Australia has become the first country in the world to enforce a nationwide ban on social media access for anyone under 16, and the early results are staggering. As of mid-January 2026, roughly one month after the Online Safety Amendment (Social Media Minimum Age) Act took effect on December 10, 2025, major platforms have deactivated or removed acc...
The January 16, 2026, GB News opinion piece by Alex Armstrong issues a stark warning: Western civilisation is in unmistakable decline — economically, demographically, culturally — and leaders appear paralysed, doing little to confront it, engaging in managed decline. He draws a chilling parallel to the fall of Rome, which plunged Europe into centur...
In a December 30, 2025, American Thinker piece titled "A Nation of Englishmen, Actually," author Matt O'Brien pushes back against Colin Woodard's regional "nations" theory of American identity, arguing instead that the United States remains fundamentally a nation rooted in English, or more broadly British, cultural, legal, and moral traditions. Dra...
The United Kingdom's use of citizenship deprivation powers has evolved from a targeted measure against terrorism to a broader instrument applied in cases that raise questions about transparency, due process, and the threshold for "national security" threats. The latest case, reported by the Daily Mail on January 12, 2026, involves Mark Bullen, a 45...
Birth tourism — particularly from China to the United States — has long sparked debate as an exploitation of America's birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment, which grants automatic U.S. citizenship to nearly anyone born on American soil. A recent Breitbart article (January 17, 2026), drawing from Peter Schweizer's book The Invisible Coup,...
In 1996, after Port Arthur, Australian governments ran what was called a "buyback" and what many gun owners experienced as something closer to compulsory liquidation at police-set prices. A friend in South Australia owned several legally registered semi-automatics — including an AR-15 he had paid $3,000 for. The police assessed the lot and handed h...
The drama unfolding in once Great Britain! Here we are in early 2026, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is playing the role of the stern magician, waving his regulatory wand at X (formerly Twitter) with threats of a full-on ban. The pretext? His government's outrage over Grok, generating non-consensual deepfake images, including some truly unsavou...
Whether it's BBC talking heads hissing at the mention of Jesus Christ, an army of cokeheads, or a conservative banned from the country, the UK is on its last legs. Long-time readers know that I was once a committed Anglophile and that I spent a very happy year in England as a college student. It's painful to watch a country I once respected and adm...
Ah, the sweet irony of climate alarmism — where the very folks ringing the bells about apocalyptic sea-level rise can't resist snapping up prime oceanfront real estate. It's like warning everyone about the dangers of junk food while hoarding a secret stash of donuts. Take Kamala Harris, for instance, who's just plunked down a cool $8.15 milli...
The term Affluent White Female Urban Liberals (AWFUL, often stylized as AWFL and pronounced like "awful") has gained traction in conservative circles, particularly online and in Right-leaning media. It describes a stereotype of educated, upper-middle-class or wealthy white women living in urban areas, who hold strongly progressive views on is...
A VIRUS that arose in 2019, which did not cause anything like the predicted number of deaths, which posed virtually no risk to the vast majority and for which the measures implemented to manage it were demonstrably devastating to economies, businesses and lives is still news a whole six years later. Covid-19 is history and even the weak-minded who ...
An article from Climate Change Dispatch (dated January 16, 2026) features Dr. Matthew Wielicki arguing that predicted climate-related disasters have not surged as expected. He cites the EM-DAT database (from the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters), which tracks global climate-related events like droughts, floods, storms, wildfires...
Before Covid, I would have described myself as a technological optimist. New technologies almost always arrive amid exaggerated fears. Railways were supposed to cause mental breakdowns, bicycles were thought to make women infertile or insane, and early electricity was blamed for everything from moral decay to physical collapse. Over time, the...
In 1977, before university, I took a gap year and did what earnest young men of a certain temperament once did: I sat in libraries reading Beckett, Ionesco, Camus, Sartre — existentialism, absurdism, the literature of metaphysical despair. Life, I learned, is meaningless. God is silent. The universe is indifferent. Waiting is futile. Dialogue...
Yuval Noah Harari recently went viral for announcing, with the solemnity of a priest pronouncing last rites, that human life has "absolutely no meaning." From the "purely scientific viewpoint," he assures us, humans are the products of blind evolutionary processes, the universe doesn't care about us, and any meaning we experience is therefore...
Recent data from surveys and polls across multiple countries shows a widening ideological divide between young men and women (typically aged 18-29, often referred to as Gen Z). Young women have increasingly identified as liberal or Left-leaning over the past decade, while young men have remained relatively stable in their views — often centri...
In the chaotic aftermath of the Bondi terror attack, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's government scrambled to push through the Combating Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2025 — a sprawling piece of legislation bundling tougher hate speech rules (lowering the bar from inciting violence to promoting hatred, focused on racial vilification) with ...
As an Aussie gun owner who's spent years in the bush hunting roos and pigs, and on the range honing my skills with mates, I'm furious about the Labor government's latest push to strip us of our rights. Following the tragic Bondi terror attack in 2025, Labor's rushing through the so-called "Combating Anti-Semitism, Hate, and Extremism Bill 2026." Bu...
There is something refreshingly honest about a government that simply admits what it is doing. Instead of cloaking things in the language of "community safety", "social cohesion", or "harm prevention," it could just hold a press conference and say: "We are banning every organisation that opposes our agenda, and there is nothing you can do about it!...
Ah, the Declaration of Independence — America's fiery breakup letter to King George III, penned in 1776 with quills dipped in the ink of Enlightenment ideals. At its core lies this gem: "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends [life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness], it is the Right of the People to alter or to aboli...
