Trump - Not Business as Usual in Asia

Here is a piece I wrote at the end of March and which was published in the May edition of Quadrant magazine. A little prescient if I say so myself: http://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2018/05/trump-dumped-business-usual-asia/

I have just watched the programme on Domestic Violence - the most useful 15 minutes of television watching I have done in a long time. You can catch the whole series on iView.

Bernard Lewis' Dangerous Creed of Freedom

Bernard Lewis has, sadly, died at the age of 101. Quadrant Online has reprised my 2012 article on Lewis' wonderful memoir: https://quadrant.org.au/magazine/2012/10/bernard-lewis-and-the-dangerous-creed-of-freedom/  

Ben Shapiro on Gaza

Here is Shapiro explaining what the mainstream media mostly refuses to do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uqc3PaeJqng

The PC brigade were not so as sanguine about John McCain when he ran against their candidate in 2008: https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/make-believe-maverick-20081016

Of course, the sentiment towards McCain in the MSM changed when McCain became a #NeverTrump kind of guy, and now the progressive MSM wants to persuade us that they always respected the 2008 Republican presidential nominee. Maybe it is not the Trumpists who have a consistency problem with the man progressives once called a "make believe maverick": https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2018/5/11/17345060/trump-mccain-2016-2018-right-wing
