The government’s evidence about what it found during its raid on Mar-a-Lago may be contaminated and the case seems ready to implode.

Conservatives would do well to remember that a political system of democratic leveling will always find new depths of evil, and fresh bodies to swell its ranks.

Over the course of the last two decades, American teens have reported disturbingly high rates of “suicidal ideation.” According to a study cited in The Guardian, between 2010 and 2020 the rates of attempted suicide rose by 188 percent among teen girls, and by 48 percent among boys.

By now it should be clear that the internet, particularly our use of social media, has changed the way we interact with others. What’s more, these changes impact our way of thinking and judging. Psychology plays into it as well—social media stirs up our impulse for narcissism and posturing, thereby incentivizing the creation of a variety of personae separated from authentic existence.
