Wealthy Socialist Just Can’t Figure Out How He Keeps Ending Up in First Class
How he keeps enjoying the privileges of the elite is a complete mystery that clearly has fossilised communist Bernie Sanders worried. After all, he’s a socialist who’s lived off the taxpayer all his life, yet somehow he has ended up being a multimillionaire who owns three houses. Even
Some Rotten Green Apples in Tasmania
If you were to believe the green movement’s propaganda, they are the only squeaky-clean troupe of ideologically pure, selfless servants of the people in the entire Australian polity. Graft, corruption, secrecy, dirty politics…there’s none of that kind of goblin mischief going on, down in Fairy Dell. The
Farmers Hit Back at Bureaucrats, Greens Over Bushfires

Politicians Are Quick to Act When It’s Their Arses on Fire
The arse-covering and blame-shifting in the wake of Australia’s catastrophic summer continues with unseemly haste.

Now, politicians and
Red Cross Robbery: Why I Stopped Donating to Charity
… and will never do so again. There were a couple of reasons why I stopped donating. The first was because so many charities are effectively political activists these days. If I donate to a cause, I want the money to go to that cause, not to political advertising or activism.
Activists Arrested for Allegedly Starting Fires
The Legacy media long ago abandoned rigorous truth-telling, in favour of peddling influence and “narratives”. The Legacy media too often don’t report the news any more, they try and make it. A case in point was the “Amazon is burning” propaganda avalanche, late last year. Never mind that the
