Down Under, a world asunder thanks to COVID and leftism
This is a guest post from “Nodrog,” my Australian friend, bemoaning the state of his home country.

Every nation should learn Australia’s lessons
What happens when a country divests itself of anything that can assure its self-sufficiency? Australia provides an answer to that question. My friend, “Nodrog,” wrote me a letter about his native Australia. I found it so fascinating and insightful that I asked him to turn it into a post for

So much to share with you, and so many demands on my time. I’ll make it quick, tantalizing you with short links to wonderful things: We know the other media outlets are hostile to Israel, but is it possible that Fox News is also turning on Israel? CAMERA has caught

Let me start by saying that I think Charles Krauthammer is one of the most brilliant, thoughtful, informed conservative thinkers around. About eighty percent of the time when I read something he’s written I find myself nodding my head in agreement or exclaiming enthusiastically (and yes, I talk to myself)

Hillary has been taunting the NRA and its members: Hillary Clinton is ramping up her rhetoric on guns, comparing the National Rifle Association (NRA) to global adversaries she negotiated with as secretary of State. “You know, the NRA’s position reminds me of negotiating with the Iranians or the communists,” [Mrs.]

I was very sad to read that Australian Prime Minister John Howard lost the election, especially because Australians turned Left to defeat him. I wonder just how long they’ll be happy with new PM Rudd’s plans to mess with Australia’s economy (which will inevitably happen with Labor in power), an

While we were all delighting in the tough stance the Australian government has taken towards terrorism, it seems that Australian TV has fallen into the same swamp as American TV, which insists that all people who can claim victimhood must be heard, their complaints taken seriously, and the rest of

Austrialian government officials have impressed many with their frank speaking about the threat of radical Islam. It turns out that this isn’t just talk, but is also allied with bipartisan action aimed at exposing and isolating radical Islamists in Australia: It so happens that the approach advocated for Britain by

Bush has shown remarkable courage in sticking to his guns in the war. However, his actions are not matched by his words. He’s too polite, too worried, to well-counseled, too restrained for whatever reason to call things as they are. John Howard, Australia’s Prime Minister, is not so constrained, as
