When Equality Australia welcomed a Supreme Court judgment on puberty blockers in August 2024, it was reacting to a very specific family story. A twelve-year-old girl known only as CD had been attending the Royal Children's Hospital Gender Service in Melbourne since she was eight. Her doctors recommended puberty blockers because the physical changes...

Howard's self-image as the traditional conservative defender of "Australian values," social cohesion, and the post-war success story collides with the actual record of his government's policies. Those policies accelerated the demographic and elite transformation that Peter Wilkinson documented in The Howard Legacy: Displacement of Traditional Austr...

A bitter truth has settled over this continent: the two parties that claim to represent Australians are not opponents at all. They are joint managers of the same liquidation sale. At election time, Labor and the Coalition perform their ritual combat; carefully staged, professionally managed, utterly hollow. On every question that determines whether...

The latest diversity initiative emerging from Britain's public sector raises an uncomfortable question that goes beyond the familiar debates over multiculturalism. West Midlands Police reportedly invited non-Muslim officers and staff to participate in the Ramadan fast as an "act of solidarity" with their Muslim colleagues and the wider Muslim commu...

For decades, "core strength" has been promoted as the key to preventing back pain, improving posture and enhancing athletic performance. Yet emerging research suggests that the benefits of a strong core extend far beyond the muscles surrounding the abdomen. They may reach all the way into the brain itself, influencing memory, attention, mental clar...

Michael Snyder's piece accurately describes a repeating cycle that has played out multiple times in the current Iran confrontation: U.S. and Israeli forces are positioned or put on high alert, Trump publicly threatens major strikes, markets (especially oil) react with risk premiums, then at the last moment Trump announces a pause because "Iran aske...

In Britain, Andy Burnham's political brand has long rested on the image of the competent, compassionate local leader who "gets things done" for ordinary people. As Mayor of Greater Manchester, he positioned himself as a pragmatic voice willing to tackle tough issues like homelessness. Yet the record tells a different story, one of good intentions u...

Few researchers have dissected the technical and regulatory realities of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines with the persistence and data-driven focus of Dr. Jessica Rose. Her core argument, that these products represent a form of gene therapy rather than conventional vaccines, strikes at the heart of how we classify, regulate, and communicate about novel ...

The US Supreme Court's ruling on birthright citizenship has sent shockwaves through the American conservative movement, and for good reason. What should have been a clear opportunity to restore constitutional sanity and rein in one of the most abused loopholes in American immigration law has instead become a painful reminder of how even supposed "o...

For years, conservatives have warned that much of what passes for modern "progressivism" is simply repackaged Marxism with better marketing. The response from the Left has usually been denial, deflection, or accusations of paranoia. But lately, the mask is slipping. Prominent Democrats and their allies are becoming more brazen about their ultimate ...

For several years now, people working in funeral homes and embalming have been reporting something strange. When preparing bodies, they've been pulling out unusual, white or pale, rubbery, stringy clumps from veins and arteries. These aren't the normal dark, jelly-like blood clots you'd expect after death. They're tougher, more elastic, and look al...

The twentieth century produced many technological marvels, but none cast a darker shadow over civilisation than the atomic bomb. When Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed in August 1945, humanity entered a new age. For the first time in history, it possessed the capacity not merely to wage war, but to extinguish civilisation itself. It is hardly s...

John D. Rockefeller did not set out merely to refine oil. By the late nineteenth century he had built Standard Oil into a machine of such scale that the United States government eventually broke it apart. What followed was more consequential than the monopoly itself. Facing public hostility and the limits of pure commercial power, Rockefeller turne...

Annie Jacobsen's warning (book link below), is not science fiction. It is a scenario that Pentagon planners have war-gamed for decades, and the variables are terrifyingly simple. An airborne pathogen with a 100% case fatality rate does not need a military to deploy it. The human lung becomes the delivery system. Breathing becomes the weapon. The BS...

The US Twin Falls In-N-Out shooting on August 1, 2026, gave America yet another data point in a pattern the media and political class work tirelessly to ignore. A maniac with an AR-style rifle. A crowded restaurant. Two dead, seven wounded. And then, a good Samaritan and an off-duty state trooper drew their weapons and engaged. The police chief him...

One of the great ironies of our age may be that the generation raised entirely in the digital world is beginning to rebel against it. Reports suggest that increasing numbers of Generation Z are rediscovering physical media: vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, printed books and other tangible possessions, as an antidote to lives dominated by screens, algorith...

When Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations in 1776, he revolutionised economic thinking by arguing that the prosperity of nations ultimately rests upon productive labour, capital formation, innovation and the efficient allocation of resources. Real wealth did not consist simply of gold, silver or financial claims. It consisted of a nation's ca...

Elon Musk has doubled down on his prediction that civil war will erupt in Britain in the coming decades as the country faces a migration-fuelled "reckoning". In recent months, the SpaceX founder has frequently warned of unrest erupting in Britain as a consequence of high levels of migration of people opposed to the West. Mr Musk has described the p...

Recent films about ancient Greece such as Troy, Helen of Troy, and 300, have used actors who are of Anglo-Saxon or Celtic ancestry (e.g. Brad Pitt, Gerard Butler). Recent films about ancient Rome, such as Gladiator and HBO's series Rome, have done the same (e.g. Russell Crowe). Were the directors right, from an historical point of view? Were the an...

The next great power conflict in Asia may not begin with missiles over Taiwan or tanks rolling across the Himalayas. It may begin with the slow, deliberate tightening of a maritime noose around China's most vital artery. While the world watches the Taiwan Strait and the Line of Actual Control, India has been quietly constructing the means to threat...
