How the Long March Left are Erasing the Enlightment
As I wrote recently, it’s a grave mistake to write off the erudite circle-jerking of academics as nothing more than ivory-tower nuttiness. Eventually, the nonsense that’s passed off as “scholarship” filters down to the real world, with often devastating consequences. Marxism especially has been a font of truly
Education is Different from Knowledge.
My mother used to walk ‘across the fields’, in all weathers to go to school at 5 years of age early in the 20th century. Granddad couldn’t read or write. I think Grandma could, but as I only knew both of them briefly I am not sure. I was
Old People Matter
Patriot Realm By Shaydee Lane I read an article on Australian media this morning about an older Australian in Broome in a ‘home’. This person had maggots in the mouth. Yes, maggots. Crawling, inside the mouth. Creeping out through the lips and this elderly person lay, unable to do a

This is how School Children should save the Environment!
Riddle me this. Which teenager does more to save New Zealand’s environment? The one that skips school for a week while waving a protest sign made from plastic or the one that shoots ten possums with a twenty-two rifle? Possums are pests in New Zealand and kill millions of
Labour’s ‘Transparency Drive’ Falters
