It is divisive by definition to recognise there can be two or more points of view, which is not a bad thing if people of good will anoint their disagreements with the oil of civility. But when a dominant group insists on its version and silences those who dare to differ in part or whole, as we are seeing today, purges and show trials are not too far down the road

This not the time for those who should know better to publicly argue for one or other COVID-19 vaccine, not when full and adequate evidence for any such choice is well down the line. What the current moment most definitely does demand is early treatment, especially for the aged and most vulnerable, and for this two cheap, proven and off-patent drugs are readily available -- hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin

Why the US Supreme Court decided Texas lacked standing to challenge voter fraud in other states will never be known beyond the justices' curt refusal to take up the matter. With hindsight's benefit it was the moment Donald Trump should have accepted grim reality and conceded defeat -- defeat not in a bent election but in his doomed efforts to overturn its tainted result

With the West's leading cultural institutions infiltrated, seized and colonised by the Left, it will often seem to those concerned for their careers that silence is the best policy. That is a mistake, for there are ways to fight back -- ways that, like the West itself, arise from the individual. Take heart. Speak up. Fight back. If not you, who?

The ABC is scrupulous, when anything supposedly offensive to Aborigines is coming up, in interpolating an unctuous ‘warning’, but never feels obliged to alert Christians that a torrent of blasphemy is on the way, which these days comes in a ceaseless stream. No need to guess what would be in store for any comic who dared sneer at the Rainbow Serpent

The national broadcaster's Laura Tingle weighed in last night on mobs invading temples of democracy by giving the 1996 assault on Parliament by unionists, Aborigines and assorted rent-a-ferals the once over lightly. Then she was off and running with a barely masticated regurgitation of Labor's latest talking points about Craig Kelly and other designated targets

It seems there is a masochistic streak in the minds of some who profess to be conservatives, notably those who so despised Donald Trump they are cheering his political demise. Let's see how they enjoy four years of humiliation, submission, censorship and 24/7 abuse at the hands of the Left

As is her wont, the ABC's chief pursuer of George Pell has been speaking yet again about herself and how wrong it is that her quarry was exonerated by the High Court's 7-0 decision. It is a revealing interview, not least for demonstrating that a journalist who boasts of having obtained a law degree grasps so little about justice, the courts and, for that matter, principled journalism

Although no laughing matter, it reads like a comic novel -- Vladimir Putin's assassins attempt to silence a political foe once and for all by sprinkling his underpants with Novichok. Not only does the victim survive, he extracts the full details of the plot by posing as an intelligence service debriefer and demanding to be told how the hit was planned and why it failed
