Nigel Biggar is Regius professor emeritus of moral theology at the University of Oxford. He is author of Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning (HarperCollins, 2023), which attempts a balanced view of colonialism seeing it as having negative, but also many positive effects, leading people into modern civilisation. In a speech given in London on ...
F. Roger Devlin, author of the feminist critique, Sexual Utopia in Power (2015), has done a superb review of Catherine Ruth Pakaluk Hannah's Children: The Women Quietly Defying the Birth Dearth New York: Regnery Gateway, 2024. This is very helpful to those of us who are pensioners with a limited budget, that is, no money at all, for new books...
It is no longer the case that woke nonsense comes exclusively from the Arts/Humanities/Social Sciences at the modern decadent universities. A lot now comes from the sciences and STEM in general. Thus, according to botanists at the University of Michigan, the use of Latin names for plants may be "racist." And why is that? "[W]hen botanical gardens a...
The case of Joe Biden shows that one can be senile, but still nasty; losing one's marbles does not make one a better person, the same evil flows through the veins: "Joe Biden "said the quiet part out loud" Tuesday, when he told a group of Democrats in New Hampshire that former President Trump needs to be thrown in jail. While speaking at the Granit...
There was an X class solar flare, electromagnetic pulse from the sun, on October 8, 2024: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14703/. Why should this bit of science be of intertest? Well, intense solar storms can do considerable damage to the electronics on the Earth, and X-class flares are the strongest. The 1859 Carrington Event was strong enough to set te...
The global assault upon Christianity comes largely from the same body of elites who are engaged in the general war against free speech. Probably the attack upon Christianity has been going on much longer, at least throughout the 20th century, beginning with the liberal Christian critique of the established Christian doctrines. Much earlier, people ...
Long have I sought the ultimate of woke, something combining climate change, feminism, anti-racism and who knows what else. Here is a candidate, with my critique to follow after the quote from Breitbart: https://www.breitbart.com/2024-election/2024/10/22/kamala-harriss-climate-czar-fossil-fuel-industry-is-death-cult/ "The Kamala Harris campaign has...
A lawsuit was filed on October 15, 2024, in the Southern District of Texas. It accuses Joe Biden, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Alejandro Mayorkas, and other top Biden officials of "murder," "treason," "genocide," and facilitating the use of weapons of mass destruction. The case is: Yellen et al v. Biden et al (Case No. 3:24-cv-00297). It alleges that Cov...
It is highly likely that despite the opinion polls and betting odds putting Trump ahead, he will still lose the 2024 US election, as the Democrats have an absolutely perfect system of election fraud. Illegal immigrants vote illegally in swing states, and the utterly corrupt courts do nothing about it. Dead people vote for the Democrats too. Huge ba...
It seems that softened bail laws, done to reduce the numbers of Aborigines in jail, bad optics, are being exploited. A woman who stole seven firearms, ammunition, $470,000 cash, gold nuggets and other valuables from a Hastings home in December 2023. However, the woman submitted an affidavit to the court claiming that she was an Aboriginal woman, wh...
There have been a number of novelty boxing matches over the last few years, with Musk against Zuckerberg being floated, but apparently not taken up by Musk. I would definitely like to see the fun match of academic conservative Jordan Peterson versus woke globalist Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau. This could be a grudge match stirred on by recent contro...
Poll data interpretations vary, with Breitbart articles putting Trump ahead of Harris. Others see them in a dead heat. As argued below, with biases in samples, it is probable that Trump is far ahead, especially as this time round, more Blacks and Hispanics are voting for Trump. However, for election fraud by the Democrats to at least be somewhat di...
Eric Utter has noted that there is a conceptual connection between atheism and abortion acceptance; this goes beyond observation of the historical trend in the US, that the percentage of Democrat voters accepting atheism, and loving abortion, has increased in recent years. This is no coincidence: "These things are inextricably connected. In fact, a...
As a nurse from long ago, before marriage, I learnt about CPR, which can save lives if a heart attack victim is present. It involved chest compression, and putting the breath of life into the person. Doing this to a woman necessarily involves pressing upon the breasts. And here you have the immediate problem: men doing this to an unconscious woman ...
The controversy over Kamala Harris plagiarising several sections of her book on crime, deepens, as it has been revealed that the level of cheating is far greater than the original article in the New York Times exposing this, documented. Dozens of sections of the book were copied from various sources, some of which must have violated copyright and i...
The climate change alarmist tribe argue that the high temperatures experienced across the globe in 2023 is part of a general trend of increasing temperatures, which is taken to confirm the global warming climate change hypothesis. Only, it does not. A year of high temperatures, even record temperatures do not prove this, unless it is part of a hist...
The pro-immigration lobbies across the West argue that mass immigration has enormous economic benefits, at least to their class. However, for society as a whole, the case of the UK is a refuting instance. At present immigration is soaring; net migration added 1.5 million to the population across 2022 and 2023. But real GDP per head, a measure of av...
With the attack upon Christianity gaining strength in the cultural revolution in the West of the 1960s, there was an exploration of various pagan religious themes. We saw the Rolling Stones dabble with Satanism, to define themselves as the bad boys of rock, to distinguish themselves from the rival Beatles. Thus, we had songs expressing sympathy for...
With blue-eyed fair-haired Nordics almost certainly destined to become extinct, sometime late in the 22nd century, it is fascinating to speculate about the origin of blue eyes, before this recessive gene is bred out of existence. One hypothesis is that such an eye colour arose by a mutation perhaps 10,000 years ago, where at the time, humanity had ...
Professor Ian Plimer has been a leading critic of climate change alarmism for many years now, producing a massive refutation, Heaven and Earth (2009). Most of the work is still relevant today, since the song very much remains the same, only the data and numbers get changed. The fundamental arguments are still the same, and so are the counter-argume...
