It was the ever-polite Sir Roger's audacious mission to confront time and again the Left with humorous and intelligent critiques of its nostrums and dogma, and to detail their inevitably awful consequences. In uniting tradition and freedom, he provided a counter to the hysteria, fear, irrationality, lies, fallacies, self-delusion and groupthink of ideologues

Is it too much for victims of Trump Derangement Syndrome to consider, if for only a moment, that the US President has just made the world a little safer by removing Qasem Soleimani from it? Yes, it's probably beyond their ken, but the fact remains that Tehran's tyrants will now be looking often and anxiously over their shoulders

The mendacity of the tyrannically bohemian Left dresses up its PC dogma in the guise of open-mindedness and inclusivity. So spare a thought for persecuted Christians today; not just those in China, Pakistan and the Middle East, but also for our very own Dreyfus.

Today's big news is that Donald Trump asked Scott Morrison's help to establish Alexander Downer's role, witting or otherwise, in launching the Russiagate hoax. In the October edition of Quadrant, now on sale, Daryl McCann unravels some of those knots. Released early from our paywall, his review of 'Ball of Collusion' makes timely reading

Joe Biden sold out all his principles—if principles and Obama’s number two or, as he now bills himself, Obama’s “buddy”—can be used in the same sentence. If the establishment Democrat versus the populist Republican match-up did not work out for the Democrats in 2016, it is even less likely to do so this time around

What truth-seeking has the mass media pursued during the great Russiagate hoax? For more than two years, the New York Times, Washington Post and countless other Big Media outlets demonised Donald Trump as Putin's puppet. That there was no evidence mattered not at all

Some believed Bob Hawke's death would generate votes for the ALP. But when I thought of the late Labor leader it was not Billl Shorten who came to mind but Scott Morrison -- a man comfortable in his own skin, like Hawke, and thoroughly pleased with his lot as a regular Australian
