The Latest Hunter Biden News the MSM Won’t Tell You

There’s a reason high-profile independent journalist Tim Poole calls Democrat voters in the US “low information”. Democrats almost exclusively rely on media like CNN and MSNBC, both of which knowingly peddled the “Russiagate” lie. Worse, even more of them rely on social media like “Occupy Democrats”, the single

The Big Secrets Hidden in Albo’s Budget

The Anthony Albanese government has handed down its first budget, and it’s a shocker. Even Labor’s taxpayer-funded media wing, the ABC, concedes that “The poor will pay” while “the rich […] will do fine”. Grabbing particular headlines is Labor’s turn-around on power prices: after promising no

Aotearoa Breaks All the Rules

Information Opinion As I have mentioned on numerous occasions to you, dear reader, I am a great student of Macchiavelli. His “rules” set out in The Prince are like Adam Smith’s rules in The Wealth Of Nations: absolutes which you ignore at your peril. Just as 2+2=4
