OpEd: Is MAGA going Marxist and Maoist? Trump's assault on free-market capitalism (August 12, 2025)

... As many CEOs understandably grew horrified last month at the prospect that New York City, the capital of capitalism, is on the brink of going socialist with the mayoral momentum of the inexperienced candidate Zohran Mamdani, they were ignoring the greater assault on free market capitalism that has already overtaken the nation in the Republican Party. While we agree that Mamdani's solutions to affordable housing and grocery prices threaten to undermine free markets by bowing to the appeal of populist anger, President Donald Trump has already begun doing so, but to suit his own grandiose political agenda instead.

Unlike any leader of any free-market economy around the world, President Trump has seized control of private enterprise's strategic decision-making and investment policies while invading corporate board rooms so that he may dictate leadership staffing, punish corporate critics, and demand public compliance with his political agenda. This is far more dangerous to capitalism than a city-run grocery store.

... Polish border guards chased off a Russian ship spotted near a gas pipeline off the Polish Baltic coast on Wednesday, officials have said.

The incident took place in waters near the northern town of Wadysawowo on the Baltic Sea, heightening concerns over potential sabotage in a region on edge since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

The Baltic Sea is bordered by eight NATO member countries, which have stepped up efforts to safeguard underwater cables and pipelines following a series of suspected sabotage incidents, some of which Western officials have attributed to Moscow.

"On October 1, a Russian fishing boat was spotted by the Border Guard reducing speed while performing suspicious maneuvers in close proximity to a submarine pipeline belonging to Petrobaltic," the border guard said in a statement on Thursday, referring to the company that works in the area. ...

Iron Age, actually. And a fabulously wealthy kingdom at times.

Perhaps a reset to current intel rather than the old, tired, worn out 'New Atheist' propaganda that was frankly irritating even to atheists.

Prof Lennox of Oxford and Cambridge only has three Doctorates in three different specialties, including Group Theory aka Abstract Algebra aka Pure Math... but his short comments at the link are interesting and corrective for theists, atheists, and agnostics alike. (Transcript under 'more')
