Dutch cyclists, you are warned. Self-driving cars are a new risk.

Young men are being targeted by Nazi billionaires and being told they are very special boys, because young men are easy to influence and do stupid things with little provocation.

Young men need to stop being suckers.

According to a Pew Research Center report, 26% of pages from 2013-2023 are no longer accessible.

For US Commentators on Iran, Mass Murder Is Magic

Hawkish commentary in leading American newspapers advanced the premise that the US can dictate terms to Iran in negotiations.
