information about his album up until its release, and he even described it as a “gospel” album. We soon learned he wasn’t kidding.

Column: Is executive pay a cause of income inequality?

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Donald Trump may seem extremely different in their views, but they are noticeably similar in their public appeal. Bernie is a democratic socialist who favors the European socialist way of running government, which involves government-imposed wealth equality via hefty taxes. Trump lies on the opposite end of the spectrum, believing in the magical powers of capitalism and pure competition. That’s right — a democratic socialist and the single-most capitalistic name in history could be duking it out this November. We may be in for quite the show.
