The battle in the US Congress over transgenderism and minor children could potentially sink the Biden Administration’s first major piece of legislation, the so-called “Equality Act”. Uniting both women’s rights activists and conservatives, the fight also demonstrates the degree to which the administration’s commitment to the most extreme parts of the progressive agenda, such as late-term abortion and transgenderism, can […]
I don’t often get an email from a colleague in Scotland asking how I’m weathering the power cuts in Texas. But I did last Friday, after the worst was over. For much of last week, millions of Texans had to endure the loss of electric power, and all that entails, during some of the coldest […]
In February of last year, The Babylon Bee published a satire story titled, “California Bill Prohibits Stores From Selling Toys That Don’t Actively Confuse Children’s Sexuality.” The Bee noted: “The law will ensure no more anti-science ‘boy aisles’ or ‘girl aisles’ like the ones used in deplorable states. Now shoppers can search the entire store before finding the gender nonconforming toy […]
Are humans as smart as crows? Once the BBC poses a question like that, you already know the answer. In a new series, Chris Packham’s Animal Einsteins, the naturalist investigates “how nature’s masterminds measure up against human brainpower”.

Nigeria has a problem. A big problem. For many years now, a radical Islamist insurgency has roiled its northeast. Boko Haram (literally “books are forbidden”), a terrorist group affiliated with ISIS, and several other actors in its mould, have brutalised the residents of these regions, particularly Christians, taking many lives and displacing millions. The defeat […]
Last month, it was reported that Bill Gates, the billionaire businessman and activist on climate issues, had been buying farmland in the United States to the extent that he now owns the biggest amount of farm acres in America. Gates, who is one of the richest people in the world, has quietly bought up 242,000 acres of […]
If this works out, then I’m looking forward to sending a personal bill to London for my share of the reparations owed for the famine, and other offences caused over the past 800 odd years. A west brit I may be, but I have my eye on getting a PlayStation five, and if reparations are […]
Facebook through their subsidiary, Instagram, may have made a major strategic blunder in pursuing their policy of being the ‘truth czars’ of world thought, says top civil rights lawyer, Robert Barnes. Instagram recently de-platformed Robert F Kennedy Jr, but then went to the point of releasing a press statement explaining why they deplatformed him. The […]
When respected scientific experts sitting on prestigious governmental advisory committees warned citizens early last year that the only way to protect themselves against Covid-19 was to shut down their businesses and stay at home until public health officials deemed it safe to come out again, most complied, even at great personal and economic cost.

‘It’s not the end of the world… It’s only three hours on the plane’ I remember myself telling my parents when I started thinking of moving to Ireland. I have always wanted to live here, ever since I was seven years old and heard for the first time Sinead O’Connor singing on the LP my […]
