The taxicab theory attempts to answer questions like: How do men choose who they want to marry? When do men make that decision? What can women do? The...

From NEXTDOOR policy. “…We stand in solidarity with neighbors advocating for racial justice and those speaking out against hate.

Social media has been widely blamed for destabilising democracies and fomenting civil unrest in Europe and North America. In July 2023, the French president, Emmanuel Macron, proposed restricting access to online platforms...

When I first starting writing for Breitbart.com way back in its first year, I was urged by my editors to make sure I carefully researched and documented any information in my columns. I would often insert the verifying link of the videos or newspaper resources to support the charges I asserted in the piece.

It is now 2024 and I have found that thanks to the technical advances in media manipulation, nothing is credible anymore. I have already...
