Every few years, a new study is triumphantly circulated through liberal media claiming that "higher IQ people are more liberal." The implication is never subtle. Liberalism — now increasingly indistinguishable from woke moralism — is presented not merely as morally superior, but as intellectually inevitable. If you disagree, the subtext runs, you a...
The events unfolding in Iran since late December 2025 represent one of the most severe challenges to the Islamic Republic in decades. Sparked by crushing economic hardship — hyperinflation, a collapsing rial, and widespread poverty — the protests have spread to all 31 provinces, evolving into explicit calls against Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the ...
Ah, the gift that keeps on giving: COVID-19 vaccine controversies. Just when you thought we'd moved on to debating whether AI will steal your job or your soul, along comes a fresh preprint study stirring the pot. Published on December 5, 2025, by Kevin McKernan, Charles Rixey, and Jessica Rose, Ph.D., this paper dives into the murky world of residu...
Liberal societies like to think of themselves as uniquely capable of confronting historical injustice. Australia, in particular, prides itself on having legal frameworks — such as the UN-inspired Racial Discrimination Act 1975 — designed to prevent racial harm, promote dignity, and protect minorities from abuse. But embedded within this moral archi...
Australia's population is on track to grow significantly in the coming decades, potentially reaching around 40 million by the mid-to-late 21st century under certain migration scenarios, if not sooner, with a white minority. This growth is largely driven by net overseas migration, as fertility rates remain low and the population ages. While natural ...
Abortion has always been framed as a matter of personal choice, legal debate, or political compromise. But the sheer scale of human life lost to this practice is now impossible to ignore. According to recent reports, abortion was the leading cause of death worldwide in 2025, claiming an estimated 73 million lives. To put that in perspective, that i...
Ah, multiculturalism – that grand experiment where diverse communities blend seamlessly into the fabric of Western society, right? Or so the narrative goes. But in places like Minnesota and beyond, a darker story has unfolded over the past few years, one involving alleged massive fraud in taxpayer-funded social services, predominantly run by Somali...
Vienna, once the heart of a vast European empire, is undergoing one of the fastest demographic shifts in Europe. Recent data highlights a profound change driven by high immigration, differing birth rates, and integration challenges. Key Verified Statistics Newborns and Citizenship: In recent years (likely 2024-2025 data), 40.5% of babies born in Vi...
In the ever-evolving battle between technological innovation and governmental oversight, the United Kingdom has once again positioned itself at the forefront of controversy. Just days into 2026, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's administration has escalated its feud with Elon Musk's social media platform X (formerly Twitter) over AI-generated images pr...
This is an era where words like "hate" are weaponised to silence dissent — where social media platforms deplatform conservatives for "hate speech," campuses ban speakers accused of promoting "hate," and public discourse polices language with ever-expanding definitions of bigotry — one glaring exception persists: socialism. Despite a historical reco...
Among other things, I've been mulling over Andrea Widburg's scathing take in her January 2026 American Thinker piece: Britain's once-mighty empire — spanning a quarter of the globe, coloured red on old maps — has withered into an "impotent, useless" shell, too radical even for moderate Muslim nations like the UAE. Widburg contrasts the moral steel ...
The UK's retreat on policing non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) in late 2025 marks a significant, if partial, victory for free speech advocates after years of controversy. But as the dust settles after December 2025 announcements from police leaders recommending the scrapping of the NCHI regime, the broader landscape suggests this "step back" could s...
Chrump, Chrump Chrump. . . . He's come to occupy the Left's minds like an infestation of weevils chawing away the ligaments of civilized society. But, of course, the whole wicked, Cluster-B, anomie-driven, insurrectionist extravaganza is a made-for-video production bought and paid for by a tiny coterie of super-wealthy megalomaniacs untouched by co...
In the quiet corridors of U.S. federal courts, a profound reckoning is unfolding for one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. As of January 2026, more than 2,100 women across the United States have filed lawsuits against Pfizer, alleging that the company's long-acting contraceptive injection, Depo-Provera, caused them to develop intracr...
I've been pondering the turbulent currents shaping modern Europe. My interest has been on Robert Jenrick's stark warnings about Britain's battle against home-grown Islamism, but urges a wider lens: the "death of Europe" itself, as articulated in Hans Vogel's provocative essay on Unz Review, and echoed in Donald Trump's recent blunt assessments. Jen...
The article by David Llewellyn-Smith in Macrobusiness.com.au (published January 12, 2026) delivers a blunt, pessimistic verdict on Australia's housing crisis: affordability has collapsed uniformly from "surf" (coastal cities like Sydney) to "turf" (regional paddocks and midsized areas). Home ownership is no longer realistic for most young Australia...
In a provocative December 31, 2025, article for American Thinker titled "Globalize the Second Amendment," author Arthur Schaper makes a bold case: Western nations should adopt America's constitutional right to keep and bear arms to restore citizen security. He argues that gun control policies have rendered governments illegitimate by disarming popu...
Dr. Naomi Wolf's provocative January 2026 tweet (quoted below), has sparked intense discussion across conservative circles, particularly after being highlighted in an American Thinker piece titled "Leftist women get, if possible, crazier, and I love Naomi Wolf's theory about why." In it, Wolf observes videos of liberal white women clashing with ICE...
Vice President JD Vance's recent comments on Fox News spotlight a massive welfare fraud scandal in Minnesota, which he describes as symptomatic of a nationwide issue. In his January 2026 interview, Vance cited statistics claiming that 85% of Somalis in the United States (legal and illegal) collect some form of welfare benefits, arguing that e...
In the wake of controversies like the recent x.AI Grok "undressing" surge on X — where users prompt AI to generate sexualised deepfakes of real people without consent — the debate over free speech versus harm has intensified. John Stuart Mill, the 19th-century philosopher whose On Liberty (1859) remains a cornerstone of liberal thought, offers a ti...
