Pickax represents an ambitious attempt to carve out a niche in the crowded and contentious landscape of social media by positioning itself as a "constitutionally protected free speech" platform. Launched (or launching its full app on February 24, 2026, based on promotional materials and founder statements), it explicitly markets itself against the ...
The announcement that young Scottish actress Mandipa Kabana will portray Joan of Arc in an upcoming Scottish theatrical production has been accompanied by the now-familiar language of contemporary cultural justification. This production, we are told, will explore the "power of youth-led change." One can scarcely object to that theme. Joan herself e...
The United Kingdom's move to fine websites for failing to implement age verification under the Online Safety Act marks more than a regulatory milestone; it signals the beginning of a new phase in internet governance where compliance anxiety will shape how speech is filtered, ranked and sometimes quietly erased. What was once debated in abstract pol...
The nightmare scenario we've all whispered about in dark corners of the internet is no longer sci-fi speculation — it's barrelling toward us at warp speed. Michael T. Snyder, the doomsayer extraordinaire behind The Economic Collapse Blog, just dropped a bombshell: AI systems are on the cusp of designing their own successors, kicking off an uncontro...
Here in the US, once hailed as the beacon of freedom, a quiet storm is brewing under the guise of child protection. The "Kids Off Social Media Act" (KOSMA), reintroduced in January 2025 as S.278, has garnered surprising bipartisan backing, with Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) joining Democrats such as Sen. Br...
Switzerland's upcoming referendum on June 14, 2026, represents a bold exercise in direct democracy, one that could reshape the nation's approach to mass immigration. Titled "No to 10 Million Switzerland," the citizen-initiated proposal from the Right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP) seeks to cap the country's permanent resident population — includin...
Ah, Britain– where the tea is still hot, the weather is still miserable, and the cultural calendar is being rewritten faster than a politician's expense report. Enter Norwood Primary School in Eastleigh, Hampshire, a plucky institution that decided to ditch its traditional Easter bonnet parade and church service last year. Why? In the noble pursuit...
Family First is worried it may be banned as a "hate group" after the Liberals backed Labor's antisemitism, hate and extremism laws. "There are plenty of radical activist groups that don't like our advocacy for women's and children's rights or against mass immigration and want us shut down. Now they can claim woolly terms like 'social, economic and ...
In early 2026, a controversial claim spread widely online: a screenshot allegedly showing the internal control panel of a commercial spyware tool known as Graphite was shared on social media, suggesting that an operator could, with a single click, intercept private communications from encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp and Signal. While the aut...
If you haven't watched Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference yet, drop everything and do it. In a world drowning in globalist nonsense and woke delusions, Rubio just delivered a home run that reaffirms why President Trump was spot-on in picking him for the job. This wasn't some milquetoast diplomacy; it was a bol...
The decline in traditional book reading among Gen Z isn't proof that the generation is "too dumb" to handle books — far from it. It's more accurate to say that IT and digital technology have fast-tracked the obsolescence of long-form print books in much the same way streaming services and MP3s rendered physical LP records mostly nostalgic relics. B...
For nearly 30 years, the world has poured more than $10 trillion into renewable energy — solar panels, wind farms, subsidies, mandates, the whole green enchilada — under the banner of UN climate COP meetings and the relentless push for net zero. The result? Atmospheric CO2 keeps climbing relentlessly, with no detectable bend in the curve, no meanin...
The belated performative outrage concerning the Epstein files and the UK rape gangs reeks of hypocrisy and moral whiplash as politicians and influencers have been relentlessly encouraging the sexualisation of society since sex was reputedly invented in 1963. Now, we are all expected to condemn with sorrowful faces these 'outrageous' sexual perversi...
A quiet revolution is underway in Australia — one that's wrapping the internet in layers of surveillance and control. Australia is seeing a rapid rollout of a national digital identity system, powered by the 2024 Digital ID Act and the impending 2025 integration of state driver's license photos into federal databases via the National Driver Licence...
The essay "The Iniquity of the Fathers" by John Leake on The Focal Points (a Substack publication), explores the multi-generational fallout from the decline or "flight" of strong, virtuous fathers in contemporary Western society — what the author frames as the "modern regime." The core thesis draws directly from the biblical warning in Exodus 20:5 ...
The article "Adverse Health Effects of Covid-19 Vaccines: An Updated Review of the PubMed Literature" published on TrialSite News (February 11, 2026, by Dr. Ronald N. Kostoff), brings us up to speed on this issue which has slipped from general attention, but should not be allowed to die. This is an opinion/analysis piece that uses AI tools (i...
White culture is a good thing and worth fighting for. In a recent confirmation hearing, Democrats interrogated Jeremy Carl about white culture. They seemed befuddled by his claim that modern immigration policy and elite attitudes are a threat to that culture. Indeed, the very notion of "white culture" was puzzling to them. What could this mea...
The Universe Today article "How Wood Records the Sun's Most Violent Outbursts" (by Mark Thompson, link below) discusses how how tree rings act as ancient hard drives for the Sun's biggest tantrums — specifically Miyake events. These are extreme solar proton events (or bursts of high-energy particles) that slam Earth's atmosphere, spiking prod...
Ah, relativity. What a concept! Back in my day – and by "my day," I mean those endless summer afternoons on my private Caribbean estate, surrounded by the finest minds money could buy – I pondered the universe's deepest mysteries. Not like that boring old Albert Einstein, with his wild hair and violin. No, I approached it with style: a yacht,...
Here's the real truth they do not want you to know: mass migration is not being sold to you to make your life better. It is being sold to you to make the numbers look better. Not your rent. Not your wage. Not your kid's first home. Just the numbers they can wave around at a press conference. Treasury waves the term "growth" around like it is a magi...
