After this column ran, Fox’s Brian Kilmeade conducted an interview with Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin. What was striking about the interview is not just the […]

Why are Gender Pay Gaps so Large in Japan and South Korea?
26 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
From Alice Evans: Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are closing gender gaps in pay, seniority and parliamentary representation. Japan and South Korea, meanwhile, have the largest gender pay gaps in the OECD. Management remains 85% male. Female graduates are treated like secretaries, expected to pour the tea and run errands. In Japan, a female graduate earns the same as a man […]

Denmark Restores Blasphemy Prosecutions
26 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

In 2017, Denmark took a historic step in favor of free speech by rescinding its blasphemy law after 334 years. For those of us in the free speech community, it was an important moment in Europe where free speech is being rapidly reduced. Now, however, the liberal government is moving to reinstate the blasphemy crime…

26 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

By Paul Homewood h/t Dennis Ambler It seems the Met Office is getting worried that its one-sided reporting of climate change is becoming exposed, as people are beginning to check the facts for themselves: A toolkit of information you can trust. There is overwhelming evidence that climate change is affecting the health of the […]

26 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

It is easy to take the long reign of Elizabeth I for granted. But less than four years after Elizabeth ascended the throne, her life was nearly cut short, threatening to bring down the curtain on the Tudor dynasty. What might have ensued is explored by Dr Andrew Thrush, editor of our Lords 1558-1603 section… On 10 […]

Below is my column on the search for the true identity of Robert L. Peters, the name Republicans believe was used by then Vice President Joe Biden in emails that contradict his past claims on the influence peddling scandal. Here is the column: He is a man with many names. “Celtic.” “The Big Guy.” According […]

Germany’s cheap public transport ticket an ‘ineffective climate tool’
24 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

German hydrogen train [image credit: Euractiv] No surprise there. What are these delusional climate worriers even talking about? If ‘the climate’ was human it wouldn’t give a hoot how Germans get around, but might be bemused to find itself corroding the minds of their leaders with their irrational obsession over ‘carbon emissions’ to the exclusion […]

Pulping Fiction: Why The Wind & Solar Transition Ain’t Happening (Now or Ever)
24 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
Big claims and loose talk about the grand wind and solar energy ‘transition’ don’t make it so. And there is no shortage of either, with myth and mantra being the order of the day. Notwithstanding a staggering and rapid increase in the amount of money squandered on wind and solar, their relative contribution to world […]

BRYCE EDWARDS: Is it now all over for the Labour Government?
23 Aug 2023 Leave a comment
Bryce Edwards writes – Labour appears to be in something of an electoral death spiral. The four-point drop in last night’s 1News Verian poll to just 29 per cent – together with National’s bump up to 37 per cent – suggests that the gulf between the left and right blocs is now opening up, and […]

Mythbusting: There’s No Way Wind & Solar Are Cheaper Than Coal & Gas
23 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When […]

The Disqualification of Donald Trump and Other Legal Urban Legends
23 Aug 2023 Leave a comment

Below is a slightly expanded version of my column in The Hill on the increasingly popular theory that former president Donald Trump is already barred from office under the 14th Amendment. It is a theory that, in my view, has a political appeal that outstrips its constitutional support. In a constitution designed to protect free […]
