I Sverige år 2026 låter vi friskolekoncerner med undermålig verksamhet få plocka ut skyhöga vinster — vinster som den svenska staten gladeligen låter dessa koncerner ta av vår skattefinansierade skolpeng. Dessa smarta välfärdsplundrare har överlag en högre lönsamhet än näringslivet i sin helhet, men när man väl plundrat färdigt lämnar man över problemen och eleverna […]
Over the past 15 years—in particular the last decade—the concept “Cultural Marxism” has become so overused by the American Right that we almost tune out when we hear it.

It turns out that Trump’s plan to help ships go thru the Strait was ended when both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait refused to let the US use their airspace or US bases in their countries to launch attacks. The reason is obvious—Iran has repeatedly said that if the war restarts they will hit the Gulf […]
