On the 30 July 2026, Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta experienced what local officials, police unions, and residents described as absolute chaos. Estimates put the number who crossed from Morocco in a short period at roughly 40,000 to 60,000 people, equivalent to 50–70 percent of the city's usual population of around 80,000. The overwhelming ...

Anti-feminism, properly understood, is not a rejection of women's dignity, legal equality, or the end of unjust barriers. It is a refusal to treat modern institutional feminism as an unquestionable moral authority when its claims collide with evidence, logic, and observable reality. Janice Fiamengo's recent essay on the Canadian Standing Committee ...

Octavian (later the Emperor Augustus) was offended when Mark Antony cheated on his sister (Octavia the Younger) with Cleopatra. However, he also knew that the embarrassing affair that became the talk of the town in Rome served his ultimate design to get rid of Mark Antony. Had Antony shown real contrition, left Cleopatra, and returned to Rome to pa...

There comes a point when satire throws up its hands in surrender. The late comedian Tom Lehrer famously retired because, in his words, political reality had become impossible to parody. Modern public life increasingly produces stories that sound less like journalism than rejected Monty Python sketches. The latest controversy surrounding Cambridge s...

The history of the transatlantic slave trade refuses to settle into a single, agreed-upon narrative. Each generation of scholars returns to the archive and finds something the last generation missed, and the argument over who profited, who suffered, and who held the reins of the trade continues without resolution. David Eltis and Stanley Engerman h...

In the world of exhibition shooting and competitive fast draw, few names carry the weight of Bob Munden. Born Robert William Munden Jr. on February 8, 1942, in Kansas City, Missouri, he became known as the "Fastest Man with a Gun Who Ever Lived": a title once bestowed by the Guinness Book of World Records. He died on December 10, 2012, at age 70 of...

"Forever chemicals," the nickname for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS, have earned their name for a reason. These synthetic compounds resist breaking down in the environment and in the human body. Used for decades in non-stick cookware, food packaging, waterproof clothing, stain-resistant fabrics, firefighting foams and some personal-c...

Longstanding concerns about Iran's dual-use biotechnology sector and possible offensive biological research have surfaced again in recent commentary. One widely circulated piece asks a pointed question: if reports from more than two decades ago already pointed to Iranian interest in weaponising highly dangerous pathogens, including smallpox, how fa...

6G is being presented not simply as the next step in faster mobile internet but as a qualitative shift that would blanket populations in higher-frequency electromagnetic radiation while embedding powerful new sensing and interface capabilities into the everyday environment. According to the analysis, the technology will move beyond the millimetre-w...

Giorgia Meloni has drawn a clear line. After footage emerged of thousands of mostly young African men pouring across the Moroccan border into Spain's North African enclave of Ceuta, the Italian prime minister announced that her government is prepared to suspend Schengen arrangements with Spain if necessary. The images were stark: crowds swimming ar...

The rise of democratic socialism in the United States and across parts of the wider world is not a minor political fashion. It represents a serious challenge to the foundations of free societies: private property, limited government, individual responsibility, and the spontaneous order of markets that have lifted billions out of poverty. What begin...

In a recent PBS interview promoting her documentary No Country for Mothers, feminist filmmaker and activist Reshma Saujani declared that the film was "the match that we needed to, quite frankly, burn it all down and finally build a country for mothers." The language is familiar. "Burn it all down." "Revolution." "Tear it up and start over." It is t...

Most of us were taught a simple story at school. Millions of years ago, vast quantities of microscopic marine organisms died, settled on the ocean floor, became buried beneath sediments, and under immense heat and pressure were gradually transformed into oil and natural gas. Petroleum, according to this conventional view, is literally a fossil fuel...

Britain's electricity system came uncomfortably close to collapse on 23 June 2026. During a heatwave, wind generation was overestimated, demand ran higher than expected, and the National Energy System Operator (NESO) was forced into emergency measures. Leaked internal documents later confirmed that system constraints were breached and security comp...

Some people leave behind a fortune. Others leave behind inventions, companies or books. John David McAfee left behind something far rarer: a legend. Whether admired or condemned, he lived with an intensity that few people could imagine and fewer still would dare attempt. His life was one long act of rebellion against governments, corporations, conf...

Cyberwarfare has one characteristic that distinguishes it from conventional military conflict: the attack may be invisible, but the consequences are very real. A missile leaves a crater. A successful cyberattack may leave nothing more dramatic than silent pumps, disabled treatment plants, empty supermarket shelves, or contaminated water. Modern civ...

For decades, Western politics has largely been understood through the familiar language of Left and Right. Elections revolved around taxation, welfare, immigration, regulation, abortion, identity politics, or climate change. Political tribes formed around these issues, and most voters could predict where their allies and opponents would stand. Yet ...

One of the more remarkable political developments in recent American politics is not that Donald Trump continues to face criticism from the political Left, but that some of his fiercest critics now come from within the populist movement that once regarded him as its champion. Alex Jones, for years one of Trump's most vocal supporters, has now publi...

Jordan Peterson's recent Telegraph essay, "Climate change catastrophism is a Leftist weapon to destroy capitalism," arrives at a familiar moment: another summer of heat, another round of moral panic, and another push to treat ordinary modern life, air conditioning, cars, heating, diet, as a species of original sin requiring ever-tighter state overs...

"Diversity is our strength" functions less as a tested claim than as a conversation-stopper. It is repeated with the confidence of a scientific law, yet the large body of empirical research on ethnic and cultural heterogeneity points in the opposite direction. Celina101's recent essay, linked below, gathers the evidence with clarity: the more ethni...
