As food banks across the United States report record demand, and people queue before dawn just to secure a few bags of groceries, the crisis surrounding food stamp payments has revealed something profoundly broken in the American political order. What began as another round of partisan brinkmanship during a government shutdown has now crossed into ...
Artificial intelligence is making headlines for mastering chess, art, and medical diagnosis. Now, studies suggest it may be beating human doctors at something we long considered uniquely human: empathy. A recent review in the British Medical Bulletin analysed 15 studies comparing AI-written responses with those from healthcare professionals. Resear...
The first time I heard the phrase "peak woke," it was 2022, and a podcaster with a million subscribers declared it dead. "The pendulum has swung," he said, voice dripping with triumph. "DEI is being dismantled. Pronouns are optional. The adults are back in charge." I remember nodding along, half-convinced. Disney had quietly shelved its "Reimagine ...
In October 2025, a study in Veterinary Research Forum quietly dropped a bombshell. Vietnamese scientists announced that they had engineered new hybrid strains of the H5N1 bird flu virus, "recombinant chimeras" blending genes from avian and human influenza. Using reverse-genetics tools originally developed in the United States, they boosted the viru...
Parked in the misty parking lot of Surrey's Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, on June 18, 2023, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a plumber by trade, a Khalistan advocate by conviction, climbed into his truck after prayers. Masked gunmen, hooded and hooded in shadows, fired 50 rounds. Nijjar slumped dead, windows shattered, his sons rushing to the scene in vain. It wa...
Imagine clocking into a lab where the air hums with the promise of medical miracles, genetically engineered viruses designed to rewrite genomes, cure diseases, or model pandemics. Now imagine that same lab treating safety protocols like suggestions, not safeguards. That's the world Becky McClain stepped into at Pfizer's Biosafety Level 2 facility i...
On a crisp November morning in 2025, as Britain geared up for Remembrance Sunday, a 100-year-old man in a white beret sat before the cameras of Good Morning Britain. Alec Penstone, Royal Navy veteran of Arctic Convoys and D-Day minesweeper, wasn't there to trade platitudes. He wasn't wheeled out for a feel-good clip about heroism's glow. No, Alec h...
Gunshots echoed across the misty fields of Edgewood, British Columbia, on November 6, 2025. It wasn't a hunt or a celebration, it was the execution of nearly 400 ostriches, healthy survivors of a H5N1 avian flu outbreak almost a year old. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), backed by RCMP in hazmat suits, turned a research farm into a slaug...
When I was in a crowded convention hall in Tallahassee Florida, amid foetal models and policy whitepapers, I met a couple from Kerala India, who weren't there to debate theory. They were there to save girls, one ultrasound, one pregnancy, one life at a time. Their crisis pregnancy centre wasn't funded by governments or celebrated in headlines. It w...
In the quiet corners of New Zealand's hospitals, a heartbreaking pattern has emerged since 2020: approximately one baby every month survives an attempted abortion, only to be denied the life-sustaining care that any other newborn would receive. This isn't speculation or exaggeration, it's drawn from official government data released under the Offic...

You don't hear people say, "I believe in penicillin" or "I trust in antibiotics like gospel." But vaccines? Oh, many people believe in them. With fervour. With ritual. With a zeal that borders on the sacred. "Vaccines save lives," they chant, as if reciting a creed. Dissenters? Heretics. Sceptics? Blasphemers. And the high priests, CDC mandarins, p...
Imagine a system so noble in intent, universal human rights, the Enlightenment's gift to a brutal world, that it now demands a secular democracy import polygamy, shield paedophiles from deportation, and treat asylum as an all-you-can-eat buffet for global grievances. Welcome to 2025, where the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Strasbourg is...
Lurking in a world where mice are lecturing cats on veganism and hares are volunteering as fox appetisers, Cicero's De Officiis reads like a quaint relic from a less enlightened age. "The highest law is the safety and well-being of the people," he'd thunder, but today? Western whites, those perennial overachievers of guilt, have flipped the script....
Alzheimer's disease: we've poured over US $50 billion into research since the '70s (with the NIH alone dropping $3.9 billion in 2024), turning it into a $360 billion annual black hole for the U.S. economy. Yet, for all that cash, we've got... squat. No cure, no reversal, just a parade of pricey pills that barely budge symptoms while turning brains ...
Picture this: It's 2025, and while Elon Musk is plotting Mars colonies and trillion-dollar robot armies, two taxpayer-funded behemoths, the BBC in Blighty and the ABC Down Under, are still churning out what feels like 1970s agitprop, dressed up as "impartial" journalism. Allister Heath's blistering Telegraph takedown on November 5 nailed it: "The a...
Oh, the sweet sound of shareholder chants echoing through Tesla's Austin factory: "Elon! Elon!" On November 6, 2025, they did it – over 75% of Tesla investors rubber-stamped a pay package that could catapult Elon Musk from billionaire (he's already at a comfy $473 billion) to the world's first trillionaire. No salary, mind you – just a potential ha...
Ah, the eternal dance between man and machine, except now Ray Kurzweil's cranking up the tempo, swapping his old 2040 nanobot waltz for a 2030 brain-cloud hookup that'll make your neural net blush. In a recent MIT lecture that had the auditorium buzzing like a hive of hornets, the futurist extraordinaire doubled down on his transhumanist fever drea...
Dwelling in the hallowed halls of the University of Michigan, where the scent of aged books mingles with the hum of cutting-edge research, a scandal has erupted that's got everyone buzzing, not just about biosecurity, but about the sheer excitement international scholars inject into our campuses. Picture this: packages slipping through customs, fil...
Inspired by a recent piece from Leith van Onselen over at Macrobusiness.com.au, let's unpack why this setup is less "land of opportunity" and more "land of missed opportunities." We're talking about a policy that's supposed to bring in top talent but ends up importing underemployment, low wages, and a side of economic drag. Let's kick off with the ...
