Relativism doesn’t open the mind, it constricts it
In The Closing of the American Mind, published in 1987, Allan Bloom lamented that virtually all American college students believe that there is no absolute truth for all truth is relative. He goes on to comment that the only virtue left now is tolerance and that relativism has extinguished the real motive of education. With the declared goal of opening up the human mind, relativism has actually succeeded in constricting it. Perhaps we ought to begin with the simple and helpful distinction made by John North and Rob Forsyth. They distinguish between what they call ‘Beetroot truth’ (which you either like…
Multiculturalism and Modern Australia
Paris, Rome, Barcelona, Cairo, Vienna, St Petersberg, Venice, Rio de Janeiro. So many great cities. So many culturally identifiable features and attractions. That’s what makes the world fascinating, inspiring people to travel and experience the sights, sounds and atmosphere in each of these unique places. Australia, a vast land of desert, sun and surf. A climate as varied as the many different backgrounds of people now residing in her cities. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are quite the melting pots of cultures. A good thing, I hear many say. They bring a variety of foods, clothing and perspectives that broaden…

Asia Bibi, Pakistani Christian mother who escaped death row after being accused of blasphemy, safely arrives in Canada
Asia Bibi, the Pakistani Christian woman who spent years on death row after being accused of blasphemy, has safely arrived in Canada. Bibi, a mother of five, was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to hang after a neighbour accused her of insulting Muhammad during an argument in 2009. The disagreement came as Bibi and her neighbours were gathering fruit. The neighbours accused Bibi of using a cup and rendering it “unclean” according to their Islamic faith. After telling Bibi that she should convert to Islam, the women claim Bibi responded by making an offensive remark about Muhammad. According to reports,…
WATCH: Senator Penny Wong childishly refuses to shake hands with Liberal Senator
They say you can measure a person, not by the respect they show their allies, but rather, the respect they show their opponents. If that’s the case, then what are we to think of Penny Wong? Today Sky News shared a video of the moment the Labor Senator childishly refused to shake hands with Liberal Senator Simon Birmingham following the South Australia Press Club debate. Of course, if the situation was inverted there’d be national outrage. Accusations of racism, sexism, white supremacy, homophobia would be flying left, right and center. You can imagine the headlines now: “Straight, white, middle-aged man…
Israel Folau isn’t the only one falling victim to the vindictiveness of Leftists
Israel Folau isn’t alone in his struggle against the Leftist establishment and its newspeak. British Philosopher and Leftist turned conservative, Sir Roger Scruton lost his U.K Government role as Housing Adviser, after criticizing George Soros and asserting that Islamophobia was an attempt to control conversation by making any and all criticism of Islam or Muslims a social pathology. (The same is true with all these absurd, politicized -phobias.) There have also been calls for Scruton’s knighthood to be revoked. As Scruton and Muslim writer, Ismail Royer points out. [In the minds of the Muslim Brotherhood it’s] impossible for anyone to…

Pennsylvania State Representative and LGBTQ activist Brian Sims has offered $100 to anyone who will DOX the three young teenage girls he filmed quietly praying outside of a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic. “What we’ve got here is a bunch of protesters,” Sims told his followers during the live broadcast. “A bunch of pseudo-Christian protesters who’ve been out here shaming young girls for being here.” As he approached the teens, Sims turned his camera towards them and offered his 50k followers $100 if they could DOX the young girls. “I’ve got $100 to anyone who will identify any of these three.…

Israel Folau has been found guilty of a “high-level breach” of Rugby Australia’s code of conduct after posting a graphic on his Instagram account paraphrasing 1 Corinthians 6:9. The three-day Code of Conduct hearing wrapped up in Sydney today, although the three-person panel presiding over the hearing is yet to consider Folau’s punishment for his public display of Christianity. According to a statement from Rugby Australia: “The panel has today provided a judgment that Israel Folau committed a high-level breach of the Professional Players’ Code of Conduct with his social media posts on April 10, 2019. “The panel will now…

“All have sinned”: Facebook removes Christian sermon and suspends individual who shared it, “You posted hate speech”
Facebook has removed a link to a sermon and temporarily suspended the individual who shared it because, apparently, some Christian doctrines violate the platform’s community standards on “hate speech.” The 9-minute clip was taken from a message delivered by missionary and evangelist Paul Washer in which he detailed the biblical doctrine known as Total Depravity. The doctrine of Total Depravity deals with the state of humanity after sin entered the world (Gen. 3), and how every part of man — his mind, will, emotions, and flesh — have been corrupted by sin. At the close of the message, Washer says:…
The Toxic Paradox of Ilhan Omar’s Black Nationalism, Woke Blindness and the End of Days
In her last round of public appearances, Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.) blamed America for the suffering of Venezuelans, and managed to alienate the majority of Americans with the provocative statement, “this is not going to be the country of the xenophobics. This is not going to be the country of white people.” As Omar failed to clarify who she meant by the term “white people”, one can only presume that Omar was either loosely referring to those of Caucasian ethnicity, or more broadly, anyone who supports President Donald Trump. Since those on the far-Left consider anyone not living within…
Christians who express a biblical view of sexuality are to blame for kids committing suicide, Channel 9 panelist suggests
A former rugby league player has suggested that Christians, like Israel Folau, who express a biblical view of sexuality “can and do” push kids to commit suicide. Ian Roberts, an openly gay former rugby league player, appeared as a guest panelist on Channel Nine’s Sports Sunday, where he condemned Folau for posting a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 6:9 on his personal Instagram account. “I do feel sorry for Israel, but there are consequences for your actions and reactions, you know,” Roberts said. “And I don’t say this lightly, what I’m about to say, the language I use is hard and it’s for…
Captain Marvel’s Brie Larson demands more diversity in Hollywood, so fans create a petition to have her replaced with a gay woman of color
Captain Marvel star Brie Larson originally made headlines when she was announced as Marvel’s first female superhero to feature in her own solo film. Captain Marvel grossed over $1-billion in earnings, making it the seventh Marvel feature to reach over a billion dollars at the box office. With the spotlight fixed on Larson, the 29-year-old actress took the opportunity to draw attention to the apparent oppression of women in the film industry, suggesting females aren’t granted the same opportunities as men. According to Larson, not only were the overwhelming majority of critics reviewing movies male, but they were also mostly…
President Trump to big tech: We are now monitoring YOU… You have no idea the problems you’re causing for yourself
President Trump issued something of a warning yesterday in telling big tech social media platforms they’re now being watched closely by his administration. “I am continuing to monitor the censorship of AMERICAN CITIZENS on social media platforms,” the President tweeted. “This is the United States of America — and we have what’s known as FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

WATCH: Children at Philadelphia Muslim Society say: “We will sacrifice ourselves… We will chop off their heads… and subject them to eternal torture”
Footage uploaded to social media last month reportedly shows a group of children from a Pennsylvania Islamic Centre singing and citing poetry praising the “martyrs” who sacrificed their lives for Palestine. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the video, depicting the centre’s “Ummah Day” celebrations, was originally shared on Facebook by the Muslim American Society in Philadelphia. “Glorious steeds call us and lead us [to] Al-Aqsa Mosque,” the translation reads. “The blood of martyrs protects us… Take us, oh ships… until we reach our shores and crush the treacherous ones… Flow, oh rivers of martyrs!” “We will defend…

Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D) has told WVTM13 that Donald Trump Jr is “proof that mothers ought to have the right to have an abortion because he is evidently retarded or crazy.” Rogers’ remarks come after Trump Jr condemned the state representative for saying, “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them to the electric chair. So, you kill them now or you kill them later.” Alabama State Rep. John Rogers (D) on abortion: “Some kids are unwanted, so you kill them…
PURGED: Facebook bans Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, and Milo Yiannopoulos, conservatives call on Trump
Facebook overlords snapped their fingers today, and just like that, purged their platform of political and social commentators Paul Joseph Watson, Laura Loomer, and Milo Yiannopoulos among others. The social media giant announced the permanent suspension of the “dangerous individuals” for violating the company’s policies on hate speech and promoting violence. “We’ve always banned individuals or organisations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology,” a Facebook spokesperson said. “The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today.” Following his deletion, Paul Joseph Watson…
Is there more to existence than just the physical world? Fascinating video looks at the spiritual realm and its impacts on earth.
We live in a society that often pretends there’s nothing more to reality than the physical stuff we’re made of. Apart from the fact that this notion can’t be rationally sustained, we hardly ever practically live it out in the real world. For instance, we all get angry when people do “evil” or “unjust” things. But what are these concepts in a purely material universe bound by the fixed laws of chemistry? Concepts such as “evil” and “injustice” cannot exist. They can’t exist because what happens in a purely material world, can only ever be the result of purely material…
WATCH: Asian tourists assaulted by thugs for wearing MAGA hats
A short video has been uploaded to social media which shows a group of black men assaulting Asian tourists for wearing MAGA hats. The 15-second clip begins with one of the thugs verbally abusing the visibly stunned group of tourists. It appears the thugs may have removed one or two of their hats before they decided to capture the rest of the assault on camera. As the group of tourists attempt to cross to the other side of the street, one of the thugs approaches from behind, rips the hat from a man’s head and tosses it into the air.…
