Why the presidential election matters

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

Caveating Criticism of Democracy

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

Are Walls Immoral?

“The fact is a wall is an immorality. It’s not who we are as a nation.” Said Nancy Pelosi, the newly elected speaker of the US House of Representatives, regarding President Trump’s renewed efforts to fund a wall on America’s Southern border. Putting aside Pelosi’s vested electoral interests in wilfully sabotaging President Trump’s agenda, and… Continue reading Are Walls Immoral?

The Normalisation of Pedophilia

What might have been considered a preposterous prediction in earlier years—the normalisation of pedophilia through the LGBT+ agenda—is increasingly becoming a reality.  At this post’s close, are links to 3 articles which reflect the push to desensitising public attitudes towards pedophilia. But for now consider the last dramatic social shift—gay marriage—and its connection to the… Continue reading The Normalisation of Pedophilia

How Democracy is Losing the World

By Patrick J. Buchanan, December 11, 2018: If Donald Trump told Michael Cohen to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels about a one-night stand a decade ago, that, says Jerome Nadler, incoming chair of House Judiciary, would be an “impeachable offense.” This tells you what social media, cable TV and the great herd of talking… Continue reading How Democracy is Losing the World

The Untenable Demands Placed Upon Men

Among thousands concluded since the 19th century’s close, last week was perhaps feminism’s most destructive one yet. In the midst of Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process, hysterical feminists have commanded males accept 2 new purported gospel truths. First, if a man at any point in his history, whether a teenager or otherwise; has groped women inappropriately women… Continue reading The Untenable Demands Placed Upon Men

The Limits 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

Responding To 18 Months of Unhinged Leftist Hatred

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

Trump’s Working Class, Conservative, Populist Realignment

American Conservative, by Robert Merry, July 24, 2018: Bonnie Smith is a 63-year-old bakery entrepreneur in Jefferson, Ohio, in Ashtabula County. She begins her day in the bakery at 2:30 a.m., making doughnuts, then moving on to breads and pies “or whatever I have going out.” Married with three grown children, she started her business… Continue reading Trump’s Working Class, Conservative, Populist Realignment

The ABC’s Trump Derangement Syndrome unveiled

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

The truth about ‘separating families’

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’

Pat Buchanan’s defence of protectionism

While written a few weeks ago, Pat Buchanan’s response to President Trump’s tariffs are equally relevant to US trade policy, and the topic of protectionism more broadly. While I recommend reading the entire piece, Buchanan’s primary arguments can be summarised as: “Production comes before consumption. Who consumes the apples is less important than who owns… Continue reading Pat Buchanan’s defence of protectionism

Free Trade/ Foreign Investment

There is no such thing as free trade

In the eyes of many free trade advocates, retreats to protectionism are common precursors to inter- state conflict. While this narrative is problematic when considering the strong correlation between anti- militiary interventionists and anti- free traders, it should also be understood that protectionist measures can be a means of exerting diplomatic pressure, to avoid military conflict. Evidently,… Continue reading There is no such thing as free trade

Economic nationalism works

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

A US-Turkish Clash in Syria?

By Patrick J. Buchanan, January 18, 2018: The war for dominance in the Middle East, following the crushing of ISIS, appears about to commence in Syria — with NATO allies America and Turkey on opposing sides. Turkey is moving armor and troops south to Syria’s border enclave of Afrin, occupied by Kurds, to drive them… Continue reading A US-Turkish Clash in Syria?
