President Trump calls himself ‘big loser’ to Democrats over GOP tax plan
by Kathleen Haynes
President Trump is in the news today for calling someone a “big loser,” but it wasn’t directed at who most would expect. The President referenced himself as a loser when talking to Democratic senators Tuesday about the Republicans’ plan to overhaul the tax system. Multiple people with direct knowledge of the phone call reported this information to CNN.
At least twelve Democratic senators were in attendance for a meeting organized by Senator Joe Manchin when the President unexpectedly called into the meeting. Trump spoke for about 10 minutes during the call that took place at 6 a.m. in South Korea local time. Senator Tom Carper described the call as a “nice touch,” but stated that it seemed Trump was doing more talking than listening. Trump said that Republicans plan to repeal the estate tax because the plan is “just so bad for rich people.” The meeting was organized because Manchin wanted Democrats to have more input in the process, but multiple senators described it as more of a conversation about the process rather than negotiations on the specifics.
The President is currently visiting South Korea where he today addressed the country’s National Assembly in Seoul. During the speech, Trump delivered a blunt message to North Korea vowing that the United States will respond with military force if needed.
“Every step you take down this dark path increases the peril you face,” Trump said.
The next stop on the 11-day Asia trip is Vietnam.

Lakers Come Up Short Against Brockport
The Oswego State men’s basketball team suffered a 69-67 loss against Brockport Friday night. With the loss, the Lakers drop to 12-12 on the season and 9-8 in the conference while the Golden Eagles move to 18-6.
Oswego struggled on offense in the first half, shooting just 1-of-9 from three point range and 25% from the field. Those struggles along with Brockport shooting 56% from beyond the arc led to the Golden Eagles taking an eleven point lead into halftime. The Lakers would find themselves within a single possession in the second half but were unable to capitalize.
Jamir Ferebee led the Lakers’ comeback effort with 22 points including 15 in the second half. Tyler Pierre contributed 14 points and 10 rebounds to earn a double double.
Oswego will close out the regular season on Saturday against Geneseo at 3:00 pm. As part of Senior Day, the team will honor Ferebee, Ivey, Schupp and Louis Avellino.

Funnelle Hall has it’s largest Funnelle-o-ween Party so far

The annual Funnelle-O-Ween party took place last Tuesday night at Funnelle Hall.
According to the organization, this year they have had the highest attendance so far, with activities that ranged from a haunted house to raffles or face painting. “I like the haunted house and the food the best,” says student Mikayla McGarry.
“You know, I mean, it’s definitely interesting to see a lot of people will have like different costumes and you see people from… we have a lot people in this school from different countries and stuff so they’ll have a different variety of costumes as well, something you may not typically see,” Resident Advisor Seth Prevratil says.
“We’ve been doing this program for, I believe, it’s four years now here in Funnelle. It’s basically just an alternative for the residents to have something fun to do for Halloween. The residents really seem to enjoy it every year, so this year we decided to make it bigger and better. We added a haunted house, there’s new activities like pumpkin painting, a donut eating competition… As a person, having a diverse amount of people come to the program is really awesome, especially being here like I said for my third year just seeing all different people come together as a community and get involved and just not in Hart or at whatever building they live in, but coming to Funnelle from different parts of campus,” says Emily Vogt.
Students had a spook-tacular this year, so if you were not able to attend “boockle” up for next year.
