Ah, Italy, the eternal siren call of sun-kissed vineyards, gelato that whispers sweet nothings, and architecture that makes you question why you live in a shoebox apartment in Londonistan. You've got your Eurail pass, your phrasebook ("Dove è il bagno?"), and dreams of twirling spaghetti carbonara under the Tuscan moon. But hold onto your panettone...
There is a rising sense, on at least our side, that the world, and, specifically, the United Kingdom, is in a state of crisis, collapse or incipient civil war. What should be done? We have significant figures who argue for various things that should be done. The things are more important than the people who advocate them. But it is hard to hold ont...
Europe, once the cradle of industrial might and social innovation, now teeters on the edge of fiscal collapse. At the forefront stands Germany, the continent's once economic powerhouse, whose cities are buckling under deficits exceeding €30 billion in 2025 alone. This crisis is not a fleeting storm of inflation or recession; it's the engineered out...
We live in a world where the United Nations can muster the moral outrage to declare habitat destruction a "crime against biodiversity" worthy of global sanctions, it's downright baffling — nay, infuriating — that the systematic dismemberment of human foetuses gets a pass as "reproductive rights." Enter President Donald Trump and his administration,...
Remember the aurora frenzy of May 2024? Those electric greens and purples draping the skies from Arizona to Alabama weren't just Instagram gold, they were the velvet glove over an iron fist of solar wrath. While TikTokers cooed over the "Mother's Day magic," the Gannon superstorm (named for solar physicist Jennifer Gannon, who passed days before it...
Whether you love Pauline Hanson, hate her, or simply enjoy a cheeky cartoon, one thing should be obvious: a democracy that cannot tolerate satire is a democracy in trouble. The decision to ban the screening of A Super Progressive Movie inside Parliament House is not simply an administrative call. It is an unmistakable cultural signal. It tells Aust...
In yet another brazen display of political censorship, a trailer for Senator Pauline Hanson's upcoming animated film, A Super Progressive Movie (based on her wildly popular Please Explain cartoon series), was pulled from a scheduled screening in Parliament House just hours before its debut. The screening, scheduled to take place tonight, was intend...
Nested in the grand theatre of modern authoritarianism, few acts are as slick as the one scripted by Alphabet, Google's shadowy overlord. On the surface, it's the benevolent search giant, serving up answers to life's riddles. Dig deeper, and you find a data-devouring hydra with tentacles wrapped around Big Pharma, squeezing out billions while throt...
Picture this: A bleary-eyed bloke, pockets stuffed with wads of cash, staggers through a neon-lit alley in the dead of night. He's flashing his wallet like it's a badge of honour, slurring invitations to anyone who'll listen. The locals, sharp-eyed opportunists who've seen this show before, eye him up, then close in. By morning, he's broke, bruised...
Where headlines scream "12 years to save the planet" and politicians jet to COP conferences to pledge trillions in reparations for cow farts, it's refreshing when a genuine heavyweight steps into the ring and calls bs. Enter Richard Lindzen, MIT's Professor Emeritus of Meteorology and one of the last unfiltered voices in atmospheric science. In a n...
This week, President Trump's uncanny political instincts resulted in a near-unanimous congressional resolution forcing his administration, against its collective will, to release the Epstein files. Thirty-six hours before his impending loss, Trump announced on social media: "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files." One imagines ...
Noah Carl just dropped the most politically incorrect truth bomb of 2025: elites are biologically bulletproof. Strip them of their castles (Norman Conquest surnames still over-represented at Oxbridge in 1890). Confiscate their land and businesses (Chinese "landlords" in 1953 reduced to poorer-than-average peasants). Send them to the Gulag to break ...
In the once land of the free, where apple pie and scepticism are national pastimes, a fresh poll drops like a truth bomb: 80% of likely U.S. voters now view the federal government as corrupt. That's not a fringe opinion from the tinfoil-hat crowd, it's from Rasmussen Reports, a national survey of 1,000-ish adults conducted via phone and online on N...
Where cancer diagnoses continue to climb, projected to surge by 47% globally by 2040, according to the World Health Organization, it's refreshing to spotlight solutions that don't come from billion-dollar pharmaceutical pipelines. Enter the realm of natural compounds: plant-derived molecules that have been quietly amassing evidence of their anti-ca...
Swirling in the whirlwind of 2025's tech tidal wave, where AI isn't just coding your playlist but rewriting the code of reality, President Trump's latest executive order hits like a thunderclap. Signed on November 24, just days ago, the "Genesis Mission" is billed as America's Apollo 2.0 for artificial intelligence: a sweeping federal push to fuse ...
Picture this: You're not dodging bullets in a dystopian flick like The Matrix, but your own government, or a rogue state, could soon beam signals into your skull, scrambling your thoughts, erasing memories, or puppeteering your decisions. Sounds like tinfoil-hat territory? Think again. Just this week (November 22, 2025), UK researchers Michael Crow...
As the dust settles on the Coalition's belated decision to scrap Australia's 2050 net-zero target, Peter Smith's scathing op-ed in Quadrant, titled "Crazies versus Ditherers," nails the absurdity of our climate crusade. Published on November 23, 2025, Smith eviscerates the hubris of thinking humans can micromanage the planet's thermostat while expo...
Australia's immigration system, designed to foster family reunification and skilled migration, has long been a beacon for those seeking a new life Down Under. However, beneath this noble intent lies a shadowy underbelly of fraud, particularly within the partner visa program (subclasses 820/801 onshore and 309/100 offshore). Sham marriages, arranged...
For two years now, any teenager with an internet connection can spin up a 25-page "study" complete with the stats, such as p-values, confidence intervals, Kaplan-Meier curves, and 87 citations that "proves" eating waffles causes baldness or that fake meat triggers autism. The footnotes look impeccable. The journal name is forged perfectly. Most rea...
For decades, the automotive safety world quietly committed a slow-motion act of misogyny: it pretended women were just short men with a rubber jacket glued to their chests. The standard "female" crash-test dummy was nothing more than a 4'11," 108-pound version of the 5'9," 172-pound male Hybrid III, scaled down like a child's toy. It was rarely pla...
