Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Problematic Record
Leftists screaming and crying is hardly new. They’ve been doing it more-or-less non-stop for the last four years. Occasionally, they even set aside special occasions to get together for a communal hissy-fit, like their un-ironically named “Scream Helplessly at the Sky” (yes, they actually
Media Party Steps It Up For Dear Leader
Two headlines on Newshub on the same day, a few days after the first leaders’ debate (a debate the media is strangely claiming Ardern lost but Collins didn’t “win”). The first headline says “NZ Election 2020: Judith Collins’ claim 100 percent renewable electricity would increase power prices fact-checked

Cobras, Rats and Air Pollution: How the Government ‘Helps’
One of the most damaging conceits of socialists and big government enthusiasts is that the government, any government, has the ability to run a complex economy like a well-oiled machine. In reality, market forces are the consequences of millions, if not billions, of individuals making independent decisions. When bureaucrats
It’s Globalism Which Is Hurting Us, Not COVID-19
New Zealanders are dependent on and also obsessional about globalism. This is a bow with two particular strings, the first of which is international trade.

Writing in The Telegraph this week, he says that we must all now follow the
This Is What Grassroots Democracy Looks Like

Advance New Zealand Co-Leader Billy Te Kahika, who is contesting Labour Party Deputy Leader Kelvin Davis’s seat in the Te Tai Tokerau electorate, has already
Labour’s Achievement Claims vs Actuality
It is quite interesting to look on the Labour website at what they claim to have achieved in their policy areas versus what has actually happened. In very few cases do the claims stack up when matched with the reality. They have 190 headings on their website under achievements. This

How Scary Is the Wuhan Plague, Really?
From the moment the ruling Chinese Communist Party ordered a handful of inconveniently big-mouthed doctors in Wuhan silenced and then forced them to pen some good old communist “self-criticisms”, the Wuhan Plague has been marked by lies, bullshit and rampaging ignorance parading as “settled science”. China and the
The Insurance Won’t Cover That
We all know that Black Lives Matter is a barking mad conspiracy theory. Anyone with an ounce of critical thinking and access to some easily available statistics quickly realises that its entire narrative is completely at odds with reality. But nothing, perhaps, demonstrates the movement’s utter detachment from reality
Socialist Subversion
Thornton Blackmore While ushering in the Red Dawn downunder, the Prime Minister has sought to market her economic destruction of the nation on the basis of “kindness”. But genuine aroha is self-evident and defies imitation by even the shrewdest of politicians sporting an armament of public relations muscle, limitless
