Social Security is supposed to provide some stability in retirement. It's a regular monthly check that lasts as long as you live -- or is it? Ask many workers today, and they're not sure whether they'll get any money from the program in retirement. While these worries aren't baseless, Social Security will continue to exist in some capacity, whether you retire in 2026 or 2076. Image source: Getty I...

The End Of Multiculturalism And The Liberal Utopian Fantasy The first and most important thing to understand about multiculturalism is that it is not an end goal. Rather, it is a vehicle; the median step in a much larger agenda to erase sovereign cultures and strong national identities.

The End Of Multiculturalism And The Liberal Utopian Fantasy The first and most important thing to understand about multiculturalism is that it is not an end goal. Rather, it is a vehicle; the median step in a much larger agenda to erase sovereign cultures and strong national identities. Once a population no longer has a cultural framework and a set of shared principles to hold onto, they are less likely to care when the borders of their nation are erased and their government becomes subservient to foreign (or globalist) interests. Cultures are made up of specific peoples with standing birthrights, while nations are held together by shared values. The people of a country have to care about it enough to keep it alive and secure. Multicultural ideology is a process for alienating a society, diminishing their shared values and undermining their love of country. It's not an accident when liberal political leaders open up borders and saturate the nation with third world migrants who have completely contrary values. This sabotage is absolutely deliberate. For the past several decades the populations of the west (and parts of Asia) have been regaled with liberal visions of Utopia; narratives of eternal peace and "brotherhood" achieved through engineered diversity. But if diversity "is our strength" as the elites claim, then why is it that first world nations only grow more unstable with each new wave of third world migrants? If these migrants are a golden economic resource providing invaluable labor and talent, why are all the countries they come from festering in filth and decay and crime and war? If these cultures are equal to the west (or superior to the west), then there must be some tangible examples of success or wealth or accomplishment or invention that are not drawn directly from the wealth of the west. We search high and low and find nothing. Many national populations are getting wise to the scam. They can see that their willingness to "adapt" and "tolerate" is sl...
England wing made 34 appearances during 2024-25 ‘It’s a lot of rugby. I could have managed my time better’ England’s Tommy Freeman has revealed the extent of his mental struggles after the victorious British & Irish Lions tour of Australia at the end of a season in which he exceeded the player welfare limits for the number of appearances made.

England wing made 34 appearances during 2024-25 ‘It’s a lot of rugby. I could have managed my time better’ England’s Tommy Freeman has revealed the extent of his mental struggles after the victorious British & Irish Lions tour of Australia at the end of a season in which he exceeded the player welfare limits for the number of appearances made. Freeman made 34 appearances last season – 19 for Northampton, nine for England and six for the Lions – and has spoken of a “built-up anxiety” as a result of the workload. The mandated limit is 30 but players were given dispensation for the Lions tour on the proviso they were given five weeks off upon returning from Australia and missed the first two rounds of the 2025-26 season.

Rayo had to prepare at Getafe’s place and play at Leganés’s stadium. But they still managed to upset Atlético Madrid One day in November, the coach of Rayo Vallecano decided that was it: he was out.

Rayo had to prepare at Getafe’s place and play at Leganés’s stadium. But they still managed to upset Atlético Madrid One day in November, the coach of Rayo Vallecano decided that was it: he was out. The captain in whom he finds strength had reached a similar conclusion long ago, handing in his armband as an act of protest and dignity. Two Fridays ago, the squad signed a statement saying they couldn’t carry on like this. And last Friday, the fans who’ve been through it all before decided they too would walk away. Yet 48 hours later, after another week that proved them right, resisting everything, there they were still, celebrating another implausible success, another day when they had stuck it to The Man. If not, admittedly, the man they’d like to stick it to. Actually, ‘there’? Not all of them were in the same place, even if that was a way of showing they were in this together. Because Rayo fans were out on the streets of the self-styled independent republic of Vallecas with their banners and scarves and songs on Sunday, while their team and coach were 10km south, playing in a different city. With their training ground unusable and their home home ground declared to be so too, they had to prepare at Getafe’s place and play at Leganés’s stadium. Where, in front of 9,000 empty seats, and kicking off in the relegation zone, they only went and beat Atlético Madrid 3-0, three days after Diego’s Simeone’s side had battered Barcelona 4-0 .

Vienna turns into a playground of camp, cruelty and aristocratic disdain in a blackly comic take on the Báthory legend – with Huppert gloriously suited to the title role From the dark heart of central Europe comes a midnight-movie romp through the moonlit urban glades of Euro-goth and camp from German director Ulrike Ottinger. As for the star … well, it’s the part she was born to play. Isabelle Huppert is Countess Elizabeth Báthory, 16th-century Hungarian noblewoman and serial killer, legendary for having the blood of hundreds of young girls on her hands and indeed her body, in an attempt to attain eternal youth. The “blood countess” has been variously played in the past by Ingrid Pitt, Delphine Seyrig, Paloma Picasso, Julie Delpy and many more, but surely none were as qualified as Huppert who importantly does not modify her habitual hauteur one iota for the role. Her natural aristocratic mien and cool hint of elegant contempt were never so well matched with a part. She gives us the classic Huppert opaque gaze – part dreamy, part coldly assessing – and the politely bemused half-smile of concealed distaste, merging into a pout, at the absurdity or ill manners of someone to whom she cannot avoid being introduced. Unlike the other mere mortals in this film, Huppert’s face is lit like that of a Golden Age Hollywood star, giving her impeccable maquillage a ghostly sheen of profane sainthood. Continue reading...

Ozempic has been one of Novo Nordisk 's (NYSE: NVO) main growth drivers for several years now and has practically become a household name. However, the Denmark-based drugmaker has lost ground to its biggest competitor, Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) , in the GLP-1 market. Can Novo Nordisk turn things around and increase its market share? That will largely depend on its next-generation therapies, since its current lineup will lead to declining sales this year, according to the company's guidance. One of Novo Nordisk's promising candidates is called CagriSema. This investigational medicine recently made more headlines. Let's consider whether CagriSema's progress is a good reason to invest in Novo Nordisk's stock. Continue reading
