Younger Americans are far more likely to declare pro-Hamas attitudes than older Americans, according to a November Harvard-Harris poll. Forty-nine percent of people aged 18-24 blamed Israel for being “primarily responsible for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” the poll reported. In contrast, 22 percent of all Americans primarily blamed Israel for the crisis, which was started by Hamas’s feral attack on Jewish civilians on October 7.

Alaska U.S. Rep. Don Young has died, former aides said on Friday. Details were not immediately available. Young, a Republican, had served in Congress since 1973, when he was sworn in after winning a special election. Young was the longest-serving member of the U.S. House, was in his 25th term and running for a 26th. He was his state’s sole member of the House for more than three-fourths of the time Alaska has been a state.

Any parent can tell you why you shouldn’t indulge toddlers. Neil Young — memorably described by my twentysomething colleague Alexandra DeSanctis Marr as someone “I can’t remember having heard of” until he announced he didn’t like sharing the same electronic continent as Joe Rogan — is a toddler. He has the same grasp of reality as a toddler and, as of this winter, the same expectation that his demands will result in immediate actions. Indulge a temper tantrum, expect another. Young is 76 and hasn’t been in the national conversation in 30 years. He’s having the time of his life....

Yet another example of the extreme centralisation of the wealth and power on Earth has surfaced in the case of Neil Young's 'spat' with Spotify as he attempted to have them censor Joe Rogan and free speech on the COVID19 topic. Turns out Pfizer may have had a direct hand in the decision for Young to say what he has said - how ironic for such a 'rebel'. Selling out and being the complete opposite of what you claim to be is nothing new - many of Earth's most prominent characters have, in truth, fit into this category in important...

U.S.—For some unknown reason, several outlets are reporting a strong spike in internet searches for "Who is Neil Young?" With little information about this unknown character available, and with all memory of the man's existence having been erased from America's collective memory for decades, many are still being left guessing. "Your guess is as good as mine," said one analyst. "I've never heard of the guy in my life. Suddenly his name started popping up in the news so I googled his name. Even Google couldn't tell me, which is weird. I even get results when I type in my...

My daughter is 24 and graduating college this year. I want to get her a magazine subscription for young ladies. A lot of women's magazines lean heavily left even thought they're not supposed to be political. Can anyone recommend a young women's magazine that's fun to read and that might lean conservative?
