| by Joshua Arnold |
| An already historic year grew more unprecedented Wednesday when anti-American activists nearly disrupted a foreign leader's speech to a joint session of Congress. In a speech designed to strengthen the U.S.-Israel alliance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saluted the University of North Carolina fraternity brothers who "protected the American flag against these anti-Israel protesters" during a campus riot in April. Half an hour later, the anti-Israel protestors tore down more American flags only blocks away at Washington, D.C.'s Union Station. |

| Drag Queens Carry the Olympic Torch in France |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The news that Snoop Dogg, an American rapper, will be carrying the Olympic torch just before the start of the opening ceremony this weekend is something many aren't too happy about. But stirring far more controversy than that of Mr. Dogg are the three French drag queens who carried the torch last week as part of the Olympic torch relay. The route started in Greece, worked its way to France, and ended in the city of Paris where the 2024 Olympics will be held. And yet, even with 10,000 total torchbearers, the three drag queens - Nicky Doll, Miss Martini, and Minima Geste - seem to have stolen most of the attention. |

| 'We Do Have People Behind Us': Reactions to Netanyahu's 'Pitch Perfect' Address to Congress |
| by Sarah Holliday |
| The tensions between Israel and Palestine remain strong, as evidenced by Wednesday's protests in Washington, D.C. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took the time amid the roughly nine-month-long war between Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas to come to America's capitol and give an address before a joint session of Congress. His presence, it would seem, served as the motivation for thousands of angry pro-Palestinian protestors to engage in disruptive and violent acts, such as burning of the U.S. flag, assaulting police officers, and vandalizing government property. |
