The Most Fraudulent Government I Can Remember

The Most Fraudulent Government I Can Remember

By John I enjoyed reading Matthew Hooton’s article posted by Christie. Like Christie always does, Matthew nails it. Personally, I would go so far as to say that this would have to be the most fraudulent government I can remember, and I can remember back to  Arnold Nordmeyer’s

A reader was curious about Kiwibuild at Pegasus in North Canterbury so went for a drive to check it out and he has shared his observations and photos with us. It is obvious from the photos that a metre of the section down either side of the home is the

The PM’s Strange Aussie Trip

The PM’s Strange Aussie Trip

The first thing strange about Jacinda Ardern’s trip was that she flew to Australia in an Air Force plane instead of taking a commercial flight. We were told it was because in her opinion it was more economical and left a better carbon footprint. Apparently, it had nothing to

Why Are the Left So Antisemitic?

Why Are the Left So Antisemitic?

When Donald Trump was elected in 2016, the political left wasted no time gibbering about a “return to the 1930s”. In one sense, they were right: for the first time since the 1930s, black-masked paramilitaries are enacting a reign of violent terror in the streets. Even worse, anti-Semitism is on

The Mark of the Beast

The Mark of the Beast
