Voters in Sweden went to the polls on Sunday for an election that will determine whether a conservative leader remains in charge and a hard-right party wins ministerial jobs for the first time, or whether the center-left returns to power.
Asked by Gallup to name the nation’s greatest enemy, 50% of Americans volunteered China as their top choice, including 76% of Republicans. Democrats chose Russia as the greatest enemy of the United States. North Korea finished a distant third for respondents from both parties.

Last week, I saw Creed 3 at a local movie theater. As an Italian American born and raised in south Philadelphia, I grew up as a big fan of the Rocky anthology. Where I come from, it was a cultural rite of passage. As I competed in combat sports growing up, the movie later became a source of inspiration I would watch before competitions.
It's no secret that Philadelphia's voters elected a mayor and district attorney so incompetent that the city has experienced its worst violent crime surge in three centuries of its history. This is mainly because of the radical (and incompetent) left-wing criminal justice policies and reforms that were put into effect during their terms.

He does well in that position and is promoted yet again. Finally, he rises to a job that is beyond his abilities. He is no longer promoted and stays in the job he does not do well.
On Sept. 27, 2020, on the 100th anniversary of the Ottoman Turkish attack on the newly independent Republic of Armenia, Azerbaijan attacked the Armenian enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. While initially unsuccessful, the local Armenian defense forces collapsed after Turkish Special Forces and F-16s joined in. Before both sides accepted a ceasefire, Armenians lost control of half the enclave they ruled.
Every society seems to need taboos, no-go areas, de facto blasphemy laws. How the United States has kept its secular constitution as long as it has is a wonder. In any other circumstance, I might call it a miracle.
Norfolk Southern, the company that owned and operated the freight train that derailed in Ohio last month, will spend millions of dollars cleaning up East Palestine and compensating the community for losses.
