Inching Toward the Big Guy

The wheels of justice in Washington, as I’ve said before, grind exceedingly slow: witness the decade-plus, glacial progress of the Mark Steyn–Michael Mann trial. The machinery of justice grinds even slower when you’ve got a virtual one-party state with its hands on all the levers, from Democrat-appointed

Have the Courage of Your Convictions

Former Australian PM Tony Abbott has a new book coming out, and it’s certain to send the chattering classes into a screaming fit of triggernometry. With a working title of Peak Insanity, Abbott promises to tackle “The climate cult, the gender fluidity push, magic pudding economics, the cultural self-loathing

Truth Will Out

Over the weekend two columns highlighted Grant Robertson’s appalling track record as history sets about judging him as the worst Finance Minister to have ever graced the Treasury benches. Truth will out. First up was Matthew Hooton: Yesterday’s shock 0.3 per cent decline in GDP in just

How Soon Before We Pay for the Luxury of Cash?

I recently leased a PO box for business purposes. It turns out to have been an unintentionally prescient move: Australia Post has mooted plans to cut residential delivery from daily to every two days. We’ve come a long way from the ‘primitive’ 19th century, when mail was delivered twice

The Science of Crazy Cat Ladies

The Science of Crazy Cat Ladies

So, is the ‘Crazy Cat Lady’ stereotype based in fact after all? A new review of the scientific literature suggests that it is. Which comes first, though, the cats or the crazy, is not so clear. A new review suggests that having a cat as a pet could potentially double

Now They’re Coming for Europe

Now They’re Coming for Europe

As I wrote, regarding the craven joint statement by Anthony Albanese, Chris Luxon and Justin Trudeau, it’s notable that not one of them has ever called for a ceasefire in Ukraine — yet Israel is supposed to just lie back and take it from the bloodthirsty savages of Hamas. The

Zey Have Veys of Making You Electrify

Remember when it was a crazy conspiracy theory that they were going to take your gas cooking and heating away? Oh, yes, you can guess where this is heading. California is already banning gas appliances. Australia’s wokest state, Victoria, is banning them in new constructions. Now, they’re coming

This Is Where Your Aid Money Goes

Of late, whenever I bother with Facebook, my feed is spammed with so-called “charities”, purporting to fundraise “for Palestine”. I’d as soon have donated money for poor, suffering Nazis being bombed in WWII. Worse, some of these “charities” I know for a fact have been implicated in channeling money

Biden Boldly Goes Where Albo Only Grovels

It’s a fine state of affairs when even the doddering, demented Biden administration is far tougher on the Chinese communist regime than the Anthony Albanese government in Australia. It almost makes one yearn for halcyon days of the Scott Morrison government. Say what you will about Scotty from Marketing:
