Mark Latham: ‘Class warfare has been replaced by identity warfare.’
I worry that Australia is sleepwalking its way to disaster. Political correctness, identity politics and cultural Marxism have run through our institutions at an astonishing rate. Sometimes I’m asked why I wasn’t saying these things when I was leader of the Labor Party in 2004. The answer is straightforward: none of these issues were current 14 years ago. They simply didn’t exist. Australian politics has been through a remarkable period of change. Prior to the election of the Rudd Government in 2007, the budget was in surplus, our electricity supply was stable and affordable, political correctness had disappeared and only…
WATCH: Leftist tells female reporter: ‘I could throw you on the g-ddamn ground and rape you, because I have rights!’ Feminists come to HIS defense.
A protester outside a Pennsylvania Trump rally has told a female reporter that he could throw her to the ground and rape her if he wanted because he has “rights.” Kaitlin Bennett, director of Liberty Hangouts, was conducting an interview with the man when he reached out and touched her shoulder. When Bennett asked the man not to touch her, the man responded, “I want to touch you… I’m allowed to.” At that point a bystander quickly stepped in and told the man he was not allowed to touch her. “Yes I am,” the protester retorted. “I can throw her…
Ford Vs. Kavanaugh: The Attempted Hijacking of Justice?
Judgement based on raw emotion is the reason for why we have due process and habeas corpus. This system is not without flaws, but erasing due process is equal to denying the right of habeas corpus. If that happens then everyone is bound; subjected to the whim of the mob or the mood of the ruler. Due process is as important as habeas corpus. Habeas corpus being ‘the removal of illegal restraint on individual liberty.’ (Burke) Any removal, or denial of due process, would easily lead to the same thing happening to habeas corpus. Conclusions based on raw emotions about…
The confessing church is a church of martyrs.
The word martyr [μάρτυς] means to ‘bear witness’, this is derived from the word marturion [μαρτύριον] which is understood to mean evidence testimony; witness; to be testified. The word martyr is also connected to martyromai [μαρτύρομαι] ‘I am urging; I am bearing witness; I am declaring; I am insisting.’ Along with a lot of His colleagues, family and friends – of whom one was Karl Barth and the other Martin Niemöller, Bonhoeffer fits the profile of declaring; bearing witness; insisting. He was a martyr. Today, fascist theory might only exist in fringe elements of society, but the style of political activism employed by the Nazi’s isn’t. Rhetoric and labels offer…
Review: Amazon Prime’s, ‘Jack Ryan’, The Rebranding & Forced Conversion of An American Patriot.
Amazon’s ‘Jack Ryan’ is a fresh creative take on Tom Clancy’s, ‘Jack Ryan’ brand. The story has a standard structure. The plot is revealed as characters move from one crisis to the next. Each episode adds to the next, leading to the narrative’s conclusion. Casting was on point. Actor John Krasinski (Jack Ryan) plays alongside Australian actress, Abbie Cornish (Doctor Cathy Mueller who takes up a “casual” romantic relationship with Ryan). Wendell Pierce (Robert Zane in ‘Suits’) plays the role of James Greer. All three add to the series and its fresh creative take on Tom Clancy’s, ‘Jack Ryan’ brand. Amazon has been consistent in the temperaments…
Candace Owens challenges Captain America’s Chris Evans to debate: ‘He basically called Kanye a dumb n*gger.’
Candace Owens has challenged Chris Evans to a debate after the Captain America star suggested Kayne West’s support of President Trump was essentially due to a lack of education. “There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue,” Evans tweeted on Monday. “The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just frustrating, it’s retrogressive, unprecedented and absolutely terrifying.” There’s nothing more maddening than debating someone who doesn’t know history, doesn’t read books, and frames their myopia as virtue. The level of unapologetic conjecture I’ve encountered lately isn’t just…
At what point do you become an Australian?
A few weeks back, reacting to the maiden speech by Katter’s Australia Party senator, Fraser Anning, who broadly (and in some areas of his speech, recklessly) called for a review of Australia’s immigration policies, Australian senator, Lucy Gichuhi, (who was born in Kenya) asked the question: “At what point do you become an Australian?” Lucy’s answer was, “…when I get a citizenship paper! Full stop! Period! Finished!” I follow Senator Gichuhi’s political posts. I supported Senator Bob Day, of the Family First party, passing his position over to her after his election win was declared invalid because of a candidacy conflict with the Constitution. I…

MasterCard shuts down Robert Spencer’s Patreon account, offers no explanation.
Robert Spencer, best selling author and director of Jihad Watch, has had his Patreon account disabled. Mr Spencer sent out a Tweet earlier today explaining: “I’ve been axed from Patreon, without explanation, warning or notice — no doubt as part of the ongoing efforts of the Left to deny all platforms to those who reject its agenda.” I've been axed from Patreon, without explanation, warning or notice — no doubt as part of the ongoing efforts of the Left to deny all platforms to those who reject its agenda.

Alex Jones banned from Twitter after posting a video about censorship on social media.
Alex Jones has copped a seven day ban on Twitter for sharing a video about censorship on social media.

The Tweet that reportedly got Gavin McInnes permanently banned from Twitter.
In yet another wave of political censorship, Gavin McInnes and his organisation Proud Boys have been permanently banned from Twitter. The accounts were shut down for violating the company’s policies prohibiting violent extremist groups, a Twitter spokesperson told Buzzfeed. According to Breitbart, “the left-leaning magazine Variety drew a link between the bans and the upcoming Unite The Right 2 rally in Washington D.C., organized by alt-right activists. Yet both McInnes and the Proud Boys have disavowed the alt-right.” OAN correspondent Jack Posobiec shared a screenshot of a Tweet McInnes sent just prior to his deletion. “It goes without saying,” McInnes…
Facebook and other tech giants permanently BAN InfoWars in what has been dubbed the Great Censorship Purge.
The Great Censorship Purge has begun. Facebook has permanently banned InfoWars for the broad and ambiguous crime of ‘hate speech.’ Apple also reportedly wiped iTunes and its podcasting app clean of content by Alex Jones, following similar moves by Youtube and Spotify. “It’s a coordinated purge,” Paul Joseph Watson said. “This is a total abuse of power.” “Whether you love or loathe Infowars, this now confirms that Big Tech is working with legacy media to silence independent media. In places like Russia, the government shuts down the press, in America, CNN, Apple and Facebook fulfill that role.” Watson revealed Facebook…

Owens and Kirk, from Turning Point USA, were attempting to eat breakfast at the Green Eggs Café when the mob started hurling abuse, blowing whistles and even dumping a bottle of water on Kirk.

WATCH: Whoopi Goldberg hysterical after guest calls her hysterical, later apologizes, ‘I don’t like being accused of being hysterical.’
Trump derangement syndrome at it’s finest. Whoopi Goldberg co-host of ABC’s The View has let loose on guest Judge Jeanine Pirro on-air, but the exchange didn’t end there. According to Pirro, “I went on thinking that we would have a discussion about the book. The truth is, that it was an attack on Donald Trump, and then on me. I sat there as Whoopi Goldberg pontificated about how horrible Donald Trump was and at one point I said ‘you know I’m here to talk about the book’ and then she went ballistic – ended the segment.” Pirro went on to…
Facebook is changing: ‘We’re taking action’ against ‘fake news’
Facebook is changing. The popular social media platform have said they’ve been too focused on the positives of Facebook, and as a result they’ve not paid enough attention to the negatives, like the propagation of fake news. It’s time to “take action” against fake news, the Facebook website states. “Fake news is bad for people and bad for Facebook. It has long been a tool for economic or political gains, and we’re seeing new ways its taking shape online.” We’re making significant investments to stop fake news from spreading and to promote high-quality journalism and news literacy. The Facebook strategy…

Watch: New GOP Ad Exposes the ‘Unhinged’ Left
On Tuesday the GOP released a new campaign ad highlighting the calls to violence and the vile hatred that is spewing from the Left. “Maxine Waters’ threats are just the latest example of the Left becoming totally unhinged. It has to stop,” the GOP official Twitter account said. During a rally over the weekend, Waters called for her supporters to form mobs and harass President Trump’s Cabinet officials whenever they’re spotted in public. Whether they’re “in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station.. tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters said. Watch:
