One would have hoped that with Obama being replaced on the scene by President Trump, the world would begin turning the page on vacuous social justice politics. Unfortunately that has not proved to be the case; as if to prove Marx’s theory that history repeats itself, first as tragedy then as farce, Obama has […]
It takes an increasingly strong stomach to follow current affairs any more, such is hypocrisy displayed by the people best positioned to influence them (Paul Ryan and his ‘Not who we are’ and ‘America is an idea!’ hectoring being a perfect example). Clockwise from top left:Samantha Power with John Kerry and Susan Rice, Power gesticulating […]
Nabra Hassanen in better days, protesting President Trump’s so-called travel ban at Dulles International Airport Much has been made of the recent murder of Nabra Hassanen and understandably so, given that she was by all accounts an attractive and vivacious teenager who met a truly horrifying end in the early hours of Sunday morning, June […]
Some time last year year I ran into, if not precisely a set-back in my faith life, at the very least an unexpected (and, frankly, unwanted) change; following what has been a trend in many Catholic parishes, my church cancelled it’s early AM Sunday Mass.

Now that Mario Renzi’s misguided Italian referendum has sunk to its inevitable ignominy, the French presidential election is the next major event on the global political scene so as a result Marine Le Pen has been in the news with increasing frequency lately. This is hardly a bad thing; from the right’s perspective, she’s possibly […]
Pope Francis and his unfortunate embrace of secularist multiculturalism tropes are nothing new – his recent visit to the US was a veritable jamboree of such sentimentally muddled rhetoric – so it should come as no surprise that, after the results of the American presidential race, he would weigh in yet again. And so he […]
It’s an article of faith in among our elites that diversity intrinsically improves all it touches, an attitude summarized quite well by no less of a personage than Mark Zuckerberg. “We believe the world is better when people from different backgrounds and with different ideas all have the power to share their thoughts and experiences,” Facebook’s […]
