For months, I have been expressing disbelief that Hunter Biden and his defense team were going to take the gun case to trial.

By Paul Homewood One more reason why the Net Zero Act must be cancelled. The UK’s energy security is far too important to be put at the whim of a judge and an eco-nutjob, who is no doubt funded by far left eco groups. (It is an extremely expensive process going to judicial review, […]

As submissions to the Waitangi Tribunal concerning the Māori language have made clear, ‘taonga’ refers to all dimensions of a tribal group’s estate, material and non-material – heirlooms and wahi tapu (sacred places), ancestral lore…

Below is my column in the New York Post on the conviction of Hunter Biden in Delaware and how his nullification strategy may have backfired. As discussed below, empathy can turn into insult when jurors are given patently implausible theories by the defense. Hunter finally found a group of people who were unwilling to see […]
