Since I came to Australia a couple of years ago, there is one word, associated with an Australian actor, which has been shouted at me more than any other. Mel Gibson’s portrayal of the Scottish hero, William Wallace, is summed up by his crying in [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about honour lately, or perhaps the lack of it in today’s culture, particularly manly honour. What is it exactly and why has it lost its value in our culture. According to Collins Dictionary: Honour means doing what you believe to [...]

Commenting on the news that Sexual Revolutionaries are bragging about getting LifeSiteNews banned by Facebook, Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., said, “Now we know who decides on Facebook’s ‘community standards’: the National Abortion Rights Action League, GLAAD, the Human Rights Campaign and [...]

Woke mobs aren’t new. There was one out and about on Good Friday, if you recall. Following a Passover custom, Pilate offered to release Jesus, if the crowds so wished. But the leading priests stirred up the people, until in unison they shouted, “Crucify him!” [...]

Some ideas on how you can fight back. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ll be familiar with the new craze sweeping the West as the 2020s unfold, known as “cancel culture”. The more this phenomenon grows, the more the label risks being misapplied. [...]

Dr. Seuss has become the latest casualty of cancel culture. On what would have been the 117th birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (1904–1991), Dr. Seuss Enterprises made the decision to remove six of the author’s books from circulation, including the title that launched his career, [...]

“This may be the greatest threat to freedom in America today,” Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., said of censorship and the cancel culture. Earlier this month, the pro-family group MassResistance discovered that its credit-card processing had been shut down. Supporters who tried [...]

But who is really threatening our survival as a free people? “You’re a traitor,” the Left bellows. “It’s an insurrection." But don’t sweat it. Progressives merely want to demonise their opponents, crush free speech, stage witch hunts, and destroy as many lives as possible in [...]

St George-Illawarra are the latest corporate casualties of cancel culture. Showing a distinct lack of courage, they have recently capitulated to many in the mainstream media who were hysterically calling for Folau's lifetime ban from the NRL to be upheld. And the fact that I [...]

Last week, a Chinese citizen journalist was sentenced to four years in jail. Her crime: reporting on the coronavirus outbreak that began in her city of Wuhan. Zhang Zhan, 37, insists that all of her reports were based on first-hand accounts from locals. But because [...]

Cancel culture is censorship culture: The cancel culture is alive and well, and getting worse by the day. Usually the targets are Christians and conservatives -- especially Christian conservatives. But so bad has this toxic movement become that now it is consuming its own. We [...]

Thin-skinned trolls bombard a small family business -- to what end? Last week on Facebook, I noticed a post on a page titled, “Diary of a Not-So-Angry Asian Adoptee”: What was she so upset about? The owner of a small family business, Cider Flats Apple [...]

History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes.

In April 1942, Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew, is forcibly transported to the concentration camps at Auschwitz-Birkenau. When his captors discover that he speaks several languages, he is put to work as a Tätowierer (the German word for tattooist), tasked with permanently marking his fellow [...]
