Utopia, you are standing in it!

Below is my column in The Hill on the recent discovery of a $200,000 payment to Joe Biden from his brother James Biden. The investigation into the massive influence peddling operation of the Bidens has revealed a consistent pattern of corruption. Frank, James, and Hunter all were in financial distress at different points with few […]

The President’s Taunt to Show Him the Money May Have Just Backfired

The image most of us had of former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis was a remarkably cheerful mugshot after her arrest in the RICO case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. Ellis made a very different appearance today in state court as she pleaded guilty to intentionally interfering in the election process in the […]

Jenna Ellis Admits to Criminal False Statements in Ominous Plea for Trump

By Paul Homewood   If you tell a lie often enough, most people believe it!   https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/13/climate-breakdown-majority-americans-experienced-record-hot-summer    Record heat?   Not according to NOAA:     The summer across the US as a whole was only the 15th hottest on mean temperatures, and 22nd for maximums, well below the 1930s. Only one State, Louisiana, […]

Record US Heat? More Guardian Lies!

TweetDavid Gillette and Warren Barge decry the FTC’s assault on Amazon. A slice: The FTC argues that Amazon’s market power inhibits the ability of competitors to enter the retail superstore marketplace. Such concerns are likely overblown. The striking similarities between Amazon and previous market giants deserve consideration. Let’s compare Amazon with Sears. Both companies started…

Maybe they might like to explain why flooding was so bad in the 1950s: A trawl through the Met Office monthly weather reports of the time finds these references to severe floods:

Let’s talk about international law, Hamas and Israel

The grim events of the last couple of weeks, and a note from a reader last week about a short post I’d written several years ago comparing the economic performance of Israel and New Zealand, prompted me to take another look at the data. This was the chart from the earlier (2018) post As I […]

Israel’s economic performance

Continuing our series on factions, Alfie Steer, historian of modern and contemporary Britain, discusses one of the more controversial party factions, the Monday Club, and reflects on the limitations our oral history archive has encountered with such topics. On Monday, 3 February 1961, the Prime Minister Harold Macmillan addressed the South African parliament. Now remembered as the ‘Winds […]

The Monday Club

I’m afraid I’ll be posting more about the war today—but from various angles. The angle here is the failure of the New York Times in reporting the war, and especially the explosion at Al-Ahli Hospital.  The Times, relying entirely on information from Hamas and its agencies, published an initial headline (see here and here), “Israel […]

The failure(s) of the New York Times

A little over 20 years ago, Australia plugged in to the wind and solar transition with the Federal government’s Renewable Energy Target. As they say, ‘sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind’. Australia’s once reliable and affordable power supplies are long gone, replaced by heavily subsidised, intermittent and costly wind and solar, backed up by […]

Suicidal Tendencies: Wind & Solar Obsession Destroys Australia’s Economic Future

As Israel’s troops and tanks sit waiting at the border to invade Gaza, I’m starting to wonder if they really will invade.  For when I remember that Israel’s avowed aim is to get rid of Hamas, and then think of the options  Israel has (I’ve concluded that a ground invasion was the best tactic), I […]
