For those of us waiting patiently for Jacinda Ardern to de-laminate and fall apart at the seams, this week has seen the Prime Minister ticking yet another “walk on water” box. Just when we begin to see the writing on the wall, as this disastrous government of imbeciles stumbles from
The dramatic salivations by the MSM over New Zealand First Foundation revelations are nothing more than a storm in a teacup. While it might be argued that it’s morally corrupt and inappropriate and unacceptable and deceitful or even fraudulent, the ultimate outcome will be that there’s nothing illegal
I’ve never been a supporter of polls nor do I place too much credibility in them these days especially given the grief people get for admitting what they believe in – if it happens not to coincide with what the masses want you to believe in. Of course, many of
Donald Trump has caused such massive brain explosions for the self-proclaimed American ruling elite that they have lost all sense of reason and are walking themselves into high-revving chainsaws. Many will not emerge in once piece, and those who do will be terminally wounded. The MSM is aiding and abetting
Donald Trump is his own worst enemy. He has a way of expressing things that sometimes makes people squirm. If he could just zip it occasionally, he’d make his own life much easier. But that is not who he is. He is larger than life and let’s face
I wrote a post on Saturday commenting on yet another school shooting in the USA and roxypiper commented: “Pinker tells us (and demonstrates in Better Angels of Our Nature) that the world is actually becoming less violent. The USA is however acknowledged as being an ‘outlier’ in the data.” Which
This time it was Santa Clarita, third-largest city in Los Angeles county. The victims aged between 14 and 16. The perpetrator had just turned 16 – it was his birthday. Before school started as students gathered in a quadrangle, he pulled a semi-automatic .45 calibre handgun from his back pack and
Once upon a time (around 1984 I think), a typical everyday garden variety Aussie named Dennis Bryant, who wasn’t an altogether dreadful country music singer, decided to turn his hand to a bit of politically incorrect comedy. He renamed himself Kevin Wilson, added a “bloody” between the Kevin and
At the end of October I wrote a post posing the question: https://thebfd.co.nz/2019/10/tick-legalisation-of-cannabis-tick-approval-of-bad-behaviour/ In that post, I commented: “Blurred boundaries inevitably change attitudes and are often the thin end of the wedge. The argument that because many people already choose to use cannabis, therefore
When two of the world’s major democracies seem unable to implement the most basic of democratic processes, you can only wonder at what the future might hold for the rest of the world. The people of the UK chose, in a free election process, to leave the European Union.
In the 1980s Winston Peters talked about New Zealand beginning to look like an Asian colony and, with China being the major contributor to our immigration, followed closely by India, could it be that his words were, heaven forbid, prophetic? There has to be considerable food for thought around immigration.
Given that we’re in the midst of a Climate Emergency, Indians are demanding to bring their entire villages here and Christopher Luxon has been selected to stand for Botany, I couldn’t help wondering where the “Stuffed” headline came from. I must have been living under a rock somewhere
I know very little about Christopher Luxon. I didn’t follow his career when he was at Air New Zealand because he was of no interest to me. I started to take notice when it was mooted that he was going to parachute into Botany though. That makes him a
I freely admit that by definition, I am one of those ‘stale white males’ we hear so much about these days. I also freely admit that I find the terminology, the title, the definition and the maliciousness of it, highly offensive. I’m sick to death of being blamed for
Imagine this picture. It’s November 5th and you’re sitting on the deck after a barbecue and a couple of beers. The neighbourhood is echoing to loud bangs and explosions and some spectacular bright lights from colourful fireworks light up the night sky. You didn’t invest a couple
It all started over a tightening up of how partnership visas are managed when it involves arranged marriages. It seems that immigration officials may have been seen to be taking too soft a line on it and somebody senior suggested they need to tighten up and adhere to the letter
