As Europe has been plunged into war by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, former US Secretary of State John Kerry has urged Vladimir Putin to “stay on track” in the fight against climate change. The interview took place on BBC Arabic on Monday of this week. “I’m concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine […]
If there’s one thing that the West’s mainstream media is certain of, it’s this: that Donald Trump is a puppet of Vladimir Putin, and a stooge for the Russian government. This is a talking point which has been repeated ad infinitum, not only by the media, but by celebrities, and even Trump’s political opponents to […]
A US speech therapist has claimed that her clinic has seen a “364% increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers” due to mass mask-wearing. Jaclyn Theek, who runs a speech therapy clinic in Florida, told WPBF News (affiliated with ABC News) that before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, only 5% of her clinic’s […]
For the last decade or so, those warning of civilizational collapse have been accused of being alarmist. I recently reviewed Rod Dreher’s latest book, Live Not By Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents, and noted that many still believe that a “silent majority” of Americans are opposed to the radicalism of the Left—that eventually, progressives will […]
In today’s episode of The Van Maren Show, I speak with Dr. Charles Murray about why America has fallen apart and what we need to do about it. Dr. Murray first became well known in 1984 with the publication of Losing Ground, a piece which is credited with being the intellectual foundation for the Welfare […]
A good, old-fashioned, spy thriller this morning, courtesy of – where else – the United States, where outspoken progressive Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell stands accused of getting, well, rather too close, to an attractive Chinese intelligence asset: California congressman Eric Swalwell has refused to say whether he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese honeytrap […]
Fifty years ago, on September 26 1970 to be exact, a huge fire destroyed over 100,000 acres of woodland in northern California, destroying a property known as the Spahn Movie Ranch: “As the ranch hands tried to save the horses, the Manson girls, their faces illuminated by the light of the conflagration, danced and clapped […]
The Democratic and Republican conventions presented two vastly different perceptions of America, with such little overlap, or agreement on basic narrative points, that each side seems to be past the point of acknowledging a basic validity in the other. The Republicans pinned the violence of the past 90 days on the mayors of the Democrat-run […]
The longer the rioting and looting goes on in America the more irrational and random it becomes. Not only are the icons celebrated by the ultra-left and CNN clearly not the sort of characters that anyone with pretensions to a “better world” would want to be seen next nor near – regardless of how they […]
It would seem that some of those involved in last weekend’s protest opposing American racism would rather like to transform this “movement” comprising the rag tag and bobtail of the ultra-left into one focusing on alleged racism in Ireland. Since the protest – which has now been found to have breached social distancing regulations even though […]
