Peter Frost's recent piece in Aporia poses a provocative question: Are high-trust societies more xenophobic? His answer flips the moral script. Xenophobia isn't a bug or a moral failure in these societies — it's a feature that helps sustain the very conditions for high trust: strong in-group norms, low crime, reliable cooperation, and a share...
Ann Coulter cut through the sanctimony with characteristic bluntness: While U.S. law declares it illegal to sneak into the country uninvited, the Pope — invoking Our Lady of Guadalupe — insists that American immigration laws must yield to his assertions about the "dignity" of illegal entrants. The U.S. Catholic bishops doubled down, declaring...
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stepped up to deliver a rare Address to the Nation on 1 April 2026. The occasion?

Psychotherapist, Dr. Joseph Sansone, filed a Reply Brief to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthemeir in his effort to prohibit MRNA injections and products in the State of Florida because they are biological and technological weapons of mass destruction.

In late March/early April 2026, as tensions between Iran, the US, Israel, and Gulf states boiled over into open conflict, a new nightmare scenario exploded across social media and news outlets: Iran was reportedly threatening to cut the undersea internet cables that snake through the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz. Posts claimed these cable...
A popular YouTube video making the rounds (link below) highlights a painful reality for many older Australians: the Centrelink Age Pension system can quietly pressure retirees into selling their long-held family home. The video frames it as a "scam" — harsh language, but it captures the frustration of pensioners who discover that downsizing or liqu...
Recent opinion polls have sparked the claim that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is now more unpopular than President Donald Trump. In a world where both leaders face intense scrutiny amid global crises (the Iran conflict, fuel price spikes, and domestic economic pressures), the comparison highlights deep voter dissatisfaction on both sides of the ...
Australia's political and business class loves to talk about the dreaded skills shortage. It justifies everything from record net overseas migration to relaxed visa rules and employer-sponsored pathways. Yet as a recent report from Sustainable Population Australia (SPA), highlighted by Leith van Onselen at Macrobusiness.com.au, makes clear: the sho...
Matt Goodwin's new book, Suicide of a Nation: Immigration, Islam, Identity, lands like a thunderclap in a country that has spent decades pretending not to hear the warning sirens.

AFL legend Gary Ablett senior has unleashed at Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for bringing in a record number of immigrants while Aussies can't afford homes.

The rise of One Nation and the party's relative success in last weekend's South Australian election – gaining over 22% of the primary vote and surpassing the Liberal Party on 19% – has led to the usual outrage, equivocation and evasion by Australia's media and cultural establishment. How could this happen? These things are simply not meant to occur...
A new US Senate bill marketed as "common-sense guardrails" on military AI use is quietly doing the opposite. Introduced on March 17, 2026, by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), the AI Guardrails Act of 2026 (S.4113) claims to restrict the Pentagon from deploying dangerous AI applications. Yet buried in its language is a sweeping waiver provision ...

Issued on his first day back in office, the order directs federal agencies not to recognise automatic U.S. citizenship for children born after February 19, 2025, if neither parent is a U.S. citize...
The sudden uproar over photos of Bryon Noem — husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — dressing up with balloon-stuffed tops and tight outfits to chat with online fetish models, feels almost surreal in 2026. Here we have a private citizen (albeit married to a high-profile conservative figure) engaging in consensual adult cross-dr...
One can easily picture President Trump humming the iconic Fleetwood Mac riff from "Go Your Own Way" as he fired off his latest Truth Social broadside. Lindsey Buckingham's raw lyrics about breaking free from a dysfunctional dynamic perfectly capture the moment: "You can go your own way… go your own way." In the aftermath of America's decisive milit...

Australia is confronting a stark reminder of its vulnerabilities in global supply chains. Wesfarmers, one of the country's largest agribusiness players, has urged the federal government to intervene directly with Beijing to secure critical fertiliser supplies amid growing shortages. At the same time, billionaire Vikas Rambal, chairman of Perdaman G...
Australia's world-first ban on social media for under-16s sounded decisive when it kicked in on 10 December 2025. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, and YouTube were told to take "reasonable steps" to block accounts for anyone younger than 16. The goal was clear and supposedly compassionate: protect developing brains from p...
Walk down any aisle in your local Australian supermarket and the evidence stares back at you in bright packaging. Rows of colourful boxes, frozen ready-meals, sugary drinks, extruded snacks, and "healthier" reformulated bars — most of it ultra-processed food (UPF), what critics rightly call "Frankenstein food." These products are not simply cooked ...
As the US-Israeli campaign against Iran — Operation Epic Fury — enters its second month in late March 2026, a senior former Pakistani official has issued a blunt alert.
