Now, the Biden-Harris ticket, along with their surrogates, claim the violence in Portland, Kenosha, Seattle, Chicago and the nation’s capital are President Donald Trump’s fault. This is happening, they argue, in “Trump’s America.” The leftists in national media, of course, happily forward the very same dishonest talking point....

Recent studies have shown that there is substantial variation in the psychological beliefs and behaviors of people living in different cultures around the world. In particular, Western Europeans and their cultural descendants in North America and Oceania display psychological traits that are “particularly unusual” compared to the rest of the world, the authors of a study published in the journal Science said. “Our paper really begins with the recognition that substantial global variation exists in many important dimensions of psychology,” Joseph Henrich, one of the authors of the study from George Mason University, told reporters in a teleconference....

And his progress through the Monaco youth system into the first team mirrors that of a former club legend. His fast feet and eye for goal evoke memories of the great Thierry Henry, whose record Mbappe broke to become Monaco’s youngest ever debutant and goalscorer.
