Surprising, is it not, that Joe Biden is not calling on the military to prevent a fascist from gaining the presidency. What is not surprising is that Trump sees his revenge on those who spread calumny after calumny about him and who waged continual lawfare on him only in terms of being successful in making…

Here is the popular vote (in millions rounded to the nearest thousand) for the winners and losers in U.S. presidential elections from 2000 onwards, including the latest figures (Nov 8) for 2024. In brackets I have put the total percentage of the vote of the two candidates combined. You can check my numbers here. 2000…

Conservative Catholic Archbishop Carlo Vigano, earlier this year excommunicated for crossing the heretic Pope, has bowed into the US election, calling for a vote for Trump in an open letter to Catholics dated October 22. It is worth viewing in its entirety. You can find it in numbers of places including here on the Tucker…

I see that a gang of twenty-three Nobel Prize (equivalent) winning economists think that Kamala’s economic policies are better than Trump’s. It is like an endorsement from white dudes for Harris, another win for Trump is the way to look at it. Unfortunately these economists are Keynesians and most certainly global warmists. For those not…

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Australia’s fertility rate fell to 1.5 babies per woman in 2023. The ABS have an informative graph going back to 1935. Then it was 2.115, just enough to see the population edging up. It gradually rose to 3.548 in 1961 before falling to 2.148 in 1975. Since…

Here is H.G. Wells explaining in his book Anticipations (1901) why the steam engine rather than windmills became preferred for pumping water from low-lying coal mines in England: “Wind was extremely inconvenient for the purpose of pumping, because in these latitudes it is inconstant: it was costly, too, because at any time the labourers might…

At my Anglican church each week there are prayers for world peace. I assume this occurs in all Christian churches. Praying for peace is admirable but a complete waste of time. Christians familiar with the Book of Revelation should know that. The world will end warring. World peace will never arrive. A practical prayer, steeped…

Saw Andrew Bolt interviewing former US general Jack Keane in the week. Keane is now chairman of the Institute for the Study of War. Bolt often has him on and they madly agree with each other. Both are firmly on the side of Israel and its need to be given arms and free air to…

Suffering from a crisis in confidence. Be not alarmed. This is not a personal crisis.  It is just that I see very little in the current Labor government to convince me that its redemption is likely; i.e., a radical change of course. Let’s go back in time. Take the second and third Gough Whitlam ministries.…

Saw on Sky News that Pope Francis has urged US voters to consider the “lesser of two evils.” Namely, between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. Said that he couldn’t tell Catholics how to vote but that they should look to their consciences. That’s good advice for everything. He might have stopped there. He didn’t. He…
