On the 18th of March this year a German court convicted two former London-based investment bankers for their involvement in a criminal tax fraud that has “left treasuries across Europe tens of billions of euros out of pocket.” Then in June, the same Court published an anonymised 299-page version of its decision in which it […]
The University of Chicago English Department has announced that it “is accepting only applicants interested in working in and with Black Studies” – meaning that students who wish to study english there will also have to take a course that many say draws its inspiration from the Black Lives Matter movement that includes the dismantling of the […]
“Climate dries the [wood] fuels out & extends the fire season but its not the cause of the intensity of the fires. The cause of that is fire suppression and the existing debt of wood fuel.” — Malcolm North, US Forest Service A red sky glowers over California as fires rage out of control. Recent […]
The death at 87 of United States Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has added another dimension to the final weeks of the Presidential election in that country. The liberal media’s pot stirring over possible legal challenges if the vote does not go their way has begun. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has already said […]
Every so often, a headline catches me off guard. Like this one, from the Catholic News Agency earlier this month: “Only 18 babies with Down syndrome born in Denmark in 2019.” This isn’t at all shocking. I’ve written about the ongoing destruction of children with Down syndrome by abortion for years. Many pro-life activists have been shouting themselves […]
On the one hand, good. There’s not much point keeping a law on the books that’s been transparently flouted by most EU countries for years: EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday that proposed new migration reforms would replace the so-called “Dublin Regulation”, which governs which member state handles a new arrival’s asylum […]
Recently I addressed a group of Parliamentarians in London about assisted suicide and euthanasia. My talk, which coincided with World Suicide Prevention day, sought to address the unintended consequences of legalising assisted suicide and euthanasia in the Netherlands. One of the arguments we hear is that assisted dying will bring down the number of violent […]
Broadly amusing, mainly because of how the American left spends so much of its time, in normal times, accusing people who oppose it of being anti-vaxxers. How times change: “With deaths from the coronavirus nearing 200,000 in the United States, Joseph R. Biden Jr. on Wednesday assailed President Trump for playing politics with a potential […]
Large corporations are exerting more and more political pressure and control over their employees’ basic human freedoms in attempts at virtue-signalling. Yet, their own business interests may display blatant hypocrisy. Woke capitalism, like the #MeToo movement before it, is in self-destruct mode. You may recall that last year, Disney threatened to boycott Georgia if the state […]
Perhaps it’s time to start seeing the increase in cases as part of the journey towards herd immunity and finally overcoming a very difficult year.
The US Democrats’ presidential election campaign is a fine balancing act of managing a double ticket. Joe Biden is undeniably not in control of his campaign. Kamala Harris and her backers are the organ grinders. Behind them stand the forces of radical feminism, wokeism and leftist, liberal agencies like Planned Parenthood. These forces are challenged […]
In November 2018, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the People’s Daily, listed one hundred party members who have contributed to China’s national development in the past 40 years. This list included Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba’s e-commerce kingdom, who has made significant contributions to the Chinese economy. […]
