With the 80th anniversary this week of the D-Day invasion of Normandy, we’re once again reminded of just what a monumental undertaking it was. We’re all familiar, of course, with the images of landing craft hitting the beaches that morning, but the invasion had already begun hours before.
Every time a child disappears is an unspeakable tragedy. Unfortunately, it happens all too often. As a consequence, only some cases grab public attention – such as the 2007 disappearance of Madeleine McCann. McCann’s disappearance without a trace from a Portuguese holiday resort dominated headlines for years afterward. Even today,
(Unfortunately, the YouTube videos linked are blocked on third-party websites, but readers can click to watch them on the YouTube site.) Boomers like to brag that the 60s was a time of social change, which is true enough, but the 60s don’t hold a candle to the staggering social
As Australia, like the rest of the West, continues to slide into the dark valley of unabashed anti-Semitism, for our elites, it’s very much one step forward, two big ol’ goose-steps backward. Yesterday, the government and opposition united in condemning anti-Semitism, and especially its representatives and enablers in parliament,
What would you call an organisation that: * Has terrorists who participated in one of the worst massacres of Jews in nearly a century on its payroll; * Has been found to have extensive terrorist infrastructure on most of its properties; * Lets armed terrorists wander freely in its compounds; and, * Runs schools
The tyranny of distance is a very real thing, when you live in a place like Tasmania. Just 250km of water makes a huge difference, especially to prices. Tasmanians are well used to paying a good 10c/litre more than our nearest Mainland cousins. On the flipside, housing used to
Can Australians really believe Anthony Albanese when he occasionally and reluctantly speaks out against anti-semitism? Opposition leader Peter Dutton has been clear and unequivocal in his full-throated condemnation of the tidal wave of anti-semitism currently staining the West. Albanese, on the other hand, struggles to even mention it. Even when
Republican congressman, physician and veteran Dr Rich McCormick recently reminded Anthony Fauci he treated Covid patients during the pandemic: Fauci didn’t. Yet, McCormick said, “Despite my education and my training and my experience, my opinions were relegated to conspiracy and misinformation by so-called healthcare experts who had never treated
New Zealand may have packed off their Socialist Barbie to some globalist sinecure or other, but her dire legacy continues to play out on both sides of the Tasman. But, wait, you say — Saint Jacinda was the patron saint of Kiwiland, what does she have to do with Australian politics?
After the end of WWII and the collapse of the Third Reich, South American countries became notorious as refuges for fleeing Nazis. From Adolf Eichmann to Josef Mengele, thousands of Nazis fled along the “ratlines”. Argentina, where president Juan Peron ordered the smuggling of Nazis and Fascists, became a prime
Has Australia ever been saddled with a weaker, more useless PM than Anthony Albanese? Albo is an object lesson that, no matter how bad the incumbent is, there’s always somebody worse. Scott Morrison may have been wetter than a slug in a downpour, but it’s unlikely that he
Anthony Fauci — like Marjorie Taylor Greene, I decline to use the honorific “Dr” — is a career bureaucrat who earned a medical degree back when flared trousers and the Apollo missions were big things, who went into a government desk job right after completing his residency. Dr Rich McCormick is an
You’d think they’d learn by now. When an “anti-racism” campaigner created a “Caucasians” t-shirt to protest the Washington Redskins name and logo, white folks bought them by the truckload. When the media splashed Donald Trump’s mugshot with glee, the Trump campaign made it into t-shirts and coffee
We’ve all been there: you wake up with a lurgy and call in sick to work. But then you have to try and drag yourself off to the doctor’s for a medical certificate. Even assuming you can get in (good luck with that!), the last thing you want
When greedy, lazy governments and employers try to defend importing up to a million people a year, we’re told it’s “good for the economy”, and “necessary to fill the shortage of skilled workers”. Bullshit. The so-called “economic benefit” works out to barely a couple of hundred bucks per
If the wave of anti-Semitism was solely confined to ignorant students and ranting Muslims, that would be bad enough. That anti-Semitism has infested almost every institution in the West, from academia and media, to state bureaucracy, is horrifying. If you think I’m being alarmist, then you’re not paying
