In Canada, euthanasia is to be made available for people who are simply suffering from mental illness. Assisted dying will become legal next year for Canadians with a mental disorder as their sole condition. The decision, announced by the Canadian Parliament, is a massive expansion [...]

A 72-year-old man has been jailed in the UK for selling mince pies during lockdown. He may have done the wrong thing, but I’m hoping he doesn’t spend too long in custardy. Dobbers Neighbours reported Maurice Snelling to police in December 2020 when they saw [...]

Thoughts on the election results. Late counting is still underway in the American mid-term elections, but by now we know fairly clearly how things have panned out: there was not a massive red wave for the Republicans as many expected, but there were some gains [...]

Within the space of a year, the West has moved from a world awash with money, high employment levels and ultra-low interest rates, to one of rising interest rates, lower growth and predicted high unemployment. This can be seen across North America, Western Europe and [...]

I find "culture" to be one of the most contested, discussed, yet ill-defined, concepts out there. It is a notoriously difficult concept to define with any precision. I think a good place to start is: shared human practices and habits which are not enforced or [...]

Just what does it take for the people of God to rise up and proclaim, “You shall go no further!” 1 Samuel 17 recounts the story of David and Goliath. It is one of the most well-known stories in the Old Testament. The church of [...]

If the planet were on fire, would your first thought be… let’s jump on a plane to talk about it? If it is, you probably don’t believe the planet is really on fire. But it’s okay, Yamin, because we don’t believe it either.

There is outrage in Norway after a man was sympathetically interviewed on television about his decision to begin identifying as a disabled woman. Jørund Viktoria Alme, 53, an able-bodied male who now identifies as a disabled woman, told Good Morning Norway that he had always [...]

A more honest headline for The Atlantic’s recent demand for amnesty over the pandemic response would have been: “Sorry, Not Sorry.” The sarcasm best represents the article’s smug sentiment.

Across the world, countries are already struggling to find sufficient workers to sustain the economy and retirees. “According to the United Nations, the earth’s population will reach 8 billion around November 15. But, due to rapidly declining fertility, the world’s population may begin falling by [...]

So-called renewable energy is reliant on fossil fuels and unethical, unsustainable Chinese manufacturing practices. Proponents of wind and solar energy insist that using renewable energy is saving the planet, because it avoids adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. However, as most solar and wind-energy technology [...]

As the USA grapples with rising costs of living and the world teeters on the brink of major war, Biden chose to have an interview with a transgender TikTok star. Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are choking on their Weetbix this morning in laughter at [...]

The Equal Access to Reproductive Care Act will use American taxpayers' money to fund surrogacy and IVF for homosexual couples, deliberately creating children who will be sundered from at least one biological parent from the moment of their conception or birth. It’s been seven years [...]

Statism and its war on God -- a closer look at twentieth-century atheistic political ideologies which sought to make the state supreme at the grievous cost of human freedom and lives. This is a follow-up piece to the earlier article I wrote on political religion. [...]

Microsoft has unveiled the latest gay Pride flag. The Pride flag has had more updates than Windows, so it makes sense that Bill Gates' team have had a go at it. Apparently, Microsoft designed the flag by having an intern chug paint and then vomit [...]

“According to the United Nations, the earth’s population will reach 8 billion around November 15, 2022. As we approach this milestone, a chorus of doom will arise from those who insist the earth is over-populated,” said Ruth Institute President Dr Jennifer Roback Morse, PhD. “But [...]

Don’t expect any apologies anytime soon. Little did I or anyone else know three years ago that the world would soon come to a standstill. Little did I or anyone else know three years ago that such a thing as Covid even existed. And little [...]

We may have alienated an ally, but look at the new friends we have! The Albanese government’s latest foreign policy move has received generous praise… from terrorists. The decision to reverse Australia’s recognition of West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has pleased all the [...]
