The article "Death by Lawyers" by Daniël Eloff, published in The Critic magazine (a British conservative-leaning outlet focused on culture, politics, and ideas), is a sharp critique of how excessive legalism, particularly through human rights lawyering, purposive interpretation of statutes, and judicial overreach, undermines effective governance an...

The Catholic Church's teaching on immigration, as laid out in paragraph 2241 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, offers a remarkably balanced and sensible framework — one that calls for generosity tempered by prudence, rights balanced by duties, and charity guided by the common good. Yet in recent years, the public rhetoric and policy advocacy...

While the rest of the world is busy worrying about minor inconveniences — like the escalating tensions in the Middle East or the fact that "limited tactical strikes" is the new way to say "good morning" — our Commander-in-Chief, Trump, has swooped in to save our attention spans. Forget the mushroom clouds; let's talk about the silver saucers. From ...

The ZeroHedge article (dated February 20, 2026, by "Tyler Durden"— is a sceptical, urgency-driven opinion piece arguing that one year into Donald Trump's second term, promised accountability for the "Deep State" (defined here as entrenched, unaccountable bureaucratic elements in agencies like the FBI, DOJ, and broader intelligence/security apparatu...

Testosterone: "the aggression hormone." I'm sure you've heard that before. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter in 2022, director James Cameron described his younger self as a "wild, testosterone-poisoned young man," and testosterone as "a toxin that you have to slowly work out of your system." There's an irony, of course, to hearing these w...

Very short video has emerged of an older white woman in England trying to get off a bus, only to be utterly defeated by a surge of black people — happy, not aggressive — streaming onto the bus. We don't know where in England the video was taken, nor the circumstances (perhaps it was after a football match or concert), but it's a perfect metaphor of...

The article from American Thinker by J.B. Shurk is an opinion piece arguing that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, now in its fifth year, carries a growing risk of nuclear escalation due to prolonged conflict driven by self-interested Western and European motives, combined with increasingly open discussions of nuclear options on multiple sides. The c...

Why would any president destroy the U.S. southern border? The Left typically "pounces" on anyone daring to suggest that the Biden administration had green-lighted illegal immigration to gain new constituents for agendas that otherwise were without broad public support. The Left smears critics of open borders as racist conspiracists spreading the "G...

If civilizations change over millennia, why does the modern world believe they can change in decades? Part of the answer lies in how difficult it is to understand societies fundamentally different from one's own. Another lies in human psychology: intelligent people struggle to understand stupidity, and compassionate people struggle to understand ma...

A year and change into the Golden Age — a deep, and thus far unquenched, thirst for justice among a huge portion of the MAGA base notwithstanding — the administration has prosecuted precisely zero COVID criminals. What's more, the Department of Justice, when Pam Bondi isn't promising to prosecute Americans for "hate speech" or rolling out new schem...

President Trump has slapped sweeping tariffs on imports from just about everywhere — 25% on Canada and Mexico, 10% on China for drug trafficking, and more to tackle those massive trade deficits bleeding our manufacturing dry. These weren't just taxes; they were weapons in the war to bring jobs home, renegotiate lousy deals, and make foreign cheater...

First, clarity: "socialism" isn't a monolith. In classic terms, it means collective ownership of production means, but in modern US discourse, it often refers to "democratic socialism" or "social democracy" — think expanded social safety nets, universal healthcare, free education, and wealth redistribution, like in Nordic countries. It's not full-o...

Today we are tackling a heavy topic inspired by a LifeNews article. The piece highlights a January 2026 review by neonatologist Carlo Bellieni, titled "A Rudimentary Consciousness Appears in the Late Fetal Period," published in EC Gynaecology. Bellieni's work challenges long-held assumptions about when unborn babies might start experiencing the wor...

Anthony Albanese's comments say nothing about academics and everything about the state of the liberal educational environment today. It's long past time that we should start calling public schools what they really are: government-run indoctrination mills. During a revealing moment at a press conference this week, Australian Prime Minister Anthony A...

 For nearly a century, the story of the modern West has been told as a narrative of religious decline. Each generation, we were assured, would be more secular than the last. Faith would retreat, reason would advance, and God would become an artifact — preserved in architecture, perhaps, but not in belief. And yet, quietly, something unexpected...

 Climate change may not rank as the single greatest financial scam in human history — but it undeniably sits near the top of modern contenders when viewed through a critical, sceptical lens. The sheer scale of money redirected, policies imposed, and economic distortions created under the banner of combating "man-made climate catastrophe" has f...

The recent developments in the US around gender-affirming care for minors show a noticeable shift among some major medical organisations, particularly regarding surgical interventions like chest/breast mastectomies, genital surgeries, and facial procedures for those under 18 or 19. This isn't a complete "retreat" across the board — many groups stil...

Civilisations do not imagine their own death. Individuals do, occasionally — usually at three in the morning, or after reading medical test results — but civilisations possess a peculiar psychological immunity. They assume continuity. Tomorrow will resemble today, which resembled yesterday, which resembled the day before that. The streetlights will...

 Suppose, for the sake of philosophical clarity and comedic fairness, that an evil genie appears on the steps of a typical Leftist university. He materialises in a puff of sulphur and undergraduate HEC debt, stretches his back after ten thousand years in a lamp, and announces: "Your wish is granted. The United States/Australia/the West is dest...

 At its core, UK hate crime legislation does not criminalise speech solely for being rude, opinionated, or even offensive. Hate crimes are defined as any criminal offence perceived by the victim or any other person to be motivated (wholly or partly) by hostility or prejudice toward a protected characteristic: race, religion, sexual orientation...
