Just Have a Cow, Man

If I was throwing a dinner party and had to choose between inviting a hardcore Amway enthusiast and a vegan, well, just sign me up for a fun evening learning how to earn extra income. Amway are notorious for the cult-like evangelism of their members, whose persistence would shame a

Just When you Thought it Couldn’t get any Creepier

Self-identification, an idée fixe with trans activists, is the idea that anyone can legally change their sex on a whim. No surgery, no psychiatric evaluation: nothing but a simple form to fill in, and voilà, any man is legally a woman, with legally protected access to women’s spaces like

Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to the appellation. George Washington This piece of

Oh, No She Didn’t! The Dumbest Race Hate Hoax yet

Oh, No She Didn’t! The Dumbest Race Hate Hoax yet

The United States has been plagued with a tsunami of fake “hate-crimes” of late because actual racism is apparently so rare in Trumpian America that demand has far outstripped supply. Tired of waiting for depressingly non-racist whites to oppress them, eager, non-white wannabe-victims are having to outsource “race attacks” to

Slipping the Surly Bonds of Wokeness

I recently wrote that the Apollo space program would probably have no chance of succeeding today. Looking back at the green-left campaign to pre-empt the (as it turned out) stunningly successful Cassini program, I wrote that the whole program today would be run through the wringer of intersectionality: it would

Doughnuts, Decadence & Dodgy Dudes

Doughnuts, Decadence & Dodgy Dudes

It all started this morning when I went to my local bakery to buy my decadent monthly treat. It ended up being about dodgy dudes. My decadent indulgence is a big cream stick doughnut, with lashings of homemade strawberry jam and enough cream to drown out any guilt that I

Information Satire Legislation has been rushed through the house as a result of the horrific incident in Upper Hutt over the weekend.  A new road roller (or steamroller as the media affectionately calls them) register will be established. The roller buy-back scheme will be targeted at semi-automatic, self-propelled machines and

This Socialist Government Is Responsible for Class-based Healthcare

A close friend was diagnosed some years ago with HER2 positive breast cancer which has a high risk of recurrence. At the time, Herceptin was not government-funded, but without it, her probability of survival dropped dramatically.  Unsurprisingly, she added a mortgage and fundraised most of the $130K for the Herceptin

Why Does Joseph Stalin Matter?

Why Does Joseph Stalin Matter?

This video (46mins) is interesting for the obvious parallels with the current NZ Prime Minister. The explanation of why Stalin needed to collectivise the farms has its parallels with Jacinda Ardern’s recent overriding of property rights at Ihumatao.  There are other clues to what our PM might try to
