Reverse Racism Benefits No One
I have believed for a long time that the problems concerning Maori are brought about as a result of this country operating under a system of reverse racism. There are some who will regard that statement as nothing short of blasphemy. I would remind them that the truth often hurts.

The Part-time PM’s Henchmen
Oh boy. The term #ParttimePM really has struck a nerve. You know that when Jacinda’s henchmen come out in her defence almost immediately.

By John I have just been watching some videos on YouTube featuring a lady by the name of Candace Owens. I first came across her some time ago but she has since slipped my mind. Absolutely awesome is not too strong a description of this thirty-year-old from America’
‘Wellington Leadership Officially Brain-dead’
It behoves me to confirm what many suspected already: Wellington’s ‘leadership’ gaggle of Trotskyites, Bolsheviks, and silly children are all officially brain-dead. This confirmation came in today’s news when announcing that previous, and suitably ridiculous, ‘optimistic’ estimates of probable sea-level rise of 60cm per century (triple
