Sessions: getting rid of criminals one gram at a time

In light of recent turmoil involving the legalization of recreational marijuana use, Jeff Sessions, United States Attorney General, has found the solution: rescinding Obama administration laws that allow recreational marijuana use and sale in certain states.

This auspicious resolution comes four days after California declared the devil’s plant legal, and it couldn’t have been more perfect timing.

“Marijuana is a schedule 1 drug for a reason,” said Mary-Jane Leafly, anti-marijuana advocate. “Schedule 1’s have high abuse potential, no medical use, and severe safety concerns. I’m relieved that our government is finally taking this issue seriously.”

Sessions has a long history with the disapproval of marijuana and the people who smoke it.

“This drug is dangerous, you cannot play with it, it is not funny; it’s not something to laugh about. . . good people don’t smoke marijuana,” Sessions said at a drug hearing in April 2016.*

Sessions said that his agenda includes "getting rid of all the bad people, starting with the cannabis-smoking, Grateful Dead-listening, no-shirt-wearing, delinquent hippies."

Richard Prudè, neurologist and father of three, said that he is relieved that the threatening drug is off the streets and no longer an imposing danger to his impressionable children.

"I found a marijuana on my front porch once, and my children knew what it was," Prudè said. "First they know about it, next they'll wanna smoke it! I cannot sit here and wait for them to throw their lives away to drugs and degeneracy."

Sessions said he is well aware of the susceptible youth in the United States, hence his priority is to incarcerate those who partake in the smoking and consumption of cannabis, as they pose a threat to American safety.

“Imagine all of the lives we’re saving by taking these criminals off the streets,” Sessions said. “We're making America safe again.”

We're All Voyeurs: A Review of Hitchcock's "Rear Window"

Photo Credit: Film Forever Rear Window is a film about watching. We watch the protagonist, L.B.Jeffries, be forced to lead a life of mundanity as his cast confines him to the four walls of his apartment. We watch his neighbors, Ms. Lonelyhearts, Ms. Torso, and Thorwald, each cope with their loneliness in sad, distinct ways. We watch Jeffries’ girlfriend, Lisa, wholeheartedly commit to a man who is afraid of commitment. And most importantly, we watch Jeffries do the watching. The film begins with the camera panning over the apartment complexes in Greenwich Village, New York, focusing through every rear window in the vicinity. The audience is introduced to Jeff’s neighbors, and even though we, nor Jeff, ever meet most of his neighbors, Jeff forms intricate backstories for them, finding entertainment in the seemingly mundane lives of those around him: Ms. Torso practices ballet every morning, stretching her legs on her kitchen counter and bending forward, her short-shorts on ...

Refuting Gender Roles: An Independent Female Lead in "Silence of the Lambs"

Photo Credit: gamesradar+ Although Silence of the Lambs is profoundly disturbing in both its transphobic undertones and in its portrayal of a cannibalistic serial killer as a compelling, empathetic character, it’s innovation lies in its ability to transcend binary gender roles, allowing a female lead to possess agency, intelligence, and a completely bad-assed personality. The film begins with the protagonist, Clarice Starling, hurtling through an obstacle course alone, climbing over nets, and jumping over logs. Before she is able to complete the course, Special Agent-in-Charge, Jack Crawford, summons her to his office, and she runs back, bolting passed a tree with the motto, “Hurt, Agony, Pain―Love it.…or die” nailed into the bark. These words foreshadow the final scenes of the film, where Starling comes close to death in her encounter with the sinister Buffalo Bill. As she runs, the camera pans over the rest of her class training together. Already, the dichotomy between Clari...

Classic Hitchcockian Misogyny in "Rebecca"

Photo credit: Moma Hitchcock’s Rebecca , like classic Hitchcock, induces anxiety in the viewer from the very first line of the film: “Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.” Beginning the film with a recollection prompts the viewer to wonder not only what Manderley is, but also why the nameless female protagonist can only visit it in her dreams. Already, Manderley establishes a ghostly, indelible presence, haunting both the memories of the speaker in the beginning of the film and the audience’s perception of her, as we witness the speaker being thrown into living in a home overshadowed by the late Rebecca. The film is deeply imbedded in patriarchal values, and the notion that a woman must be complacent to her male counterparts, as seen through the sheepish representation of the “good” Mrs. de Winter. She lacks agency, and her unauthoritative personality proves ideal to Maxim, as he wants a wife he can control. The film’s focus on depicting women with indomitable ...
