What Really Happened to Captain Smith?

What Really Happened to Captain Smith?

It may have won a swag of Academy Awards, though why is beyond me, but James Cameron’s Titanic is not exactly noted for its historical accuracy. From Picasso paintings that most definitely weren’t on the Titanic, to flashlights and filtered cigarettes, there were a whole bunch of anachronisms.

Is Diversity Really Our Strength?

Is Diversity Really Our Strength?

As I’ve written before, so many conventional wisdoms are built on foundations of quicksand. From the firmly held belief in “Settler Colonialism” in the New World to the endlessly asserted claims of low immigrant crime, so much that we’re furiously finger-wagged is “fact”, is anything but.

A Modest Proposal to Solve Wokeism

A Modest Proposal to Solve Wokeism

Did the Victorians have the right idea? Was the Suffragette movement genuinely a threat to good social order? Was it all a gigantic mistake, letting women vote? Because, if we’re looking for where to blame the dominance of wokeism, we only have to go as far the ladies’ room.

What Iran Didn’t Win

What Iran Didn’t Win

As I wrote recently, Iran’s barrage of drones and missiles launched against Israel was a battlefield failure, but in many ways a propaganda victory. But, on the flipside of the ledger, there were more than a few ominous strategic outcomes for Iran. First off, the only casualty of Iran’

Japan Is Going to the Moon

The space race was as much about geopolitics as it was about science, adventure, or the spirit of man, or whatever palaver Kennedy was prone to speechifyin’. The simple fact was the Soviet Union had humiliated its Cold War rival by launching the first satellite, then the first human into

A Game of Defence Peas and Shells

A Game of Defence Peas and Shells

Sometimes the Australia-New Zealand rivalry just goes too far. It’s one thing to bitch and moan for decades about bowling a grubber, but trying to outdo each other in having the lamest defence policy is quite another. New Zealand cut its air force back to a bloke with a

How Did We Come To This?

How Did We Come To This?

In recent years, the followers of one religion marched through the streets of Sydney on multiple occasions, demanding, variously, to “Behead those who insult the Prophet”, and to “Gas the Jews!” The leader of another religion responded to being stabbed in the face, mid-sermon, by praying for his attacker. Can

How’d the Last Lefty Love Affair with Islam Work Out?

How’d the Last Lefty Love Affair with Islam Work Out?

As I wrote recently, even the dim bulbs of the woke left are aware that shilling for the most regressive, misogynist, homophobic religious ideology in the world is an obvious and staggering hypocrisy. So, what do most of them do? What the left always do when they’re caught out:

‘EVS Are a Bit Shite’, #35

Does anyone remember 3D TV? The next wave of home entertainment, superseding plasma screens and OLED TVs, and all that old junk. Then, it just disappeared from showrooms faster than a laserdisc copy of Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The hype around 3D TV coincided with a similar fad for

This Circus Is Far from Over

As I wrote, at the start of the week, the circus that keeps on giving the media an endless feed of scandal is going to keep on giving for a while yet. And you can just bet that, despite the excoriating judgement on media conduct by Justice Michael Lee, the

Australians Have Just Had Enough

Australians Have Just Had Enough

Is there any bar so low that Anthony Albanese can’t limbo right under it? He really is the most contemptible excuse for a Prime Minister I’ve seen in my life — and in my half-century or so, I’ve seen some doozies. We’ve seen the venal and the

Citizens Are Doing It for Themselves

Citizens Are Doing It for Themselves

When an Assyrian Orthodox congregation in Sydney rioted after the stabbing attack on their bishop by a Muslim, there was much tutting and finger-wagging from police and politicians. But should they have really been surprised? They might want to consider that people are only going to put up with so

Hookers and Cruises on the Taxpayer Dollar

As I wrote recently, the all-consuming black hole of taxpayer-funding, the NDIS, is funding some of Australia’s worst rapists and paedophiles to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Some, like unrepentant serial sex offender Wayne Wilmot, north of a million dollars. Because he has a “mild

New Fauci Emails Raise More Questions

Remember when suspecting that Covid was engineered in a lab and accidentally leaked meant that you were a conspiracy theory cultist? Mind you the same people calling you a “cultist” were doing stuff like this: As it happens, their beloved Dr Fauci is accused of being neck-deep in the alleged

Knives Out Again in Sydney

Knives Out Again in Sydney

What’s going on in Sydney, all of a sudden? Two stabbing attacks in just days, and a riot to boot? The first attack, in a Bondi shopping mall, seems, despite early speculation, to not have been a terror attack, but a “de-institutionalised” nutter with a hate-boner for women. The

Where Are the ‘Anti-war’ Left, Now?

According to the millions of leftists marching weekly for “Palestine”, it’s not that they hate Jews, they’re just anti-war. Above all, they piously witter, they’re concerned for the children. Which is odd, because, when it comes to a brutal war which is causing untold misery and death
