It's a pity that the click economy makes you write headlines that would make a student of journalism fail the exam.

I hope many are noticing the similarities with the early period of Aryanization in Germany, when Jewish businesses and property began to be confiscated.

The cuts to scientific research, medicine, and foreign aid have nothing to do with saving money. The motives are ideological, and we all know which family of ideologies drives them.

A hell of a lot of folks are just now learning what happens when they vote without knowing anything. It won't lead them to educate themselves, because doing so would mean the loss of their identity.

Somebody needs to tell him that he'll never get Obama's Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war in Ukraine if he does so by siding with the aggressor. The Nobel Committee should reach out and offer to sell him the prize for the price of helping kick Putin back to Russia.

A bill to classify Trump Derangement Syndrome as a mental illness has just been introduced in the Minnesota Legislature. If it were to pass, it would open the door to sending democracy activists to mental institutions—and who knows what other dystopian scenarios. www.revisor.mn.gov/bills/text.p...

The ideas produced by a group of diverse minds occupy more volume in the space of ideas because they overlap less than those produced by a similarly sized group of like-minded individuals.

It is one of humanity's most significant flaws that, even when aware of being infected by a mind virus, most choose infection. We need research: what does the virus provide that the host so intensely desires? Perhaps a sense of belonging in an individualistic world? Could community be the antidote?

A doughnut is a nut made of dough. It is the original and traditional spelling from early 19th Century. Ironically, these original nuts of fried dough today are called doughnut holes. Doughnought has never been an actual word.

It's shocking to witness the West's resignation, passively accepting the blows without putting up a fight. That’s exactly the kind of victim a bully dreams of.
