Despite all the spin, the non-stop propaganda, a dreadful drought and the two “record” hot years, most Australians still don’t agree with the IPCC. This is exactly the same as it was in 2015 when the CSIRO last did a serious climate poll. So we sit, a nation of majority skeptics, with no major party to vote for and hardly any TV media, academics or politicians making the case that the IPCC might

Michael Krieger of LibertyBlitzkrieg.com joins us to discuss his latest article, “Russiagate Might Be Dead, but Big Tech Censorship Is Here to Stay.” Today we examine the real legacy of Russiagate: the neo-McCarthyite censorship campaign that has purged independent voices from social media.

Traditional surgery to reshape a nose or ear entails cutting, sometimes followed by long recovery times and scars. Now, researchers have developed a 'molecular surgery' process using tiny needles, electric current and 3D molds to quickly reshape living tissue with no incisions, scarring or recovery time. It shows promise as a noninvasive alternative to laser eye surgery.

Reading this piece on rising greenhouse gas emissions in today's Guardian reminded me of those old movie scenes where some character gives another one a good slap to snap them out of whatever foolish thinking they're engaging in. In this case, the crazy thinking would involve anything to do with believing that the world is actually jumping on the problem of greenhouse gas emissions. Nope. Energy

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner. They vote for free breadsticks. They go to the restaurant, which will only sell breadsticks at the usual price.

David Brooks does a good job explaining why many people--myself included--find Pete Buttigieg the most compelling figure in the race for president right now. Mayor Pete's views are to the left of mine, but at some point, competence is more important than ideology.

A couple of weeks ago, I gave a talk at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. I said that, although I am not a fan of President Trump, I have to give him credit for making good appointments to the Fed. I was thinking about people like Jay Powell, Rich Clarida, and Randy Quarles. Then today the president nominates Stephen Moore to be a Fed governor. Steve is an amiable guy, but he does not have the i

The controlled opposition have been at it again. Just like Breivik in Oslo, now another useful idiot, Brenton Tarrant in Christchurch, has murdered ordinary people who were just living their lives, and by his actions, any criticism of globalisation and the dilution of cultural homogeneity, can be labelled as hateful and an incitement to violence. In New Zealand, gun control is set to be achieved,

In a possible sign of the apocalypse, I actually agree with something my state's Senator, Sen. Marco Rubio, has done. I'm stunned but pleasantly surprised that he has introduced something to help working people, despite being the senator for very anti-employee Florida. Senator Rubio has introduced the Freedom To Compete Act , a bill that would prohibit employers from forcing exempt workers from en

The United States is way behind most other western nations in protecting its workers. While Congress has dropped into paralysis, U.S. cities have stepped in where Congress and the states have failed to protect working Americans. Florida is one of the most anti-employee states in the nation. The cities here could do much to help working people if they had the political will. Here are some examples

When I first started to try to get public attention for my unprecedented scientific discovery, of what I have called the Great Design of the "gods", I knew its revolutionary uncovering of the single, objective origin of all the popularly-called ancient mysteries would be likely ignored by anyone in authority.

"It ain't over till it's over!" shouted Yogi Berra. And he was right! This appears to be the mentality of the people who have been shrieking "TREASON!!!" at the top of their lungs for the last 2+ years. But in this case (unlike Berra) I think they're wrong. Sure, we haven't seen the report. But Mueller hasn't spoken out against anyone who says that his inquiry found no evidence of collusion. So I

So, Robert Mueller ... you remember him? This guy: Had somehow morphed into this: Well, he's delivered his final report to the US Attorney-General and apparently there'll be no further indictments as a result of his investigation. USAG Barr has delivered a summary to Congress that says much the same thing. So, even though nobody but the crooked executive branch has read the report, unless they're

So, to review from parts I and II , ... It is upsetting that the Trudeau government interfered with the independence of the legal system on behalf of the powerful, Liberal-supporting, super-corrupt engineering firm SNC-Lavalin for crass political purposes. And it is stupid, self-defeating behaviour for self-proclaimed "progressives" to twist themselves into pretzels trying to defend this sleazy b

When I first heard about the accusations that Jody Wilson-Raybould had been removed as Attorney General because she insisted on prosecuting SNC-Lavalin, rather than allow the corporation to have a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, my ears perked up. You see, it's a pet-peeve of mine the way corporate criminals and fraudsters are almost never held accountable for their actions in this country. Billi

I finished reading this fine biography a while ago, but I've been having trouble writing about it. It was very good.

There are many biographies of Jackie Robinson out there, but Jackie Robinson: A Biography by Arnold Rampersad is said to

I was sure that one of the downsides of moving to a small town in a relatively remote area would be a serious lack of food choices. I've been very happy to be wrong! There aren't a lot of restaurants here, but what's here is very good -- well-prepared, fresh, tasty food, and excellent, friendly service. As with most things, I'm finding that having a few choices are enough. I cook a lot more now,

Ever since we moved here, I've been fascinated with our town's proximity to Cape Scott Provincial Park . Cape Scott is a wilderness park, accessible mainly through the rugged North Coast Trail -- for very serious hikers, i.e. , not us. But I've read that some small sections are more accessible for a day hike. People rave about the beauty of San Josef Bay -- known locally as Sanjo Bay -- but always

A few weeks ago, we took a scenic drive known as the Alice Lake Loop . We read there were various short hikes and natural attractions along the way. We may have missed some stops or turn-offs, as it really was mostly driving and very little walking. On the other hand, in an area that is trying to reinvent itself as a tourism destination, any attraction, no matter how small, is included in the guid

It is clear we are failing to address nature loss; Biodiversity continues to decline, with devastating consequences. Global wildlife populations have declined on average by 60 per cent in the past 40 years. This is a warning sign that nature is in a state of emergency.

As those of you know, who visit here regularly, I have been suggesting for years that we revisit the Betty Hill star map.

The only trouble with it was that she did that decades ago and our knowledge of our section of the ga

This week I spoke with Nick Pope, he of the UK’s Ministry of Defence UFO desk. This started because I had seen a couple of posts on the Internet suggesting that Nick was some sort of dupe or shill hiding the real UFO program. He was an agent of disinformation.

I believe the mystery of Oak Island has been solved. The Laginas boys have provided many hints that have been overlooked and Joy Steele provided the history that brings it all together.

Let’s look at some of the evidence. Sev

Well, it’s happened again. Jack the Ripper has been positively identified as Aaron Kosminski. He was a polish barber and who had been one of the prime suspects at the time.

Those stains have been matched through DNA with Kosminski. There is only one pr

Thinking about politics in general, a useful distinction is made in Alexander Gallas's analysis of Thatcherism by identifying economic order politics and class politics.

Many years ago I was a somewhat inactive member of a small, ultra-left group . In the flesh they were nice, supportive and very comradely.

They also had a logical and consistent project: the refoundation of the Communist Party of Great Britain, and

And so she's done it. The one thing she had left - the keys to number 10 - were dangled in front of this afternoon's 1922 Committee meeting of Tory MPs and she promised to hand them over if her deal gets through.
