The long list of political head-scratchers has few to rival Donald Trump's latest love-in with Pfizer. On September 30 2025, the man who once thundered against Big Pharma's "monopoly" and promised to "bring drug prices way down" signed a deal that hands the pharmaceutical giant tariff relief, pricing perks, and a $70 billion "investment" pledge. Tr...
Lurking in the shadowy annals of corporate malfeasance, few tales rival the sugar industry's century-long hijacking of fluoride science, a calculated plot to peddle a "magic bullet" for tooth decay while burying the sticky truth about sugar's dental devastation. A bombshell study published September 29, 2025, in Environmental Health by Christopher ...
Ah, Singapore, the gleaming jewel of Southeast Asia, where efficiency reigns supreme, crime is a myth, and even the buses run on time. As Toby Young's recent dispatch from the city-state vividly illustrates, it's a supposed testament to what "enlightened authoritarianism" can achieve under a visionary like Lee Kuan Yew. From swampy colonial backwat...
The boardrooms of Bud Light, Victoria's Secret, and Cracker Barrel are sweating bullets, and not because their overpriced lattes are too hot. The Blaze's scathing takedown of corporate America's woke missteps nails it: Companies that spat in conservatives' faces are now choking on their own hubris. But let's crank the tin-foil dial to 11 and seek d...
Oh, look at this shiny new article from The Conversation: "Does AI pose an existential risk? We asked 5 experts" (link below). And surprise, surprise! Three out of five say "Nah, you're overreacting." One shrugs it off as hype, another calls it a distraction from "real" problems like bias in hiring algorithms, and the third? Some tech-bro optimist ...
Leftist bounties on law enforcement officers? This isn't just unrest; it's a grotesque mutation of social order where law enforcement becomes prey in a bounty-hunting game straight out of a narco-thriller. Bounties on federal agents' heads, announced by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem on October 5, 2025, signal a Rubicon crossed: organised crime and ideo...
Hot-button frustration is bubbling up in conservative circles and on X: the perception that claiming transgender status can soften criminal consequences, almost like a "get out of jail free" card. In the case of Nicholas Roske (who now identifies as Sophie Roske), the would-be assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, his mother's plea for...
Canada's Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program, once pitched as a compassionate end-of-life option, has morphed into a grim assembly line where death fuels a burgeoning organ supply chain. The recent world's first heart transplant from a euthanised donor, a 38-year-old ALS patient lethally injected in Ontario, his heart restarted on a machine,...
Australia's higher education sector has become increasingly reliant on international tuition fees, with Indian students emerging as a prime target. In the year to July 2025, Indian enrolments hit a record 159,530, surging 31,000 above pre-pandemic levels and representing a staggering 6.6-fold increase since 2005. Of these, over 94,000 were in unive...
Victoria is hurtling toward an Indigenous treaty, and yet the irony could not be starker. Just months ago, the people of Victoria voted no on the Voice to Parliament. Democracy spoke. The message was unmistakable. And now, the political class is barrelling ahead anyway, as if that verdict were mere background noise. This is contempt in action. Not ...
Beijing's towering smokestacks and endless assembly lines, casts a shadow upon Australia who has hitched its economic wagon to the Dragon's back, exporting iron ore, coal, and natural gas like a one-trick pony at a high-stakes rodeo. As Tarric Brooker's recent Macrobusiness piece starkly warns, our dwindling manufacturing sector shields us from dir...
Leo XIV, the first American Pope (born in Chicago as Robert Francis Prevost), was supposed to bring a fresh, perhaps more conservative vibe after Francis's era. But a short time in, he's doubled down on progressive globalism, earning him labels like "woke pope" from MAGA circles and traditional Catholics who see him as politicising the faith. His O...
Britain's Green Party just unleashed a policy bomb that's straight out of a socialist fever dream: "Seek the effective abolition of private landlordism." Passed overwhelmingly at their October 2025 conference under new "eco-populist" leader Zack Polanski, the motion brands private landlords as exploitative parasites funnelling wealth from renters t...
As October 2025 chills the air across the Atlantic, a digital chill is settling over the West, one that whispers of ancient prophecies amid the hum of servers and the scan of fingerprints. Michael Snyder's latest Substack dispatch hits like a gut punch: Canada's plotting secret phone blackouts for "misinformation" peddlers, the EU's gearing up to h...
On 25 September 2025, President Donald Trump signed a document that could change the relationship between the U.S. government and its citizens permanently. In fact, it likely will impact non-U.S. citizens in countries such as Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Union (EU). Buried behind the bland title, "Countering Domestic Terr...
From the smelly lecture halls of Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's international education sector has long been a golden goose, pumping billions into the economy and filling campuses with ambitious minds from around the world. But as of 2025, that goose is looking more like a wild flock: chaotic, overburdened, and increasingly seen as a feathered b...
The persecution of Christians in Africa, particularly in sub-Saharan regions, represents one of the most severe humanitarian crises unfolding today, driven largely by Islamist extremism, ethnic conflicts, and weak governance. Nigeria stands out as the epicentre, with systematic violence that has led to tens of thousands of deaths, mass displacement...
Welcome to the first Monday in October. Know what that means? It means, by federal statute (28 U.S.C. § 2), that the Supreme Court convenes for its new term. Thank goodness, because it's pretty obvious by now that the Party of Chaos seeks to hogtie and paralyze the executive branch of the government in order to promote the chaos that the Party of C...
From Washington to Westminster to Canberra, people have had enough of elites who preach "equity" while wrecking nations. The revolt has only just begun. The US election result was a repudiation of the establishment - by which I mean progressive government, media and big tech. People don't trust the old institutions anymore, and rightly so. The land...
We built the philosophy behind this site around the idea that the eternal human failing is solipsism, or an inability to perceive the world outside of ourselves or what is convenient for ourselves, and in groups this becomes what the libertarians call "collectivism," or subsidized me-firsting. The old-fashioned term for this idea is "individualism,...
