When the Left Stormed Australia’s Parliament

If the self-righteous pearl-clutching of the American media over the riot in Washington were odious enough, the sniffing and tutting of the local left-media – not to mention the maiden-aunt conservatives – in Australia is even worse.

Trouble in Swampiland

The UN has announced that it is sending a peacekeeping force to the tiny nation of Swampiland, in order to oversee fresh elections and to stop the chaos engulfing the developing nation from descending into full-blown civil war.

The Lies of Black Lives Matter

They Can’t Handle You Knowing the Truth. Black Lives Matter is the biggest, dumbest, most vicious conspiracy theory since the Tsarist secret police faked up the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Its entire narrative is, as Jim Goad writes, “moored in lies and rampaging innumeracy”. It’s paramount, of course, to distinguish at the outset …

The Trump Doctrine and the Opportunity of the 21st Century

2020 Will Potentially Set the Template for the 21st Century. Subjecting myself to the ordeal of listening to Australia’s taxpayer-funded leftist propaganda network ABC radio, some time ago, I listened with mixed bemusement and exasperation as their “foreign policy expert” whined that Trump was upsetting the established world order. “That’s the whole point, you idiot!” …

Time to Stop Laughing at Sleepy Joe

In the three weeks since this article was first published, the Democrats have made their choice. Sanders' presidential hopes are over. The Dems obviously weren't prepared to be crazy-brave. Remember when the left-media were wall-to-wall mocking of candidate Donald Trump in 2016? Worst, of course, were the late-night “comedians” (so-called). Whether it was John Oliver …

Are we Read to Stop Giggling at Mayor Pete’s Butt yet?

Is America ready for this? Should it matter? A Devil's Curmugdeon. Pic: Robert Franklin. Well, a week is a long time in politics, and since this was first public, Buttigieg has quit the presidential race (no doubt to the disgruntlement of all those journalists who struggled so hard to learn how to pronounce his name). …

Bad Orange Man Cheats the Left Again – and Rewrites the Rulebook

The NPCs are Angry Because the Bad Orange Man is NOT a Warmonger. A Devil's Curmudgeon. Imagine if the left demanded a war and Trump didn’t come? It’s not quite what happened last month, but it’s near enough. While the Trump-deranged left stopped short of actually demanding a war with Iran, it was plain that …

Is America Really on the Verge of Civil War?

The American left have never been able to reconcile themselves to losing the 2016 presidential election. Having quickly moved past denial, they’ve become permanently lost in the second stage of grief: anger. Such violent and unrelenting anger, in fact, that many, on both sides of politics, have been moved to wonder if America stands on …

Of Curmudgeonly Interest – 23 September 2017

Oops. It's been a while since I've done one of these. In fact, I've been unforgivably slack with the blog, I know. I have been busy, writing regularly. I'll update with some of my recent articles over the next few days.

Just two items for this week, and very long ones, but well worth your time. Do read on ...
