Our housing policy is a mess from left and right. Time to put people first again. Housing is a central issue for any society. Ensuring that people have somewhere to live, and that where they live is of tolerable standards, is fundamental to any viable community. How to provide it is one of the most […]
After a clearly disturbed young man shot up a number of Asian massage parlours in Atlanta, Georgia, killing 8 people, the mainstream media line was that he was a white supremacist responding to former President Trump’s inflammatory language about the Covid virus. That was an attractive spin for the innumerable race hustlers in the main […]
In what amounts to an extraordinary display of boastful arrogance, Time magazine last week published a long piece revealing how the Democrats beat Trump. To ensure Biden’s victory, the magazine explained that – and this is a real quote – “there was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes”, one that built an alliance which “got […]
In December 2015, then Republican candidate Donald Trump stood on stage at a rally and read from a prepared statement. Before he had even finished reading it, the main point of the speech made headlines all over the world. It read ‘Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering […]
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 […]
For years the left has prided itself on being on the side of inclusion and equality for everyone, and has attacked the right for engaging in racism, xenophobia and bigotry for bringing attention to issues such as immigration and national identity and pursuing policies that put their own citizens first. Yet there is one type […]
Advice from a business consultant about how to keep PC from taking root in corporate culture. This week the Goodyear Tire Company had a bad day. An employee at its Topeka factory leaked a photo of a diversity and inclusion slide which listed both acceptable clothing expressions — “Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Lesbian, Gay, […]
A funny thing just happened in Portland. One of the crazy ideas of the stunningly dishonest leftists just caught on. The “Wall of Moms” looks to be a winner because it repurposes the instinctive protectiveness of our species towards children, and turns it into a political weapon. Paedophrasty (a term coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb) […]
The left, far and near, are still vexed over last Saturday’s protest outside Leinster House. ‘Anti Fascist Action’s’ Facebook page is like what you might find when a soccer hooligan firm loses face after fleeing ignominiously from some “tasty geezers.” They refer to someone at the rally as wearing the “cheapest wig in the shop,” and […]
Perhaps it is an age thing but one of the most irritating, vacuous songs considered to be a rock classic must surely be Imagine written by John Lennon with the assistance of the deeply weird Yoko Ono. It will be 50 years old next year. Lennon was a key part of the then contemporary zeitgeist […]
Nick Timothy, citing the left-wing failure to address the decades-long scandal of Asian grooming gangs, their attempts to silence free speech on university campuses and also the attacks upon Labour leadership candidate Rebecca Long-Bailey for her moral rejection of abortion up to birth for the disabled – even though her views have not affected her […]
Several stories in recent weeks have brought a new focus on what equality activists call ‘covert racism’. The opposite of overt racism. Meghan Markle was certainly subjected to overt, racial slurs on social media but according to some of her defenders it was the covert racism from mainline media and broadcasting that made life impossible […]
