Democrats Lost the Most in Midwestern ‘Factory Towns,’ Report Says
The party’s struggles in communities that saw declines in manufacturing and union jobs, and health care, could more than offset its gains in metropolitan areas.

Kinney (2015)
Absolute BOMBSHELL of a paper. Credit to @datadistribution for finding this
This paper goes over two important documents used by the APA to conclude that homosexuality is “natural” and not a mental disorder
Both documents proceed by providing historical reviews of homosexuality and psychoanalysis. One document begins with Sigmund Freud, who said homosexuality is natural. They note that Freud attempted to change one woman's sexual orientation, but after failing to do so, “Freud concluded that attempts to change homosexual sexual orientation were likely to be unsuccessful”
“It goes without saying that a letter written in 1935 is outdated—or antiquated, depending on one's choice of words. Freud's conclusion that changing a homosexually inclined person's sexual orientation is “likely impossible” after one try should qualify as a “suspect anecdote.” Hence, Freud's literature is deficient; it cannot support the proposition that homosexuality is a normal variant of human sexual orientation. (It is noteworthy that Freud also suggested that homosexuality is a “variation of the sexual function produced by a certain arrest of sexual development””
The two documents also go over the work of Alfred Kinsey ; his argument is in human beings, homosexuality has been demonstrated to be more common than previously assumed, therefore, there is a normal variation (or a normal “continuum”) of sexual attractions to different genders.
Kinsey's argument (that is adopted by the APA) is equally as deficient as Freud's. A “continuum” is a “continuous sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct”. In regards to homosexuality, Kinsey (and the APA authors) concludes that because some people experience sexual attraction to the same gender, then it automatically follows that there is a normal continuum of sexual attractions. It does not take a PhD to identify the deficiency in the argument. The normality of a behavior is not determined simply by observing a behavior in society. This is the case in all of medicine
To understand the argument better, take the example of Xenomelia which is “the desire of a healthy individual to have a fully functional limb amputated”. The removal of healthy limbs is a disordered action, and the desire for the removal of healthy limbs is a disordered desire or a disordered inclination. Individuals who act on the inclination to have a limb removed feel better after the limb is removed. In other words, those who act on their disordered desire (disordered thoughts) and perform the disordered action of removing a healthy limb experience an improved “quality of life,” or they feel pleasure after performing the disordered action. (The reader should notice here a parallel between the disordered-nature of xenomelia and the disordered-nature of homosexuality.)
The two documents then go on to cite a study from 1951 which asserts that homosexuality is natural because it is observed in animals and many human cultures.
Cannibalism has been shown to be widespread in human cultures and non-human animals (Petrinovich 2000, 92). Applying the behavior of cannibalism to the logic used by the APA would result in the following argument ; “Any action or behavior present in a wide range of animal species and human cultures suggests that the behavior or action is not unnatural; The behavior of humans eating humans and other animals eating their own species is present in a wide range of animal species and human cultures; Therefore, there is nothing unnatural about humans eating other human beings”
There is a lot more in this paper so I recommend you read it

Did NATO ‘betray’ Russia by expanding to the East?
The Kremlin claims the West broke a promise it made in the 1990s not to expand NATO, and is now using this claim to justify threats to invade Ukraine.

Vladimir Putin:
"Russia considers any manifestation of nationalism and xenophobia to be destructive because we are a multiethnic country. We must and we will fight these manifestations, but we must do so using methods that do not simply make it look as if we are doing something, but which really do achieve genuine results."
