If the Big Freeze Hits Again
We are the richest, safest, best-fed and educated generations of humans to have ever walked the planet. Too few people seem to even grasp this fact, let alone appreciate it. Nor do many really seem to grasp just how fragile the world we’ve built up through millennia of struggle
When an Online ‘Joke’ Packs a Punch
Social media, as Mike Tyson famously said, “made y’all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it”. Occasionally, though, someone learns the hard way that online disrespect can lead to offline consequences. When Spanish comedian Jaime Caravaca responded to a tweet from
What Really Goes on at the ABC
We could be forgiven for thinking that the reason the lefty elites think Western society is so irredeemably awful is that they judge the rest of us by the dire standard of their own toxic bubble. After all, “male feminist” has become a byword for abusers and creeps. The Greens
Is Sleepy Joe Too Far Gone?
As even some mainstream media outlets are reporting lately, the Democratic Party are in a “full-blown ‘freakout’” over Joe Biden’s re-election chances. There is, according to Politico, a “pervasive sense of fear” at the highest level of Dem HQ regarding Biden’s dropping poll numbers. Then there’s Biden
The Man behind the Gliders at D-Day
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.
Is the McCann Case Almost Solved?
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,
“A Comedy Sniper Just Waiting for My Chance to Go ‘Bang’.”
(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
One Step Forward, Two Goose-Steps Back
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,
Calling UNRWA Out for What They Are
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
If You Live Away, You Gotta Pay
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
Albo’s Forked Tongue Gives Him Away Again
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
Legends in Their Own Lunchtime
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
Kiwibuild? Hold My Lite Beer! Says Albo
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?
A Shining Light in South America
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
