Most Americans, gulled by a complicit media and education establishment, long failed to see just how serious the left was about wrecking the nation. According to psychiatrist Seth D. Norrholm, dictators see themselves “as ‘very special’ people, deserving of admiration, and, consequently, [they] have difficulty empathizing with the feelings and needs of others; they also tend to behave with a vindictiveness often observed in narcissistic personality disorder.” In other words, they are nuts. And dangerous. And in power. Norrholm, who is currently scientific director, NeuroCAST, at Wayne State University’s Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, and Dr. Sam Hunley, now...

Let’s be totally frank: if on election night 2020 a total of just over 40,000 votes across Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona had gone for President Donald Trump instead of Biden it would have eventuated in a complete disaster for both Trump and the GOP with the latter likely out of the presidency for a dozen years or more. Trump’s 269/269 Electoral College tie “win” i.e., being put into office by a majority of state delegations in the House of Representatives even though he had lost the popular vote by an unprecedented seven million votes, 4.3% behind the “loser,” would have...

A former McDonald's CEO credited with inventing the McNugget is now leading the charge against corporations that implement woke policies. Ed Rensi, who served as the CEO of McDonalds from 1991 to 1997, is partnering with conservative advocacy groups to form The Boardroom Initiative, FOX News has reported. Its goal is to protect share holders and employees of publicly traded companies from 'woke' policies, which the group says imperil profits and thus betray the very shareholders who pay corporation staffs' wages. The Boardroom Initiative also aims to counter left-wing groups' decision to buy up stocks in the businesses until they...

Successfully leading a company into the future is no longer about 30-year strategic plans, or even 5- or 10-year roadmaps. It’s about people across an organization adopting a strategic mindset and working in flexible teams that allow companies to respond to evolving technology and external risks like geopolitical conflict, pandemics, and the climate crisis. Increasingly that agility requires a shift from reliance on command-and-control leadership to distributed leadership, which emphasizes giving people autonomy to innovate and using noncoercive means to align them around a common goal. MIT Sloan professorDeborah Ancona defines distributed leadership as collaborative, autonomous practices managed by a...

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday is asking that a legal challenge filed against her by Donald Trump be dismissed on the grounds that it has 'no merit.' The former first lady's court filing compared Trump's lawsuit to a 'fundraising tool, a press release or a list of political grievances' but said it has no place 'as a lawsuit, and should be dismissed with prejudice.' The ex-president sued his 2016 Democratic opponent and dozens of others in March for an 'unthinkable plot' to 'weave a false narrative' that he was colluding with a hostile foreign power during that election cycle to 'cripple...

Concerns over the prospect of Russian tennis player Daniil Medvedev winning Wimbledon - one of sport's most iconic tournaments - with members of the Royal family in attendance on Centre Court was one of the key reasons that the nation's players were banned from competing. Wimbledon announced on Wednesday that they have banned all players from Russia and Belarus from this summer's Championships in light of the ongoing atrocities in Ukraine. Medvedev, the World No 2 and reigning US Open champion, was among the favourites to win Wimbledon this summer. But organisers will have been mindful of the genuine possibility...

“The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment” (Proverbs 21:6-7).

A “Stalinist” mass purge of Russian secret intelligence is under way after more than 100 agents were removed from their jobs and the head of the department responsible for Ukraine was sent to prison. In a sign of President Putin’s fury over the failures of the invasion, about 150 Federal Security Bureau (FSB) officers have been dismissed, including some who have been arrested. All of those ousted were employees of the Fifth Service, a division set up in 1998, when Putin was director of the FSB to carry out operations in the countries of the former Soviet Union with the...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it is "unfair" that he is forced to repeatedly ask allied nations for security assistance when they have arms sitting in storage. "If we had access to all the weapons we need, which our partners have and which are comparable to the weapons used by the Russian Federation, we would have already ended this war," he said in a late-night address Tuesday. "That is why I emphasize the simple truth in literally every contact with the leaders of the democratic world, in all negotiations, in all interviews - it is unfair that Ukraine is still...

Mississippi is chlamydia and gonorrhea capital of the U.S. — while Nevada has the most syphilis cases per capita, official figures reveal. Cases of common sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) hit record highs across America during the first year of the pandemic, despite normal testing being interrupted by Covid. The outbreak was biggest in the Magnolia state thanks to a stigma around getting tested for the diseases and admitting to an infection, an epidemiologist in its department of health told DailyMail.com. They added that poor healthcare coverage — leading many to put off getting tested — and rising rates of drug...
