On November 24, 2025, the Australian Senate learned — again — that decorum is no substitute for debate. Pauline Hanson, the indefatigable 71-year-old leader of One Nation, entered the chamber draped in a black burqa, a burst of floral fabric visible beneath the veil like a flare fired into institutional complacency. It was a deliberate, declarative...
Picture this: You're in a pub in Manchester (or soon Melbourne), nursing a pint, when a mate pipes up about the latest jihad attack — say, the one that just rocked London in October 2025, leaving three dead and a community shell-shocked. You nod, mutter something about patterns in ideology, and suddenly, the room freezes. Not because your take's wr...
Placed on in the grand chessboard of global trade, China plays like a grandmaster with a stacked deck — command economy fiat allowing overcapacity dumps, rare-earth chokepoints, and supply-chain strangleholds that bleed Western jobs and industries dry. As 2025 closes with Beijing eyeing a record-shattering $1 trillion+ trade surplus (up from $992 b...
Gather round, children of the free and enlightened West, for I bring you the greatest military thriller of our time. Title: Operation Flashlight McDroneFace Plot summary: For weeks in late 2025, the entire continent of Europe collectively lost its ever-loving mind because someone spotted blinking lights in the sky at night. Naturally, the onl...
UK Labour's attempt to codify a definition of Islamophobia — or its rebranded cousin, "anti-Muslim hate" — has ignited a firestorm of criticism. What began as an earnest effort to combat prejudice against Muslims has morphed into a cautionary tale of overreach, public backlash, and unintended consequences. I see this not as an attack on any communi...
Last time, we stared into the abyss of the Cartesian demon reborn as a 405B-parameter LLM, capable of conjuring entire scientific corpora that fool even the jaded. You read a paper claiming waffles accelerate baldness? It might be a real study from a mid-tier journal, p-hacked into oblivion by desperate postdocs. Or it might be a hallucinated artif...
Every month the same hysterical chorus belts out a louder, more breathless lie: "Education is Australia's third-biggest export!" "$50 billion and climbing!" "Bigger than coal, bigger than iron ore, bigger than natural gas combined!" Recently the Australian Bureau of Statistics quietly admitted what the rest of us have known for years: the entire $5...
US journalist David Brooks is at it again; see link below. From the plush safety of his New York Times perch, he sighs the sigh of a disappointed professor grading a paper from a promising but wayward student. Christians, he laments, are becoming too loud, too certain, too unwilling to fold their convictions into the approved beige of elite c...
Coiled in the gilded echo chambers of Davos and Silicon Valley, the ultra-rich preach "build back better" with the fervour of televangelists. Open borders? Climate migration? Debt-fuelled utopias? All part of the grand plan to "save" us plebs from ourselves. But when the bill comes due — crime waves crashing like tsunamis, economies wheezing on lif...
In the shadowed underbelly of Xi Jinping's "harmonious" China, where crosses are shaved from rooftops and Bibles branded contraband, the hammer falls harder than ever. Just weeks after a nationwide blitz on October 9, 2025, that snared nearly 30 leaders of the Beijing Zion Church, authorities have now formally arrested 18 pastors and co-workers, ch...
News that up to 50 universities in England could shutter within the next two to three years has sparked the usual hand-wringing: "Crisis!" cry the vice-chancellors, clutching their oat milk lattes. "Turmoil!" echo the education correspondents, who seem to view higher education less as a pursuit of truth and more as a subsidised jobs program f...
Warning: shocking content: The BBC's Sofia Bettiza just published a piece that should be required reading for every politician who still parrots the line that "Europe is a continent of refuge." Her story follows Esther from Lagos and Nina from Kosovo — two women among a fast-rising tide of single females gambling everything on the Mediterrane...
Picture this: A self-proclaimed "driller and fracker" from the oil patch steps up to the mic at The Blaze, spilling five unvarnished truths that torch the green gospel. "Peak oil isn't real. 'Energy transition' isn't happening," he declares, calling out the "cult's 'green future'" as a scam fuelled by diesel, coal, and outright lies. It's ringing t...
Imagine if the key to keeping your brain sharp, warding off the fog of aging, and even slashing your biological clock by up to seven years wasn't some exotic supplement or high-tech gadget, but something as simple and joyful as picking up a paintbrush, strumming a guitar, or diving into a strategy game. That's the tantalising promise from a groundb...
Despite the Pentagon being one of the most surveilled spots on Earth, there's "not a single clear video or photo" of American Airlines Flight 77—a Boeing 757—approaching, manoeuvring, or slamming into the building at 9:37 a.m. on September 11, 2001. Author Michael Atkinson argues that 2001-era cameras (7.5-15 fps) could've captured the 155-foot jet...
Dear Taxpayers, Season's greetings from Canberra, where the summer sun is shining, the barbecues are sizzling, and your hard-earned dollars are winging their way to ski fields, grand finals, the Formula 1 in Melbourne, the Boxing Day Test, and (because why not?) an "exclusive Uluru sunset dinner" that somehow required the Labor clan to be on the of...
Jeffrey Tucker (link below) is right: if Chesterton came back today and saw Britain and the West in December 2025, he would not be shocked. He would simply open his 115-year-old book, point to page 187, and say, "I told you so." Chesterton's core argument in What's Wrong with the World was brutally simple: A civilisation that abandons the transcend...
Politicians and activists love to sell solar panels and wind turbines as the heroes of a low-cost, planet-saving saga. "Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels!" they proclaim, citing plummeting panel prices and sunny spreadsheets from outfits like IRENA, which in July 2025 declared that 91% of new renewable projects undercut fossil alternatives. ...
Simmering in the endless climate wars, one sacred cow has been untouchable: The rise in atmospheric CO2 from ~315 ppm in 1959 to 425 ppm today is overwhelmingly driven by human fossil fuel emissions, and that's the root of modern warming. Textbooks, IPCC reports, and Al Gore documentaries have drilled this into us for decades. But what if the causa...
It's a clash that's equal parts tech thriller and geopolitical cage match, the European Union just lobbed its first Digital Services Act (DSA) grenade at Elon Musk's X, slapping the platform with a €120 million ($140 million) fine for "transparency violations." But let's cut the Brussels bureaucratese: This isn't about blue checkmarks or ad reposit...
