Let’s start with this simple truth — women run the universe. It’s true. Women comprise a great portion of the population and they are currently the majority attending colleges and universities. Although they make less on the job than their male counterparts, women have been steadily increasing their majority on the workforce. This is not to say that men are second class citizens or unimportant as we move forward. Women are putting themselves in better positions to rule the world.
So far, in American society, women’s collective worth and needs have historically been relegated to the back burner of American priorities. Men have made and have been making laws to limit women’s right to choose their own paths in their own particular ways. This week on The Pundit Class, we provide you with the two biggest examples we come to know as of late. Plus, a quick aside to show you how a woman’s work is never done.

This action wound up triggering one of the rarest forms of political solutions. On this episode, we travel back to the wild and crazy story that was the 2012 recall election of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
How much do you owe in student loan debt? No matter what it is — if you are currently in student loan debt — it's imagined that you're not as far in paying them down as you thought you might be at this point. However, no matter where you are on the spectrum, not many people have wondered how the modern student loan program came into being or why the price tag of going to college is so costly in the first place. On this episode, Keith makes an effort to ask and answer what really hasn't been asked and answered about this.
On this episode, we make the honest attempt to understand all the ways and means humans have defined themselves. Through the various sciences, man has developed some interesting theories about how he/she has evolved throughout time. Are we products of the past? Or are we products of more immediate times? Why do we do what we do? Keith uses various media expressions to do a little digging to find some conclusions.
