Every time I visit the shores of Foggy Albion, I am struck by how depressed and broken the whole place seems. It is dingy, […]

Nonetheless, with the latest spate of riots and protests concerning the conduct […]

Basically, the FUSA has dropped any and all pretence […]

This one is much more rooted in contemporary politics and modern issues, rather than explorations of Scripture. We covered a very wide range of topics, from vaccine compliance, to political censorship in the West. to the assassination […]

This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of “New Year’s Resolutions”, and instead focus on building life-affirming, results-building, course-sustaining habits that get us to our chosen destinations. I lay […]

That is not hyperbole when you understand the consequences of what the unelected, unaccountable, incompetent, and blindingly stupid bureaucrats of the EU did. I write, of course, of the decision by the European Union’s COREPER […]

He does an excellent job of pointing out just how bad things really are in his country. For those who have not had the […]

We can hardly be blamed for this, given how absurd the whole thing is.
