    Why is the United States Only the 25th Most Free Country in the World? | Derrick Morgan

    The Index of Economic Freedom is an annual report published by the Heritage Foundation, analyzing the degree of economic freedom in 184 economies around the world. Concerningly, this year’s edition, the 30th, registered a 23-year low in the global economic freedom rating, and has seen the United States’ rating, ranked 25th of the countries included, continue to decrease. 
    Here to help us understand the Index and how we can use it to promote good economic policy is Heritage’s Executive Vice President Derrick Morgan.

Why is Israel having problems with relations with the Middle East?

The progressives in the US have definitely taken the wrong side of human society. The US has lost spiritual intelligence. Knowing US missionaries, Israelis treat other cultures like lower class humans. They have brought some criticism from the Middle East upon themselves. IS college students are exactly what you have talked about. Colleges are recruiting LGBTQ+ students into the schools of education to spread their genderism k-12. My own Alumnus, Ole Miss, is actively recruiting LGBT+ students from rural areas and community colleges with the promise of paid tuition with promise to teach 3 years in the state of Mississippi. Their plan is to take over the K-12 student minds in Mississippi and beyond. Their school of diversity, imbedded inside the college of education, has a tool kit and mission statement similar to what BLM has published on their radical website. What a parallel!
