When President Donald Trump threatened to abandon NATO if delinquent European states didn’t pull their socks up and start paying their fair share of the collective defence pact, the panic was palpable. European nations like France and Germany have been free-riding on America’s dime for decades. Confident that
“Never again,” they said 75 years ago, after Germany attempted to erase the Jews of Europe from existence. If only they’d meant it. But the Holocaust didn’t erupt from nowhere: it was the culmination of a long process. Although anti-Semitism had long stalked Europe, the cosmopolitan fin de
The mainstreaming of anti-Semitism among the political left around the world often seems as perplexing as it is shocking. After all, it’s the left who’ve made a fetish out of supposed “anti-racism”. Jews in the US lean heavily to the left of politics (Jews in Britain are less
As I’ve already written, the left’s “golden trio” – Jacinda Ardern, Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau – are sinking deeper into the electoral doo-doo. Despite endless media fluffing, voters are becoming increasingly aware of the yawning void between spin and reality. France has been wracked by a popular revolt, while
If Nigel Farage took to the podium to extol the virtues of the British empire and exhort African and Asian nations to willingly re-submit to the imperialist yoke, the left-media elite would erupt in a frenzy of denunciation. Indeed, when academic Bruce Gilley published a double-blind peer-reviewed paper, arguing that
It’s difficult not to notice that green protesters almost always protest developments that are nowhere near where they live. Greens in Australia are the most urbanised people in the world, concentrated in wealthy innermost Melbourne and Sydney. The developments they oppose are almost always in rural and remote regions,
When Tucker Carlson dared to question the dogma that “diversity is a strength”, the left exploded in fury. Masked vigilantes besieged Carlson’s family – when they knew he was on-air and away from home – screaming their usual nonsense about “racism”, blah blah blah. Except that Carlson was right to question
“Every joke is a tiny revolution,” said George Orwell. Because jokes upset the established order. Whatever “brings down the mighty from their seats, preferably with a bump, is funny”. Which is why “comedy” today is so mind-numbingly un-funny. Contemporary “comedians” are not bringing down the high-and-mighty, they are the high-and-mighty.
Patriot Realm Trump has been all over China since at least 2018 and gave a warning to them to pull their head in or risk consequences. Well, they didn’t pull their head in and they are about to face the consequences of their arrogance. He offered every opportunity to
Imagine if, in 2013, government buildings across Australia and New Zealand were decorated with swastika flags to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of Nazi Germany. Yet, a precisely analogous festival of supine arse-kissing for a murderous dictatorship has been unfolding all week. It matters not that Nazi Germany
Glenn explains EVERYTHING you need to know about the Ukraine scandal. And it goes MUCH further than Hunter and Joe Biden, and their involvement there. This timeline gives you all the facts and proof you need to show that there was DNC collusion, not collusion with President Trump, during the
On Saturday, I joined the latest protest for Hong Kong in Melbourne. I took the opportunity to speak to mainlanders about their government, and I posed a simple question to both sides; “is the Chinese communist government good or evil?”. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to
Seventy-five years ago authoritarian bullies determined to ‘unite’ Europe under the banners of collectivism and identity politics were, thankfully, defeated. The cost was horrendous, but so were the stakes. When the forces of tyranny were defeated, “Never again” was the watch-cry. Except… 20 years ago, genocide again reared its ugly
Longtime Steyn readers will be familiar with the demographic thesis of his 2006 international bestseller America Alone: The End of the World as We Know It. Almost the entire developed world is mired in deathbed demography from which no functioning society has ever recovered. Mark’s book was a big
Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the Chinese flag being flown at the Box Hill police station is simply “the madness of multiculturalism on full and toxic display.” If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
