Professor David Flint has put his finger on an uncomfortable question about the political response to the Bondi Beach terrorist massacre. Why has so much attention been directed towards guns when the defining feature of the atrocity was not simply the weapon used, but the antisemitic extremist ideology of those allegedly responsible? The Albanese f...
Iran has issued one of its more ominous warnings since the present war began. According to a senior Iranian official, Tehran is preparing to abandon what it describes as its defensive posture and move to a "fully offensive" strategy unless Washington changes course within a matter of weeks. The obvious question is what "offensive" actually means. I...
China's real power is not the finished electric car or the smartphone that reaches the consumer. It is the vast, invisible layer beneath: the chemicals, the steel, the bearings, the fasteners, the active pharmaceutical ingredients, the industrial ceramics, the pumps and motors and packaging that make every modern product possible. Intermediate good...
In the heart of Silicon Valley, the people who spent years writing the code, training the models and shipping the products are now marching outside the offices of the companies they helped make rich. They carry signs about job loss and existential risk. They demand pauses on the most powerful systems. They warn that artificial intelligence could di...
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu recently declared that "every human has a legal right to the United States." This is not a fringe opinion, it reflects the core belief of the modern open-borders Left, across the West. In their worldview, national borders are immoral constructs, citizenship is a global human right, and Western nations have a moral obligatio...
Introduction: The Unavoidable Foundation The fate of a civilization is inextricably tied to the physical and mental vitality of its people. When a nation's collective health fails, so too does its capacity for rational governance, economic productivity, and social cohesion. The crumbling pillars of American power are not ...
On July 30 and 31, 2026, roughly 80,000 migrants crossed from Morocco into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta in one of Europe's largest mass border breaches in recent memory. Spanish government estimates now put the number still remaining at 7,000–9,000 (local authorities suggest it could be as high as 11,000) in a city whose normal population is only 8...
A Conservative MP has looked at the UK Department for Education's own numbers and drawn a straightforward conclusion. White British pupils have already fallen below 60 per cent of the state secondary school population: 59.4 per cent in 2026, the first time on record. Extrapolating the trend, Neil O'Brien projects they will become a minority in thei...
There comes a point where the official narrative becomes so strained, so costly, and so resistant to contradictory evidence that ordinary scepticism starts to look like conspiracy theorising. Tom Forrester-Paton's recent essay in The Daily Sceptic asks, with some discomfort, whether his own opposition to climate catastrophism has tipped him into th...
"Meta has a new message warning you to "be careful" when you search for mass migration related news like Ceuta on Instagram, which includes a "get migration info" button that offers "help with moving to a new country." That then takes potential migrants to a UN website with links to info for asylum seekers, as well as a UN app that brands itself as...
Female genital mutilation (FGM) presents multiculturalism with a philosophical problem that cannot be solved by another diversity slogan. A liberal society says that different cultures should be respected, that immigrants should not be required to abandon their heritage merely because they cross a border, and that cultural diversity enriches the re...
Former U.S. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed on August 16, 2026, that high-level strategy meetings in Washington are actively discussing the potential use of nuclear weapons against Iran. "I'm not speculating, I know. And it's pure evil," she wrote on X, offering no documents, named sources, or corroborating details. She accused the Tru...
Thomas Jefferson once compressed one of the great lessons of political history into a single sentence: "War is an instrument entirely inefficient toward redressing wrong; and multiplies, instead of indemnifying losses." It is tempting to dismiss such words as pacifist idealism. Nations sometimes must fight. An invasion cannot necessarily be stopped...
Australia is launching what authorities describe as the largest wild-bird vaccination experiment ever attempted. Up to 5,000 cute little penguins at Phillip Island and St Kilda will be captured, microchipped, injected twice with a poultry-derived H5N2 killed-virus vaccine, released, and later recaptured for the second dose. The stated goal is to pr...
In the wake of the December 14, 2025 Bondi Beach attack, in which 15 people were killed at a Hanukkah celebration by attackers using legally obtained firearms, the Albanese government moved quickly to tighten Australia's already strict gun laws. Legislation followed in early 2026 establishing a National Gun Buyback Scheme, ownership caps, reclassif...
The tragedy is not only that Tasmania's largest farm is being turned into a carbon plantation. The deeper tragedy is that the Australian Senate refused even to examine the question. A motion for a simple inquiry into the sale of Rushy Lagoon was put. It was defeated 34 to 27. The chamber preferred not to know. Rushy Lagoon covers more than 21,000 h...
In Canada it may soon become a criminal offence to tell the truth about history, or at least to question the official version of it. The new forbidden category is "residential-school denialism." Once the term is written into the Criminal Code, anyone who condones, denies, downplays or justifies the Indian residential-school system, or who "misrepre...
Michael Baume has the measure of it. Anthony Albanese, Albo, is not a modern Charles II, the merry monarch who restored the old order after the chaos. He is a new Oliver Cromwell: the man who tears down, who regards the established social and economic arrangements as obstacles to be incinerated in the name of a higher Leftist cause. The language of...
The Left has decided that the media killed Jason Arday. Not the plagiarism. Not the fabrications about his life story. Not the universities that waved him through on the strength of a compelling narrative. The journalists. The questions. The "hounding." In the days since his death they have reached for the strongest language available: modern-day l...
There's a fight happening on the internet about salt, and both sides are missing the point. One side posts a Hans Zimmer quote next to a Lancet study and declares the shaker innocent. The other side rolls out the randomised controlled trials and declares the science settled. Both of them are arguing about a bystander while the actual criminals walk...
