Nick Grunig Bengal Contributor The 2016 election was shellshock for millions of Americans, myself included. Ever since that night in November, I have been picking up the shattered pieces of an optimistic teenager. Two years later, I’m now glued back together as a skeptic. That journey led me to a […]
Logan Ramsey Editor-in-Chief Earlier in the semester I wrote that President Trump would lose the border wall fight. In light of his declaration of a national emergency at the southern border, I still think that’s the case, but it also doesn’t matter anymore if he builds the wall or not. […]
Conner Coutts Bengal Contributor “Indonesia can expect a serious earthquake and the resulting tsunami about as often as I can expect my dad to show up drunk to Thanksgiving: once a year,” I say as my heart races, my palms sweat and my knowledge flows. Now while this may not […]
Logan Ramsey Editor-in-Chief Democrats in Idaho need new leadership. I think that the 2018 race for governor between Brad Little and Paulette Jordan made that abundantly clear.

Fallon Deatherage-Bradley News Editor I’m a Scrooge. I’m a Grinch. Maybe I’m a terrible person, but I hate Christmas. I’m not sure when it all started. Did it start at 2-years old when I caught my dad putting presents under the tree and realized that Santa wasn’t real? When did […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief It was a pure consequence of fate that I ended up in this position, and it is with a heavy heart that I write this final goodbye. In high school, I was nothing special. I was a middle-of-the-road student with a learning disability which gave birth to […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Green bean casserole By far the best dish at Thanksgiving, it has the perfect mix of softness, creaminess and crunchiness that makes for a premiere side dish to the rest of the Thanksgiving feast. It’s not the most popular dish, but all that means is […]
