According to an Adoption UK survey of 3,500 families asking about their motivations for adopting, only 58 per cent said they did so because they were unable to have biological children; which is to say that a surprising number appear to be opting for adoption ahead of, or instead of, having a birth child. The […]
The young man in the photo above looks harmless enough, doesn’t he? And yet, this week, more Fine Gael politicians have said that he should resign his position than ever said the same for their colleague, Maria Bailey, after she was caught apparently trying to perpetrate an insurance scam. He is Killian Foley-Walsh, the President […]
In sum, the comical effort to destroy President Trump was a bad replay of the cultural cluelessness of a haughty Hillary Clinton in the last days of the 2016 campaign—the Ivy League prima donna, ensuring her “landslide” to come by futilely campaigning in Georgia and Arizona, fueled by the “analytics” of her whiz kids, while the orange, combed over, and uncouth Trump at her rear played the fox in her blue-wall henhouse.
Following a Marriage Foundation report based on ONS statistics showing that ‘only half of the teenagers today will get married in the future, compared to 90 percent of people now in their 60s’ – which prompted ‘gasps and headshakes’ – Zoe Strimpel, writing in the Sunday Telegraph, says that ‘[r]einvention, novelty and options are the […]
The world seems to be irreconcilably divided into two diametrically opposed realms of feeling and fear. These worlds do not talk to each other, they talk at each other. There is the realm of those who feel The Shame And Peril Of Living In A No-Abortion State and those who in equal measure feel The Shame And Peril […]
Well done, Minister Harris. The public have been crying out, after all, for free condoms in third level colleges, and finally, he has delivered. Never say he’s not stuck into his briefs. You can sleep easy in your bed this autumn, safe in the knowledge that your beloved first born is well-equipped for the sexual […]
You might say, paraphrasing Dickens, it is the best of times and it is the worst of times. Freedom of expression, the freedom to speak your mind and let your voice be heard is one of the great goods in the firmament of good things available to the human race. We have never had greater potential […]
There is careless and sloppy journalism and there is cold calculated malicious journalism. Sadly both fit into the spectrum to which Janet Malcolm notoriously drew attention in a New Yorker essay thirty years ago when she wrote: ”Every journalist who is not too stupid or too full of himself to notice what is going on knows that what […]
Will there be a major recession? John Aidan Byrne, a Business and Finance columnist at the New York Post, thinks so.
The Independent Tribunal into Forced Organ Harvesting from Prisoners of Conscience in China has accused the British Government of ignoring the horrific practice of organ harvesting in China, in which “enemies of the state” have “their bodies cut open – some while still alive – for their kidneys, livers, hearts, lungs, cornea and skin to […]
McGuirk on Simon Harris: “There’s a fundamental question about your competence, I think, when you have devoted a year of your life in the ministry for health to rolling out an abortion service, and can’t do it. I mean, he’s failed…” Gary Kavanagh and John McGuirk rate the performance of Government ministers, giving Simon Harris […]
Big corporates and social policies are making it impossible for families to raise their own children – and we need to fight back against that. Tucker Carlson makes a powerful observation at the National Conservatism conference – and he points out that most people, including the voters that the Republican party need to win over, […]
