There is a practice in the affairs of government as old as government itself: diversion politics. When a political leader is under scrutiny for missteps or failed leadership, it is a good time to create a distraction.

Believe in Believers

Those of us committed to fighting back against the ‘woke’ must come to terms with the fact that only Christianity is potent enough to defeat the cult of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Non-believers need not convert, but it is time for us to get out of the way.

Stabbing innocent people is not cowardice; cowardice is sacrificing the nation’s children, rather than face the reality of your own lunatic immigration policies.

Spain’s Turn To the Right

Spain’s administrative elections signify that the electorate has totally rejected Pedro Sánchez and his socialist government.

Defending Faith from Fear

During COVID, Western nations did the unthinkable by banning religious gatherings and services. Many states deemed ‘inessential’ what all believers consider most essential: the act of gathering together to worship God.

The America Report: Another Hat in the Ring

Liz Cheney will not be able to navigate an entire presidential campaign without at some point deciding if she wants to protect women or those who think they are women.

Conferencing With ‘Stop Brexit’ Bray and Co.

Their arguments on Brexit are, after more than half a decade, tired; but I would struggle to argue that some of the points being repeated over and over inside the conference were any less spent.

Ten Principles of Conservative Activism

Ten Principles of Conservative Activism

Church of England: No Definition of ‘Woman’

From Universalism to Racialism: Macron’s Most Recent U-Turn on Education

From Universalism to Racialism: Macron’s Most Recent U-Turn on Education

By sacking one of his best generals and replacing him with a ‘woke chic’ scholar when the country is already suffering from racial tensions, Macron gives the unsettling impression that France’s decadence is a settled issue.

Why the West Refuses to Control its Borders

Why the West Refuses to Control its Borders

Political theory has been reduced to a Manichean choice: either universalist human rights liberalism, shorn of any particular attachments (except during the Olympics) or expansionary, genocidal, blood and soil nationalism.

Spain’s Geopolitical Subordinationism:
Reflections on the NATO Summit in Madrid

Strong U.S.-Moroccan relations make it difficult for Spain to gain clear assurances from NATO concerning the security of its north African territories. Insofar as these continue to be treated as a bargaining chip, subject to Morocco’s discretion, Spanish political elites are likely to offer concessions in other areas.
