Amid the extraordinary week that has been, the history books have not yet been written as to which way this presidential election will go, a precarious situation which may persist for months to come. Not all is uncertain, though, it being clear (and perhaps trite) to say the outcome from this presidential election matters. The… Continue reading Why the presidential election matters
Further to my critique in July, it is proper to refute some of the key contentions which sustain free trade ideology. These arguments–and their flaws–could be considered as follows. Free trade means better prices for consumers Free trade with poorer countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America is desirable, we are advised, because it reduces… Continue reading Free trade revisited
I wanted to draw out the thrust of my last post ‘The Sham of Democracy’, in which elections were criticised as being “largely meaningless.” While this remains accurate, a more complete picture requires some nuance to be added. Elections are largely meaningless, but this is different from them being completely meaningless. Because it is the… Continue reading Caveating Criticism of Democracy
Alternative Hypothesis recently produced two brilliant videos concerning the true nature of democracy. In them, he demonstrates that democracies are less likely to enact the will of the people than dictatorships. The full videos can be found here and here; I obviously exhort my readers to watch them. In addition to the video’s substance, three… Continue reading The Sham of Democracy
Isn’t it revealing that those who exhort warnings about “saving democracy,” are eager to remove President Trump from office, through less than democratic means? Against all odds: the pressures of Wall Street, Hollywood, the media, the political establishment and demographic trajectories; President Trump rose to power through the democratic system. Despite this authentically populist, grassroots… Continue reading The Limits of Democracy
Many Left-leaning critics claim President Trump has ’emboldened’ the Alt Right. While this may be true, the Trump Presidency has certainly emboldened a more radical, dangerous Alt Left. Whether observed in Madonna threatening to blow up the White House, Maxine Walters inciting mobs to intimidate Trump officials, Kathy Griffin holding up a mask to resemble… Continue reading Responding To 18 Months of Unhinged Leftist Hatred
In recent times, the ABC has descended into an intolerant, anti- Australian, biased organisation devoted to spreading Leftist views, despite legislation and a civic duty requiring otherwise. Because of these harmful trends, the ABC’s funding of $1 000 000 000 per annum ought to be eliminated, to inflict irreversible institutional damage extending beyond the current… Continue reading The ABC’s Trump Derangement Syndrome unveiled
Recent days have seen a renewed wave of media propagandising on US illegal immigration, in a similar manner to late 2015 inferences, which linked the flow of Muslim refugees to an upcoming holocaust-styled genocide (which unsurprisingly, never came to fruition). But as the altruistic West is tormented with emotional blackmail to not ‘separate families’, we… Continue reading The truth about ‘separating families’
Scoffing at the concept of an America First President, President Obama once publicly ridiculed then candidate Trump in asking: ‘What magic wand do you have?’ Since then President Obama and his legacy has been turfed out, in place of a new nationalist order which places American workers and economic concerns first. In fairness to the… Continue reading Economic nationalism works
The Trump administration recently announced it was ending the 16 year long temporary protected status (TPS), provided to some 200 000 El Salvadoran migrants. Evidently, this stance fits the ‘America First’ theme President Trump was elected on, given a reduction in low skilled immigrants will ultimately increase wages for working class Americans. And with America… Continue reading An America First approach to TPS
America’s quarter century role in Iraq can truly be described as a ‘forever war’. As throughout this period, perceived threats stemming from Iraq were met with overwhelming military force, costing 4500 American lives, $7.9 trillion dollars, and untold damage to US soft power. But perhaps even worse than these extraordinary sacrifices, is that Iraq has… Continue reading America’s forever war
In attempting to uphold campaign ideals, President Trump declared before the United Nations his desire to place ‘America First’. However, he also threatened Venezuela, Syria, Cuba, Iran and most notably, North Korea along the way. Distinguishing audacious rhetoric from actual policy on the ground, is often difficult and unclear. But what remains clear, is that… Continue reading America First, or a new interventionism?
The Trump base’ ongoing loyalty hinges on immigration. As such, no person is better placed to comment on any proposed Trump amnesty plan, than the queen of American nationalism herself, Ann Coulter. By Ann Coulter, September 13, 2017: Donald Trump is being told that amnesty for “Dreamers,” or DACA recipients, will only apply to a… Continue reading NO AMNESTY IS A GOOD AMNESTY
After President Trump announced his new strategy for Afghanistan, we saw yet another reversal from the campaign promises once made, via imminent troop increases to this godforsaken land. Some may criticize this shift as unfaithful, whereas some may laud it as demonstrating necessary flexibility. But the pertinent, unanswered questions remain: will it work, stabilize Afghanistan, and… Continue reading President’s Trump’s new strategy for Afghanistan
Speaking to reporters at a New Jersey golf course, President Trump promised to unleash ‘fire and fury like the world has never seen’ on North Korea, should it continue to threaten the United States. And yet, the North Korean response spoke volumes as to the extraordinary improvidence of Trump’s remarks. Almost hours later, the regime… Continue reading President Trump’s brash escalation with North Korea
