New Study Reveals Covid Lockdowns Will Cost More Lives Than They Save

A recent paper that examined over 100 COVID-19 studies has revealed that government-mandated lockdowns fail any reasonable cost/benefit analysis by a significant ratio.

The Case for Vaccine Passports is Feeble and Fading

The arguments given by those supporting vaccine passports sound impressive, but do they really hold water? Last week I wrote 5 Reasons Why Vaccine Passports are an Ethical Disaster.

Have Our Leaders Let Power Get to Their Heads?

Those of us who live in Western nations are incredibly blessed. “The rule of law” is a principle that has long protected us from tyranny.

Rather, we are governed by a Constitution — an irrevocable law that can only be amended by… Read More Have Our Leaders Let Power Get to Their Heads?

The Case for Christians to Find Their Political Voice

An excerpt from Cross and Culture: Can Jesus Save the West? Conventional wisdom today says that people are entitled to their religious beliefs, so long as they keep these views out of politics.

Could Voter Fraud Swing Australian Elections?

The issue of election fraud faced intense scrutiny following the 2020 United States’ presidential election. Though Donald Trump was unsuccessful in proving his now infamous allegations, some polls indicate that half of American voters remain suspicious that voter fraud helped Joe Biden to victory.

Media Backflip: Wuhan Lab Leak No Longer a ‘Conspiracy Theory’

Beginning in early 2020, the corporate media was at pains to label as a ‘conspiracy theory’ the possibility that Covid-19 was leaked from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.
