Hinter Trumps Havard-Feldzug steckt ein ausgeklügelter Plan, der aufgehen könnte

5 days ago | focus.de | Michael E. Hartmann

Die heftige Auseinandersetzung zwischen Trump und der Eliteuniversität Harvard wird von den meisten deutschen Beobachtern, je nach politischer Haltung, entweder als Kampf für die Freiheit der Wissenschaft gegen einen autoritären Staat angesehen oder aber als berechtigte Reaktion auf die lange Zeit vorherrschende Woke- und Cancel Culture.

1 month ago | capitalresearch.org | Michael E. Hartmann

Remembering and honoring the best of conservatism, philanthropy, and conservative philanthropy. There are many reasons to appreciate The Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation’s honoring of James Piereson with one of its Bradley Prizes.

Im Merz-Kabinett setzt sich bedenklicher Trend fort, über den kaum jemand spricht

1 month ago | focus.de | Michael E. Hartmann

Das neue Bundeskabinett unter Friedrich Merz weist gleich zwei Besonderheiten auf, die es deutlich von allen anderen Regierungskabinetten seit 1949 unterscheiden.
