Imagine a world where the technology powering our fighter jets, electric vehicles, and wind turbines hinges on the whims of a foreign power. That's the reality the United States faces today, tethered to China's stranglehold on rare earth elements (REEs)—17 obscure metals that are the lifeblood of modern defence and industry. China controls roughly ...
George Soros and his son Alexander have long been lightning rods for conservative ire, and their network of nonprofits is now at the forefront of a legal offensive against President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. Through organisations like the Justice Action Center and Human Rights First, funded by millions from the Open Society Foundations, th...
Sir Keir Starmer, Britain's Labour Prime Minister, finds himself in a bind. Across the Atlantic, the Trump administration is dangling a tantalising trade deal—one that could shield the UK from crippling tariffs and boost its sluggish economy. But there's a catch, and it's a big one: repeal Britain's hate speech laws, which Vice President JD Vance c...
In the crisp London air of April 16, 2025, the UK Supreme Court delivered a unanimous decision that rippled across the nation, reshaping the legal landscape of sex-based rights. The case, For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers UKSC/2024/0042 was not just a legal battle but a cultural flashpoint, pitting the immutable reality of biological ...

In an age where technology intertwines with every facet of human life, a new form of conflict has emerged, one that targets not cities or soldiers but the very essence of human thought. Cognitive warfare, a term gaining traction in military and academic circles, represents a sophisticated, non-kinetic strategy to manipulate perceptions, beliefs, an...
The headlines tell us it's a drug crisis. The statistics say it's an epidemic. But what if the truth is darker than that? What if what we call the fentanyl crisis is not just a tragedy—but a strategy? Over 100,000 Americans died last year from drug overdoses—most from fentanyl. This synthetic opioid is so powerful that just two milligrams—barely th...
In the quiet corridors of biomedical innovation, a seismic shift is unfolding, one that could reshape the very fabric of human biology and autonomy. Self-amplifying RNA (saRNA) vaccines, a novel leap beyond the mRNA injections of the Covid era, are being fast-tracked by the FDA with a speed and secrecy that alarms those who value transparency and b...
Victor Davis Hanson's claim that the United States can defeat China in a trade war unfolds as a narrative of gradual, then sudden, American advantage—rooted in economic fundamentals, global alliances, and the structural weaknesses of China's mercantilist model. The rare earths issue, often cited as a potential Chinese trump card, is acknowledged bu...
The latest research out of the University of Amsterdam, published in Nature Human Behaviour, Vukašin Gligorić et al, "Political ideology and trust in scientists in the USA," Nature Human Behaviour (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41562-025-02147-z, seeks to diagnose conservative distrust in science—and, unsurprisingly, finds the patient ill and uncooperative....
In the heart of Europe, Germany stands as a beacon of prosperity, its schools bustling with children, its hospitals humming with care, its towns knitted together by efficient infrastructure. But beneath this polished surface, a crisis is brewing, one that incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz has vowed to confront head-on. As reported by the Daily Mai...
There's something oddly "romantic" about the way politicians and financiers speak of global trade—like a turbulent love affair that must be endured for the sake of the children, or in this case, the quarterly earnings. "Breaking up is hard to do," they sigh, echoing Neil Sedaka, as if the economic entanglement between the West and China were a tend...
Deep in the jungles of Guatemala, where the earth still guards secrets of ancient civilisations, archaeologists recently unearthed a haunting relic: a Teotihuacan altar in Tikal National Park, its stones stained with the memory of child sacrifice. Dating to 300–500 CE, this altar, tied to a goddess who would later inspire the blood-soaked rituals o...
Even More of a Threat to Free Speech: The “Crime and Policing Bill,” By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
A nation does not wake up one day and find its freedoms gone in a single, thunderous decree, usually. Liberty dies by increments—stealthily, bureaucratically, with paperwork rather than bayonets. In the UK, the latest such threat arrives dressed in the language of order and safety: the Crime and Policing Bill, now advancing through Parliament, whic...
The Trump administration's flirtation with acquiring Greenland, now paired with Silicon Valley's proposal to transform it into a libertarian "freedom city," reads less like policy than speculative fiction—equal parts imperial fantasy and venture-capitalist fever dream. According to recent reporting, a cluster of influential tech investors, with tie...

A conspiracy theory has been circulating in some corners of the Left, claiming that Donald Trump will declare martial law on April 20. Depending on who's telling it, the story goes that Trump is preparing a sweeping national crackdown in coordination with loyalist elements of the military, law enforcement, and red-state officials. Some versions go ...
The universities of the West, particularly in the United States and Australia, have veered far from their original purpose as bastions of open inquiry and societal good. Once revered as institutions that shaped critical thinkers and advanced human knowledge, they've morphed into corporate juggernauts, bloated with bureaucracy and flush with taxpaye...
One Australian university PhD law course, which requires students to critique their thesis based on Marxist, feminist, critical race and queer theory, has come under media attention, as reported below. Previously there was media attention to claims that law students faced the threat of failing one part of an exam if they performed an underwhelmin...
I don't think too many people really know the present state of woke and political correctness in law schools. Below is some must-read material to hopefully enlighten good folk. The situation is that law schools are full of mainly Leftist people, just like the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. This has been a trend that began in the 1970s and no...
