Black American scholar Wilfred Reilly repeatedly points out the yawning gap between the “narrative” — what Americans believe about America — and the reality. Most of the divide is due entirely to wildly inaccurate media representation. For instance, surveys show that Americans believe that about 25% of Americans are homosexual. The real
The list of failed climate predictions is nearly 130 years old, and just keeps growing by the day. From the New York Times’ 1895 claim that Geologists Think the World May Be Frozen Up Again, to the Royal Meteorological Society’s 1938 claim that global warming “is likely to prove
In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Henry Jones Sr. (Sean Connery) remarks: “I misjudged you, Walter. I knew you would sell your mother for an Etruscan vase. But I didn’t know you would sell out your country and your soul to the slime of humanity.” We might say
Has one of Australia’s leading children’s hospitals been illicitly funneling medicines and medical equipment to a terrorist organisation? That’s the question which must be asked, after the shocking revelation of a secret Hamas wish-list circulating at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne. A confidential document
Time and again, we are finger-wagged that “They are Us”. That Muslims are just like any other immigrant group, all itching to assimilate into mainstream Western culture. Just like Irish and Italians but with funny beards and veils. Such sunny optimism, though, is only sustainable if you pay no
The most important thing conservatives and centrists consistently fail to understand about the left is that they never take no for an answer, and they are never satisfied. Say “No” to the left, and they always respond with tantrums, foot-stamping, and toy-throwing. Like spoiled toddlers, they know that
Of all countries, Germany ought to know better than most just how important freedom of speech is, and how dangerous government spying and censorship regimes really are. After all, it wasn’t so long ago that half the country was under the iron rod of the Stasi surveillance state. It’
By way of antidote, perhaps, to the recent spate of Jeremiads railing against Jacinda Ardern in the pages of The Australian, both that publication and fellow Aussie conservative masthead, Quadrant, have published equal-and-opposite hagiographies of Luxon and Co. They might furnish BFD readers with a scoffing chuckle or
There may be more faddish creatures than teenage girls, but if there are, marketers are yet to find them. Teenagers, as David Cole has written, are “tiny-brained, feebleminded followers who rarely think things through and have not yet grasped notions like “consequences.” Throw a little mental illness, or a
As I reported recently, the real costs of “Net Zero” are rapidly coming to bite Australians in the arse. For all Boofhead Bowen’s deluded gibbering that wind and solar are the cheapest forms of electricity generation, the proof is in the power bills. They’re soaring. The government which
As the harsh reality of “Net Zero” bites harder — and will sink its fangs even more, as winter advances — the deeper and deeper the denial grows from the idiots pushing it. Boofhead Bowen continues to insist that wind and solar are the cheapest form of electricity generation, despite clear evidence
Half a year has passed since Labor were tossed out of office, and just over a year since Jacinda Ardern scuttled off to whatever cushy globalist sinecure awaits Klaus Schwab’s minions, denying New Zealand voters the chance to pass their own judgement. Which perhaps explains the appearance of, not
As I’ve repeatedly warned BFD readers, always assume that a so-called “fact-checker” is trying to mislead you. But, if it’s bad enough that professional, often taxpayer-funded, liars in cahoots with the mainstream media are bullshitting you, it’s far worse when a statutory body is
It’s not easy, being a Muslim in New Zealand. One minute, you’re the poster-boy for “They Are Us”, the next… well, we’ll get to that. First, the fawning “Co-Exist”, rainbows’n’unicorns stuff. Reza Abdul-Jabbar walks with one foot on the farm and one
People who know me would scarcely credit it, but I really do bite my tongue a lot. No matter how hard it is to do. I mean, I think I really deserve a pat on the back for, when a Guardian-reading acquaintance was pontificating recently about how they source
You wouldn’t let Bernie Madoff teach your kids about business ethics. You wouldn’t let Gary Glitter teach them about personal safety. So, why would you let the mainstream media teach them about “the harms of online misinformation and disinformation”? Bryce Corbett […] formerly a journalist for 60 Minutes, the
