In my latest National Post column I describe the weird combination of tedium and fury induced by listening to members of the UN special committee for blaming Israel for all problems in the Mideast droning on.
“The U.S. has to decide whether its priority is to help Ukraine retain territory or worry about Putin. Fear of escalation is what the Kremlin has deliberately inculcated and which some European leaders have tacitly endorsed. As Matthew Kaminski stated in Politico, ‘The West has been better at deterring itself than at deterring Russia.’”

In my latest Loonie Politics column I say we need to face the fact, and the implications, of large-scale pro-Hamas demonstrations in Canada and other Western nations by recent immigrants from places where horrific anti-Semitism is routine.
“One can say that, had Mirabeau lived, the History of France and of the World had been different.”

In my latest National Post column I say the best way to get universities to stop promoting malevolent radicalism and start teaching again, and to promote actual social justice as well, is to privatize them and see what kind of education the young adults who will supposedly benefit from it are actually willing to pay full price for.
In 1922 Chesterton in London “gave another talk on Socialism where he said his primary objection to socialism was that ‘it would be a dictatorship, with a tyranny of officials in every department of life.’”
“100 Years Ago” in Gilbert The Magazine of the Society of G.K. Chesterton Vol. 25 #2 (Nov.-Dec. 2021) [and if Chesterton, a Christian apologist and fiction writer, could see it so clearly, why couldn’t politicians, pundits and professors?]
In my latest Loonie Politics column I say much of the left was caught offside on Hamas because ideas have consequences and they have embraced ones that lead to terrible places.
In my latest Epoch Times column I say the latest attack on Israel exposes Hamas starkly as an offence against man and God … along with anyone that supports or excuses it, Islamic Jihad or any such genocidal antisemitic organization or government.
