I was converted to capitalism by a few years at the University of Chicago and a few decades working internationally and seeing socialism up close and personal. Until recently, I was confident that we need not worry about trying that experiment again because socialism had been tested and had failed. It looks like I was wrong. Socialism is on the rise. Don’t blame Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Blame ourselves....

I’m not alone. I’ve found that many people react to redheads the same way. They assume we are all clowns. And who can blame them? Every redhead they have ever seen on TV or in the movies has been a comedian. Famous redheads don’t fall in love or save the day. They just waddle around in baggy pants and shove handfuls of chocolates into their mouths. As a result, real-life redheads of every demeanor and personality must strive to forge identities apart from Bozo and Lucy....

That’s 35 goals in what had been an “average” season for him up until the past couple of weeks. Forty-two hat-tricks for Real Madrid. Fifty Champions League knockout goals. Thirteen semi-final goals in this competition. Ronaldo matches Messi UCL record Cristiano Ronaldo is going to win Real Madrid the Champions League again. There was a statistic floating around when Ronaldo scored the opening goal here which declared that he had just hit his 101st goal in this competition whereas Atletico Madrid in their entire history had managed just the 100....

Although stock shortages of the PS5 are expected to continue for the foreseeable future, Sony just announced that the DualSense controllers would be receiving new colors. Starting this June, PS5 players will have the option to purchase either the Midnight Black and Cosmic Red DualSense. Of course, many are probably wondering whether the console itself will be receiving new colors. Unfortunately, the console recolor will likely not happen anytime soon, and here are the reasons why....

Never mind that the small group of rioters didn’t use guns at the U.S. Capitol. Never mind that congressmen are allowed to carry in the U.S. Capitol, but not on the legislative floor, where Congress was meeting at the time to count Electoral College votes. If there had been a real threat to legislators, they would have been defenseless. Of course, these same groups and national Democrats raised no concerns about the violent riots that occurred when Trump was inaugurated four years ago....

A look of worry and concern spread across the woman’s, Nagatoro’s older sister Anetoro, face. She continues and as she sees him peeking through the window, she snaps a gallery of photos before donning a confident, carefree demeanor and threatening to report him. The episode then continues where the last one left off, with Senpai explaining who he is and his purpose for visiting before Anetoro introduces herself. She invites him in....

Trump has consistently teased the possibility of a 2024 presidential run but has not formally confirmed his plans. Some Republicans strongly oppose the former president seeking elected office in the future, while others remain supportive of Trump but fear he could hurt the GOP in down-ballot races in more moderate districts. Meanwhile, most Republican voters appear supportive of him seeking the White House again. “Donald J. Trump is running again in 2024, there’s absolutely no doubt about that,” Bannon said in an interview with Newsmax on Friday....

Earlier this month, Brees issued an apology for comments he made about kneeling during the national anthem, a gesture first made in the NFL by Colin Kaepernick in 2016 when he was protesting racial injustice and police brutality. The 41-year-old initially said he disagreed with sports stars who take a knee while the anthem is playing, remarks which were made in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis last month, prompting demonstrations across the United States and beyond....

Trump smirked when he waved his finger and said to Putin “don’t meddle in the election, please,” after he was asked by a journalist on Friday if he would warn the Russian president against any repeated effort to interfere in the future. When Trump made this remark, Putin, who was sitting next to him, was laughing and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was smiling, which The New York Times noted, triggered a “fresh furor over his accommodating approach to Russia....

Walter Shaub, an ex-director of the Office for Government Ethics, suggested “history books” would note the president’s split with the FBI boss following his decision to fire former director James Comey. He also tweeted “congratulations” to former Russian Ambassador the United States Sergey Kislyak, mockingly suggesting he would become the next FBI director. “The history books will note that he fired not only an FBI Director but also an Attorney General for allowing an investigation of his campaign,” Shaub tweeted....

In a series of tweets, the former president’s eldest son claimed that posts made by independent journalist Matt Taibbi at the behest of Twitter owner Elon Musk show that apparent conspiracy theorists are “right again.” Trump Jr. also used the posts to revert back to the common conservative tactic of mocking people’s use of preferred pronouns. “I identify as a conspiracy theorist, my pronouns are Told/You/So,” a meme shared by Trump Jr....

Trump Jr., son of former President Donald Trump, spoke to Charlie Kirk on his radio show on Thursday and claimed that the FBI agents that conducted the August 8 raid at Mar-a-Lago were members of the agency’s Hostage Rescue Team (HRT). The search warrant, served on August 8, was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from the former president’s Florida home in January this year....

Sir Kim Darroch has come under fire after some of his communications with London were leaked, detailing his concern over the state of Trump’s administration. Darroch, who had been due to step down at the end of this year, branded the Trump White House “insecure,” “clumsy” and “inept,” among other things. The president does not deal well with personal attacks, and—somewhat proving the ambassador’s point—responded to the leak by declaring he would no longer work with Darroch, who he described as “not liked or well thought of” in Washington....

The latest survey by Change Research and CNBC revealed that 47 percent of likely voters in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would back the commander-in-chief if an election were held the same day. By comparison, 45 percent told pollsters they would opt for former Vice President Biden. A further 4 percent said they would back a third-party candidate while 3 percent were unsure who they would back in November....

According to data from OpenSea, a popular online NFT marketplace, the floor price for Trump NFTs is around 0.16 Ethereum, which converts to around $190 at the time of publication. The NFTs were released by Trump on Thursday at a starting price of $99. The double in price of the NFTs comes shortly after they sold out just a few hours after they were released by the former president....

The latest Hill/HarrisX poll, released on Friday afternoon, showed Trump’s approval rating slightly rising by two points to 49 percent from 47 percent. Although the difference falls within the survey’s margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, it’s unsurprising as the president’s approval rating has been steadily increasing for months. The poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters online between February 6-7. Newsweek reached out to Trump’s 2020 reelection campaign and the White House for comment....

And while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has often been touted as the person most likely to challenge Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, a Conservative Political Action Conference’s (CPAC) straw poll suggests that Trump may have the edge. About 69 percent of attendees chose Trump when asked who they preferred as the Republican nominee for president in 2024, according to results announced on the CPAC state ahead of Trump’s speech on Saturday....

Trump was given a permanent suspension from Twitter following the riot at the Capitol that left five people dead as Congress met to finalize the results of the 2020 presidential election. Twitter said the president’s posts could pose “the risk of further incitement of violence.” Trump has since communicated through official White House communications and speeches. Trump’s adult children and many of his closest aides still have active Twitter accounts....

There Is No Evidence That Chocolate Itself Causes Acne It’s good news for all you chocoholics: eating chocolate does not cause pimples. There are no studies linking this sweet treat to the development of acne. There is no evidence that cocoa beans, from which chocolate is made, cause pimples. And while some point to the sugar that also makes up a portion of all chocolate treats, even that evidence is weak....

The clip, shared by TikTok user Beatrice Albino (@bea.albino) from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, showed a stoic dog staring right into the camera as a person yells at it while holding what appeared to be a piece of clothing with a hole in it. Sitting still on a couch without moving its gaze, barely blinking, and with its ears flipped backward throughout the scolding, the pooch later quietly slipped off the sofa and escaped to a bed in another room as the video ended....
