In Vino Veritas – Or, Whatever It Takes to Get the Truth Out of Such a Crew

Spiked
May 4, 2026

Winston Churchill drank his way to saving the world from Nazism and, according to Alec Marsh in Spiked, the old bulldog would fit right in with certain current Parliamentarians enjoying a tipple to endure late-night sittings in Westminster. ā€œWell, why not?ā€ Marsh asks. ā€œPoliticians wouldn’t be human if they didn’t.ā€ This news doesn’t, however, sit well with certain neo-puritan scolds from – you guessed it – the Green Party, which on the other hand does support providing free narcotics to welfare recipients.

How Many Left-Wing Politicians Have Been Shot Lately?

It is as irritating as it is false, writes John Daniel Davidson in The Federalist, to hear ā€œcorporate media and [the] political establishment calling for calm, for unity, for lowering the temperature,ā€ after the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. It’s not a ā€œboth sidesā€ problem, Davidson states. ā€œThere is only one side in America today that has a persistent and very real-world problem with political violence.ā€

An Engineered Crisis: ā€œDemographic Winterā€

The world’s population is likely to crest sooner and lower than previously forecast and, asserts Javier Villamor in The European Conservative, the very population control measures (like abortion and birth control) once aimed at reining in out-of-control growth now are likely contributing to something worse: the ā€œdemographic winterā€. With birth rates plunging below bare replacement in countries all over the world, a true cataclysm may await.

Javier Milei Makes Fools of the ā€œExpertsā€

As it began looking like Javier Milei might actually be elected President of Argentina, more than 100 leading international economists warned that this ā€œfar-rightā€ political ā€œwrecking ballā€ would ā€œcause ā€˜devastation,’ spike inflation, expand poverty, and unemployment.ā€ But as David Harsanyi relates in the Washington Examiner, Milei has tamed inflation, balanced the budget, shrunk the bureaucracy, deregulated the economy, driven down poverty and repaid billions in U.S. loans. And now, Harsanyi notes, Argentina is starting to boom.

Beware the Subversive Sexbots

Compounding problems of increasing social isolation, disintegrating family life and declining fertility is a new threat: the fusion of AI with sex dolls to create at-once ultra-realistic and emotionally empty ā€œAI companionsā€ intended to substitute for real human intimacy. It’s a formula that can – and already does – kill, warn Tim Rosenberger and Vilda Westh Blanc in City Journal. Not surprisingly, teen-agers are most vulnerable to the allure of quick and seemingly consequence-free gratification. In fact, warn the authors, it can be a path straight to suicide.
