- George Galloway: I now wear a star on my chest thanks to Twitter’s extraordinary ‘state media’ discrimination
I don't know if you will ever read this. At the least, it will now have a metaphorical red star atop it, in a (vain, I hope) attempt to dissuade you from doing so. - How liberal is US media? Torch a cop car and win praise, but never be a Catholic kid in a MAGA hatTwo pro-Black Lives Matter activists in the US, charged with multiple felonies, are promoted by the mainstream media as real-life American heroes and martyrs. But who will speak out for the truly innocent?
- There’s no medical reason for keeping schools shut. In fact, it is causing much more harm to children than Covid-19 ever couldKeeping schools closed, as many teaching unions want, will cause more injuries and deaths to children and long-term damage to their educations. Yet the threat from Covid-19 to them – and to their teachers – is tiny.
- This lawsuit that’s seeking to shut down the NRA isn’t about guns. It’s naked electoral interference, pure & simpleNew York’s attorney general – a Democrat – has filed a lawsuit to try and dissolve the National Rifle Association. It’s political activism masquerading as judicial oversight, aimed solely at cutting off funding for Republicans.
- John Pilger: Another Hiroshima is coming – unless we stop it nowWhen I first went to Hiroshima in 1967, the shadow on the steps was still there. It was an almost perfect impression of a human being at ease: legs splayed, back bent, one hand by her side as she sat waiting for a bank to open.
- ‘We want to delete more!’ Facebook must choose freedom of speech over censorship, if it still pretends to be ‘a platform’Facebook’s moderators have called on advertisers to keep boycotting the site, over the way it deals with “hate speech,” but they really just want to stop Trump winning again.
- Anti-English racism risks turning Scottish independence toxic and creating a kilt-wearing Nigel McFarageThe Scottish independence movement is being contaminated by bitter anti-English sentiment. A grassroots leader has already quit because of it – and unless it’s addressed, there’s a real danger of it going mainstream.
- Covid bailout fund shows that fairness is rarely on the agenda at the EU, and this time it’s Ireland who is the clear loserA €750-bn coronavirus recovery fund will be shared among the damaged economies of the European Union. But that money is not free and Ireland, with a lower death toll than many, now has extra public debt, worth €3,400 per person.
- Why tedious virtue signaling is making millions of TV viewers switch off the NBA and MLBYou’d expect a nation deprived of live action to be glued to the TV as basketball and baseball return. But as the players take the knee, US viewing figures have tanked - proving people don’t want woke preaching with their sport.
- Forever Family protestors dressed as black paramilitaries look like Britain’s NFAC, and are not helping the fight against racismThe appearance of a new black activist organisation in the UK, the secretive Forever Family, echoes the armed NFAC militia in the US. And both are undermining the achievements of Black Lives Matter.
- Wayne Dupree: Joe Biden's latest gaffe proves he’s the biggest racist of all. When is enough, enough?The Democratic presidential contender has shown his true colours by continually denigrating and stereotyping African-Americans. Yet Trump, who’s done more to benefit minorities than any other president, is the one called racist?

- Fact check: Was censored Trump right to say that children are ‘almost immune’ from Covid-19?Facebook and Twitter have taken down the US president’s claims on the insusceptibility of children to Covid-19 – a fact on which the science supports him – proving that Big Tech is increasingly acting in a nakedly political way.
- Mars colonization is ever more likely, but don’t get too excited – it’ll be billionaires deciding who gets there, and howThe latest successful rocket test by SpaceX could mean we’ll see humans on Mars in the next decade, funded by private entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. But will they take charge of the newly conquered Red Planet too?
- Michelle Obama’s ‘low grade depression’ may very well be real but framing it politically smacks of attention seeking point scoringThe former First Lady claims that her ennui has been brought on by a variety of things including the pandemic, racial issues in America, and the “hypocrisy” of the Trump administration.
- A Sovereign Citizen revival could spark anarchy – but our leaders are bringing it upon themselvesSovereign Citizens, an obscure and sometimes violent underground movement, is becoming visible again, as draconian laws such as those enacted in Melbourne drive people to rebel against oppressive authorities.
- The future is ‘CLEAR’ and it’s Dystopian: Virus hype ushers in a Covid 19-84 nightmare of restricted accessClear’s new Health Pass and other ‘Covid hi-tech innovations’ are a stark warning of how the globalist ‘New Normal’ being mapped out will operate. Access to travel, sport & restaurants may be barred for all who refuse to comply.
- Social justice is a tumor, and it just killed a Kindergarten Cop screeningA Portland theater was going to screen the Arnold Schwarzenegger comedy, ‘Kindergarten Cop,’ but it was pulled for its ‘pro-police’ messaging. On top of missing the point of the film, where does anti-cop sentiment end in fiction?
- Takes one to know one? New ‘Russian disinformation’ scare-sheet by State Department’s propaganda arm is full of projectionThe State Department has released a report purporting to unmask “Russia’s disinformation and propaganda ecosystem,” highlighting supposed Russian proxies in an effort to cast all opposition to US policy as Kremlin-linked.
- The US bombed Japan in 1945 to demonstrate its power to the USSR. Intimidation, NOT deterrence was, is and always will be the goalAs the world reflects on the decision by the US to drop two atomic bombs on Japan at the end of World War II, the reality is that the US nuclear enterprise remains the greatest threat to world peace.
- UK’s plan to pump billions into broken housing system won’t help those weeks away from post-Covid homelessnessTo prop up the housing market after the coronavirus lockdown, Britain plans to spend some £3.8 billion ($5 billion) in tax breaks. But that won’t help those who are staring at the abyss of homelessness come late August.
- Picnics and celebrity weddings are the latest to be added to the ever-growing list of things that are racist. Pass the sick bucketAccording to disingenuous race hustlers the simple act of eating outdoors is evocative of lynching and Ryan Reynolds getting married at a old plantation glamorises slavery. How is anyone taking this nonsense seriously?
- Climate change will not cause our extinction. Life on Earth is better now than at any time – and will keep on getting betterA new book by a leading sceptic of climate policy demonstrates that humans have a bright future.
