The growing appeal of democratic socialism in the United States and the West, should not simply be dismissed as another outbreak of youthful ideological fashion. Something deeper is happening. Michael Snyder draws attention to the increasing popularity of socialism among younger Americans and connects it to widespread dissatisfaction with the exist...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has announced she is freezing her eggs. At thirty-six, the congresswoman is putting her reproductive future on ice so she can keep her options open for higher office. The decision is being framed as empowerment, normalisation, and a brave conversation about the impossible balancing act faced by ambitious women. Fair e...

The Substack essay by COVID critic John Fleetwood, critiques the circular logic used to establish a "natural" origin for SARS-CoV-2, identifying a critical flaw in the scientific methodology employed by establishment researchers. This "evidentiary loop" is not an isolated error in one study; it is a systemic feature of a corrupted research apparatu...

There is something almost brutally clarifying about the latest controversy in Australian football. Freya Golding, a transgender woman who reportedly stands around 6 feet 2 inches and weighs more than 90 kilograms, has been cleared to continue playing in the Adelaide Footy League women's competition despite objections from three clubs that raised co...

Down in the octopus's garden, beneath the waves, evolution has been conducting experiments that would never have received ethics approval at a modern university. Take an animal, give it eight arms, remove the bones, cover the arms in suckers that can both touch and chemically sense the world, distribute much of the nervous system throughout those a...

There are moments in history when the awesome majesty of the American presidency is revealed in all its splendour. Washington crossing the Delaware. Lincoln at Gettysburg. Kennedy staring down the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Reagan demanding that Gorbachev tear down the Berlin Wall. And now we have Donald Trump disappearing inside...

Australia once sold itself to the world as a destination for serious study and eventual contribution. Over the past three decades that offer has been inverted. International education has become a high-volume migration pipeline dressed in the language of export earnings, and the country has absorbed the downstream costs while universities and migra...

Labor has conceded the obvious: the post-border-reopening surge in net overseas migration created a mess. Housing shortages worsened, rents rose sharply in the major cities, infrastructure lagged, and public services felt the strain. The government responded with tighter student-visa settings, higher application fees, integrity measures against non...

The pandemic elevated a particular kind of expert into a position of near-unquestioned authority. Credentialled voices insisted that the science was settled, that trade-offs did not exist or could be ignored, and that dissent was not merely mistaken but morally dangerous. Years later the record looks different. Anthony Fauci's repeated invocation o...

A forthcoming book by a former Pfizer toxicologist is set to reopen one of the most contested chapters of the pandemic. The Vaccine Mafia: Pfizer's Former Chief Toxicologist Proves How Toxic Substances Were Unlawfully Sold to Us as a Solution for Covid-19, by Dr. Helmut Sterz, is scheduled for release around late August 2026. Sterz spent decades in...

Labor is not building a stronger Australia. It is dismantling the social fabric that made the country workable, and many of its activists and politicians appear to enjoy the process. Legitimate government, as the classical liberal tradition understood it, rests on a simple bargain. Citizens surrender some natural freedoms in exchange for the protec...

Jon Bernthal has made a successful career out of portraying violent men. As Frank Castle in The Punisher, he has spent considerable screen time demonstrating what happens when aggression, physical power and determination are combined in one formidable package. One might therefore have expected him to appreciate an elementary proposition about risk:...

Perhaps World War III will not begin with a declaration of war. There may be no single morning on which humanity wakes to newspaper headlines announcing that the Third World War officially commenced at midnight. The more disturbing possibility is that historians looking backwards will eventually identify a period like the present and conclude that ...

The British Medical Journal has published an opinion piece that treats criticism of Anthony Fauci as an attack on science and public health themselves. Authors Gavin Yamey and Boghuma Titanji argue that a recent Senate hearing,where Fauci invoked the Fifth Amendment more than a hundred times, will erode trust in vaccines, chill international resear...

There is something inadequate about describing the great authoritarian catastrophes of history entirely in terms of politics. We speak of ideologies, institutions, economic conditions, class conflicts and geopolitical circumstances, all of which certainly matter. Yet when we look closely at the people who rise to the top of particularly brutal syst...

"Intelligence officials have warned that the New IRA is plotting a campaign of violence to force migrants out of Ireland. The Mail has the story: https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16038861/New-IRA-terrorists-plan-drive-migrants-Ireland-campaign-violence.html The plan by the New IRA – the successor organisation to the Real IRA – comes in the wa...

 Fertility is more than another government statistic. It tells us whether a civilisation still believes in its own future. It tells us whether people have the confidence, money, health and stability to raise the next generation. When the number keeps falling, year after year, something has gone badly wrong. Usually several things have. The con...

Even if we grant, for the sake of argument, that global net zero is desirable in principle, there remains an increasingly uncomfortable question: is it actually going to happen? The latest global energy figures make that question difficult to avoid. As Macrobusiness notes, citing the 2026 Statistical Review of World Energy, global consumption of oi...

Of all the political blunders Anthony Albanese might reasonably have expected to confront as Prime Minister, explaining whether he made a joke about the breasts of Japan's first female prime minister surely cannot have ranked highly on the list. Yet here we are. Anthony Albanese is facing renewed criticism over comments made during a podcast appear...

 Arizona State University, one of the largest public universities in the country, offers a revealing snapshot of priorities in its fall 2026 course catalogue. Students can choose from eight classes with witchcraft, magic, or the occult in the title. Christianity receives exactly one. That disparity is not a minor scheduling quirk. It is a sign...
