Leftists; Just Keep Shouting “Racist!”
What a nasty piece of photo-shopping this is: This is the original pic: It is hard to imagine the kind of steamed up hatefulness that would think it acceptable and moral to defame ordinary people in this way, and almost equally difficult to understand so deep a need to believe other people are racist that …

Bashing Emergency Service Workers is Not OK
Unless you are a woman who might be inconvenienced by having to serve a jail sentence. Or at least, that is the impression given by a recent decision in a Victorian court. State law requires a mandatory minimum jail term of six months for assaulting an emergency service worker. This didn’t bother Judge Barbara Cotterell. …
Why is Britain Selling Weapons to our Enemies?
Erdogan is no friend to the West. He is a violent, oppressive dictator, and a supporter of terrorism. Prime Minister May knows this; hence the “stern warning.” Is the UK so desperate for money it has to resort to selling powerful modern weapons to the enemies of civilization?
Iran May Name Bribe Recipients
Senior advisors in Iran are threatening to name Western officials to whom bribes were paid to seal the Iran peace deal. Oh Yes. Please do. We all know which side of politics has absolutely nothing to fear from those revelations. Of course, if Iran does release the names of officials and politicians who received, ah …
Hurricane Harvey Scares – Zombie Science
A few political hacks masquerading as scientists released a paper on 23rd April called “Hurricane Harvey: Links to Ocean Heat Content and Climate Change Adaptation.” You can find the paper at the American Geophysical Union with the breathless headline “Record Breaking Ocean Heat Fuelled Hurricane Harvey.” One of the authors of this travesty is Keith …
To Reduce Debt, Cut Spending
It seems a simple enough solution; to reduce debt, reduce spending. This graph from Australia’s IPA (Institute of Public Affairs) shows just how effective a one percent reduction in overall spending would be, wiping out the deficit in the current year, and halving gross debt in two years: Instead, we have another budget of the …
Next Year in Jerusalem
Firstly, that very strange girl from Israel won the Eurovision Song Contest. Not a song or a style that appeals to me, but nonetheless, well done. This means next year’s Contest will be held in Jerusalem. And that is great. And, today marks the day when the United States finally does what its Congress voted …
Terrifying New Data on Sea Level Rise
Terrifying to climate alarmists, that is. Sea level has been rising for the last 20,000 years, since the start of the blessed global warming that brought us into the light, warmth and buzzing with life bio-diversity of the current inter-glacial period. The most rapid increases in sea level occurred between fifteen and eight thousand years …
Australian Federal Budget 2018
I am just back from a long day at work, and too tired to think in detail about the 2018 budget. But the Greens hate it, so that is an indication that at least some aspects of it are positive. These might include reducing the likelihood of “bracket creep” for low and middle income earners. …
Doctors Remove 132 Pound Ovarian Tumour
A 132-pound ovarian tumor was removed from a 38-year-old Connecticut woman this year, according to two doctors involved in the case. The patient, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that the tumor began growing at a rate of about 10 pounds per week in November. A medical team, including 12 surgeons, removed it in a …
Chicago Gun Violence
“New reports reveal a deadly wave of gun violence in Chicago, with nearly forty people shot in three days. A 15-year old boy, a young mother, and even a four-year-old girl sitting on her porch have all been shot dead. These are just a few of the nearly 40 people who were gunned down in …
Saudi Arabia to Permit Churches
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad has agreed to allow Christians to build churches in Saudi Arabia. If this is accurate, it is a remarkable breakthrough. Muhammad said that no religions other than Islam should be permitted on the Arabian peninsula. There will be strong resistance from Islamic leaders to any suggestion Christians should be allowed to …
Trump Right on Korean Peace
South Korean President Moon Jae-in says President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing about the new rapport between North and South Korea, and for getting North Korea to agree to dismantle its nuclear arms programme: “South Korean President Moon Jae-in thinks US President Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts …
Changes in Climate Have Nothing to Do With Changes in Atmospheric CO2
CO2 is not a driver of climate. Climate changes constantly. There is no long-term correlation between rises in CO2 and subsequent rises in globally averaged temperatures. CO2 is vital for all life on earth. At levels below 300 ppm, plant growth and productivity begins to be severely impaired. Optimum levels for plant growth seems to …
