Here is a maths problem with rushing out in response to a tragedy like Bondi Beach, as the Australian prime minister has done, to call for new ways to make it even harder for the general public to acquire and carry firearms with which to defend themselves. The average mass-shooting incident lasts about twelve minutes, with people dying from minute ...
In January 2025, a New York jury delivered what may prove to be a pivotal moment in medical negligence law as applied to youth gender medicine. A 22-year-old woman who detransitioned after undergoing a double mastectomy as a minor was awarded US$2 million in damages against her former psychologist and surgeon. While the verdict does not outlaw "gen...
This is an age where "change" is hailed as an unqualified good and "progress" is the rallying cry of every reformer with a plan, it's worth pausing to consider the quiet wisdom of conservatism. Not the cartoonish version peddled by critics — stodgy resistance to all novelty — but the philosophical bedrock that underpins it: a profound recognition o...
The recent revelations from a Queensland University of Technology (QUT)-led study, published in The BMJ in early 2026, expose a staggering crisis in scientific publishing: an AI-powered screening tool has flagged over 261,000 (approximately 250,000+ in rounded reports) cancer research papers—nearly 10% of the 2.6 million analysed from 1999 to 2024 ...
The recent controversy surrounding the Federal Judicial Center's (FJC) fourth edition of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence highlights a troubling pattern of institutional bias creeping into the judiciary on the issue of climate change. Released earlier in 2026 with a foreword by Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, this roughly 1,600-...
Recently, Hillary Clinton resurfaced in The Atlantic with a sweeping, moralising essay accusing parts of the conservative movement — including Christian commentators and pastors — of waging a "war on empathy" and undermining core Christian values like mercy and compassion. In particular, she took aim at voices such as Allie Beth Stuckey and others ...
On January 27, 2026, South Australia endured a brutal heatwave — including the hottest night on record for Adelaide — and the electricity grid felt the heat too. What unfolded offers a sobering snapshot of a system already flirting with its limits: when demand peaks and renewable contributions wane, traditional power sources still hold all the card...
The recent spate of shark attacks in Australia — especially the tragic cluster in Sydney in January 2026 — has everyone rattled, and for good reason. A 12-year-old boy, Nico Antic, attacked by a suspected bull shark while jumping off rocks at Nielsen Park near Vaucluse on January 18, fought for days before passing away on January 24. That same 48-h...
China's top diplomat in Australia, the ever-provocative Xiao Qian, has issued a stark warning to Australia that action would be taken if the Port of Darwin 99-year lease was cancelled by the Australian government. The Port of Darwin's location is of high strategic value and has been controlled by China's Landbridge Group for the past 11 years. A si...
Oh, the sweet symphony of chaos! As President Trump (yes, again) unleashes his master plan to transform 23 hulking warehouses across the nation into mega-detention centres for ICE's latest haul of border-jumpers, the streets are erupting like a bad case of liberal indigestion. Los Angeles? Dumpster barricades and bottle-tossing tantrums. Portland? ...
Ah, the latest chapter in Britain's grand experiment titled "Democracy: No Qualifications Required." Picture this: Birmingham — that throbbing multicultural heartland where curry houses outnumber complaints about the weather — is heading into local elections. And striding into the fray like a phoenix who hasn't quite shaken the soot from his feathe...
Since the time of Socrates, observers have noted a peculiar correlation: the deeper the thought, the more unfortunate the face. While the ancient Athenians attributed Socrates' appearance to divine punishment or an excess of philosophical humours, modern scholarship has finally uncovered the true mechanisms behind this phenomenon. The Beauty-Brain ...
For most of the twentieth century, Christianity was told it had a science problem. Evolution, neuroscience, cosmology — all supposedly pointed in the same direction: matter is fundamental, mind is accidental, meaning is imaginary, God is unnecessary. Religion might survive as poetry or therapy, but not as truth. But something strange has happened i...
The most dangerous censorship regimes rarely arrive wearing jackboots. They come bearing safeguarding frameworks, compliance dashboards, and well-meaning phrases like online harms mitigation. Britain's Online Safety Act is precisely this kind of weaponised niceness — a sprawling regulatory apparatus that now claims jurisdiction not merely over Brit...
"The ICE derangement syndrome is off the charts because we are amidst a pandemic of progressive leftist mental illness, which is an extremely disproportionately female problem." —JD Haltigan on "X" It has come into focus now and you no longer need to be perplexed, mystified, bewildered, or bamboozled by events unspooling ...
Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's Director of National Intelligence (DNI), released docs that allegedly "prove" Barack Obama masterminded the Russiagate "hoax" as a coup against Trump. Gabbard's presser claims it's all there: Obama and his crew fabricating intel to kneecap Trump's 2016 win. But does it really "prove" anything? And if it does, what happens nex...
The GLP-1 receptor agonists — Ozempic (semaglutide), Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound (tirzepatide), and relatives — have exploded in popularity for type 2 diabetes and obesity management. They deliver impressive results: 15–20%+ body weight loss for many users, plus cardiovascular benefits. But rapid adoption has brought serious scrutiny, including mult...
With YouTube lighting up over the past week or so (late January 2026) with titles screaming "war with Iran imminent in days," "US armada closing in," and predictions of strikes "within hours" or "before Nowruz," it's no surprise folks are on edge. Channels are buzzing about Trump's "massive armada" (led by the USS Abraham Lincoln) now in the Persia...
We British conservatives grapple with a profound moral crisis; the latest figures from England and Wales should alarm every Christian conservative. Kara Kennedy's January 30, 2026, piece in The Free Press lays bare a devastating reality: abortions in England and Wales have reached their highest level since the 1967 Abortion Act legalised the proced...
A Spectator article, "Don Lemon's arrest will rally the #Resistance" from spectator.com, is spot on for the drama unfolding. I'll outline who Don Lemon is, the charges, and whether this is firing up the American left to the point of penning angry letters to the White House... or worse, sparking riots. US politics often feels like a bad episode of N...
