Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be.

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

We take no joy criticising a young left-wing UK political figure who has often spoken up for workers' rights and progressive causes. But these barely coherent comments from Zarah Sultana on Ukraine sum up much of what is wrong with her wing of the left

The rise of genuine left candidates has exposed so many flaws in the analysis of the centre. They just don’t have much to say about things because they see the world through a severely damaged lens. (In other words, Scaramucci is awful in this)

Shockingly, this point was anticipated in the video. The Portugal-England history raises issues like development of industry over time, terms of trade, and finance - all of which are absent from ricardo‘s matrix. The lesson is, as always, don’t read the comments!
