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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Smartphones have become extensions of the human mind. They contain our photographs, private conversations, financial records, political opinions, medical information, intimate relationships, browsing history, passwords, diaries, and increasingly our entire digital identities. If police can lawfully access and download the contents of a phone, they ...
Australia and the wider West are not merely facing political or economic headwinds. They are experiencing a deeper civilisational crisis: the loss of the spiritual and moral foundations that once held their societies together. Without a recovery of those foundations, decline will continue. And the only foundation capable of restoring them is Christ...
If you wanted a preview of Europe's future, you wouldn't need a crystal ball. You would only need to look across the Mediterranean at Ceuta, a small Spanish city on the African coast that has suddenly found itself at the centre of a very large political experiment. Where tens of thousands of illegals crossing from Morocco into Spanish territory hav...
In late July 2026, during a contentious Senate hearing in which Anthony Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment, Senator Rand Paul entered a Department of Energy letter into the congressional record. The letter stated that Bill Gates held a DOE "Q" security clearance from 2014 through 2021. That single bureaucratic detail, largely unnoticed fo...
This week began with an extraordinary decision of the Federal Court to uphold a finding that Senator Pauline Hanson has breached section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 for a social media post directed to another parliamentarian, Senator Maureen Faruqi. The key thing to know about this case is this: a politician on the left, Senator Faruq...
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...
