Russian economy reeling from sanctionsMarket Watch: Media reports trumpeting the resilience of the Russian economy in the face of the international response to its invasion of neighboring Ukraine are based on misunderstandings that don’t reflect what’s happening on the ground, according to a new paper from the Yale School of Management. The report, called “Business retreats and sanctions are crippling the Russian economy,” found that far from the “prosperity” touted by the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin, the sanctions — and the exodus of more than 1,000 global companies –are having a catastrophic effec... read more

Marjorie Taylor Greene was greeted with cheers of “MTG for VP” during her appearance with former President Donald Trump at the past weekend’s LIV Golf Tournament at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The conservative pro-Trump lawmaker said she was honored by the cheers and is open to being the former president’s running mate in the likelihood he runs again in 2024.... Trump allies have suggested that Greene is on the former president’s short list of potential vice presidential picks. After seeing all the ph... read more

Trump leads Biden despite overwhelming media oppositionBreitbart: Voters prefer former President Donald Trump over President Joe Biden in a hypothetical 2024 rematch, a Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday found. The survey found voters giving Trump a higher favorable impression than Biden, as 49 percent find Trump at least somewhat favorable, compared to 43 percent who said the same of Biden. While there is a predictable partisan divide, independent voters view Trump more favorably — 43 percent to Biden’s 36 percent. Likely voters were ultimately asked, “If the next U.S. presidential election were held today, and President Joe ... read more

Al Qaeda's return to Afghanistan after Biden bug outFox News: Al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahri's death in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan is raising questions about whether the country is being used as a base of operations for the terrorist group. "What unnerves me is that Al Zawahri felt comfortable enough being out in the open in the Kabul area after the Taliban takeover," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. "So much for the Taliban rejecting al-Qaeda. This is proof positive that Afghanistan has once again become a safe haven for international terrorists."

One Good Thing: A new classic of country heartbreak
Carly Pearce performs at CMS Fest 2022 in June. | Terry Wyatt/Getty Images Carly Pearce’s 29: Written in Stone turns a tumultuous year of her life into a near-perfect divorce album. Country music carries within it a promise of a kind of idyllic traditionalism, even in its most progressive forms. The genre implicitly promises that there is a place where you will find the one person who completes you and build a quiet life out in the middle of nowhere together. Yet in reality, life keeps getting in the way. The best country lives in the tension between those ideas, between the life ... read more

Self-compassion makes you a better person. Here’s how to practice it.
[image: A cartoon drawing of a relaxed girl blowing on a dandelion.] Denis Novikov/Getty Images/iStockphoto Science shows that self-compassion isn’t about letting yourself off the hook — in fact, it’s the opposite. “Oh, no!” I thought when I took an online test to measure my level of self-compassion and saw my score. “I’m below average!” Immediately I felt the urge to berate myself for the inadequacy — proving, of course, the test’s point. The test’s creator, psychologist Kristin Neff, pioneered the scientific study of self-compassion two decades ago. The field has exploded sin... read more

The Endgame
It's time, climate scientists warn, to consider the endgame -- human extinction. Damien Carrington writes: The risk of global societal collapse or human extinction has been “dangerously underexplored”, climate scientists have warned in an analysis. They call such a catastrophe the “climate endgame”. Though it had a small chance of occurring, given the uncertainties in future emissions and the climate system, cataclysmic scenarios could not be ruled out, they said. “Facing a future of accelerating climate change while blind to worst-case scenarios is naive risk management at best a... read more
