In what the Wall Street Journal's editorial page dubbed "the speech of the year," Secretary of State Marco Rubio laid out that President Trump's vision for America and the world is closely tied to the ideals of ancient Greece, which brought forth the great civilisation of the West. It was extraordinary in its depth and projection. Imagine a D...

The American abortion controversy has entered a particularly difficult philosophical territory, where the language of individual autonomy encounters the biological reality of a developing human being who may already be capable of surviving outside the womb. A recent LifeNews article by Raimundo Rojas warns that the struggle over abortion will conti...

Lionel Shriver's Spectator piece treats Britain as the warning and Texas as the next case. The UK's net-zero boast, that a country under 1 percent of global emissions must set an example, has failed on carbon and succeeded as a caution. In American conservative circles, she writes, Britain is now the film of what happens when Muslim immigration is ...

One of the more revealing features of the climate change debate is the tendency to move effortlessly from complex scientific findings to remarkably simple political conclusions. The climate system is influenced by numerous interacting processes, including greenhouse gases, atmospheric aerosols, clouds, ocean circulation, water vapour and natural va...

Science is supposed to be humanity's most reliable method of distinguishing fact from fiction, particularly when human lives depend upon the answers. Cancer research is among the most important examples. Billions of dollars are invested in discovering treatments, identifying the mechanisms of disease and developing drugs that might save patients fr...

 Michael de Percy's Spectator Australia piece, linked below, argues that Australian schools no longer educate boys. They disarm them. The adult version of the same reflex is a system that treats a man's physical competence as suspect on sight. He starts from the numbers. In March 2026 Education Minister Jason Clare opened an inquiry into the b...

 The third anniversary of the Hamas attacks of 7 October 2023 has revived an uncomfortable question about immigration, multiculturalism and the capacity of Western societies to maintain social cohesion. Writing in The Spectator Australia, Rowan Dean argues that Australia has failed to appreciate the extent to which deeply entrenched ideologica...

The oddities noted by Dr Malone in his essay, link below are real. They do not, by themselves, establish a cover-up or an engineered pathogen, yet, but more evidence could show this. But, they do leave a gap that Russia has chosen not to close. What is solid across Malone's piece and the wire reporting is narrower than the online conspiracy theorie...

Donald Trump has found another way of putting money directly into Americans' pockets, and this time the beneficiaries are millions of senior citizens. Beginning on 8 October 2026, more than 20 million eligible Medicare recipients are receiving one-off payments of $90, intended to offset part of their medical insurance costs. Trump announced the pay...

One of the most interesting voices in Australia's great immigration and multiculturalism debates of the 1980s has almost disappeared from public memory. Professor L. J. M. Cooray did not fit the script. He could not conveniently be dismissed as an Anglo-Australian nostalgic fearful of foreigners, because Cooray himself had been born in Sri Lanka an...

"Multiculturalism" is a convenient catchword borrowed from Canadian politics to represent a vague set of ideas which purportedly promotes the cultural and economic interests of certain non-Anglomorph sections of the Australian community. If proponents of multiculturalism are asked to describe the concept it is likely that there will be as many desc...

A Rasmussen and Our Republic survey of 1,026 likely voters, taken on 20 September 2026, found that 21 percent of voters overall have a mostly or somewhat positive view of sharia, against 57 percent negative. Among voters aged 18 to 24 the positive share is 43 percent. Among those aged 25 to 29 it is 39 percent. That is the "four in ten." A second q...

For years, major Western corporations have behaved as though their primary business was not selling products but instructing the public in the latest progressive political orthodoxies. Advertising campaigns became vehicles for ideological messaging, corporate executives adopted the language of social activism, and customers were increasingly expect...

Virginia State University is being sued for putting Christian student groups under a university minister while leaving the Muslim Students Association alone. The core of that claim is in the complaint. A court has not yet decided it. On 24 September 2026, Alliance Defending Freedom filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virgin...

One of the most fascinating discoveries in modern neuroscience is that the brain possesses an elaborate system for disposing of metabolic waste, a process that may be particularly important in protecting against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. We have long understood that the brain consumes enormous quantities of energy and consequ...

Victoria has spent years being told that the crime was a perception. The arsons were a regulatory problem. The home invasions were complex. The empty police stations were a workforce challenge. One Nation's Victorian policy, released ahead of the November election, is the first document in this campaign that treats the pattern as a single failure a...

One of the great ironies of modern nutritional thinking is that we have spent decades worrying about the supposed dangers of particular foods while paying insufficient attention to the essential nutrients those same foods provide. Eggs, red meat, liver and other animal products became objects of suspicion during the long campaign against dietary ch...

Ronald Kostoff's essay in Trial Site News starts from a plain observation. Between 2020 and about 2023, governments in the United States closed or restricted businesses, schools, churches, courts, workplaces, travel, ordinary medical care, public meetings and private gatherings. They imposed masking, distancing, quarantine, testing and vaccination ...

The peril is not that Gen Z is unemployable. It is that they are entering hired labour at the moment when the old bargain has already been cancelled, and a large share of them have not noticed. The surveys that keep circulating are manager surveys, which is both their use and their limit. ResumeBuilder found that about three-quarters of managers sa...

Australians of a certain age will remember Clayton's, the non-alcoholic drink marketed with the memorable advertising slogan, "The drink you have when you're not having a drink." It became part of Australian popular culture, with the word "Clayton's" entering everyday language to describe something that was supposedly one thing but was, in reality,...
