Considering the recent history of presidents number 45 and 46, this puts him right in ...
‘Uncle Steve’ Gives Mets Fans Something to Believe In
I was born on Oct. 21, 2000, during game one of the 2000 World Series. That year, the New York Mets played the New York Yankees in what was referred to as the “Subway Series.” My dad, a huge Mets fan, told my mom not to push because the inning was pretty important. The doctor agreed. The first pitch was thrown a little after 8 p.m., and I was born at 8:56 p.m. The Mets lost that game 4-3 and the series 4-1, setting the tone for the rest of my life. Flushing, Queens, has been the home...

Disclaimer: This is a strictly satirical opinion piece that does not reflect the beliefs of The Montclarion in any way. Good news everyone, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is over.

Red Hawks Football Falters in Home Opener Against Salisbury
A chance to right the ship went awry for the Montclair State University football team who dropped their home opener 27-24 to undefeated Salisbury University.

Marvel Spoiled ‘Endgame’ for Me
“Avengers: Endgame” hits theaters this week, and it is expected to be one of, if not, the highest grossing films of all time. The hype leading up to the conclusion of phase three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been unparalleled. However, Marvel has already spoiled the movie for me. At the end of “Avengers: Infinity War,” villain, Thanos, destroys Spider-Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange and nearly all members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. It would normally be a thrill ...
