Among my lesser achievements, one I can now notch up on my resume is that I once had a lengthy Facebook argument with an American presidential candidate. This was long before Trump started getting into Twitter fights, so I lay claim that my online barney with a presidential hopeful was
Too Right A regular column by John Black The Black Sheep Blog Rightminds Kamala Harris is the perfect anti-Trump candidate – a photo negative inversion of the Don. In fact, if they ever meet, the universe may implode such is their perfect cosmic opposition. Trust me, its physics. She’s
Trump advisor John Bolton has issued a clear warning to the Palestinian leadership this week. He has made it crystal clear that they can continue funding terrorists and their families or they can have American funds. They can’t have both. […] Stop funding terror or there will be no U.
Before the first Democratic party debate, an American friend of mine wrote on social media that he could hardly wait. Who will champion freeloading as a way of life? Who will champion murdering helpless babies? Who will champion the anti-Trumpers? Who will claim to be the least racist? As
Why, oh why does this woman not stay out of the spotlight? She appears to be a walking disaster area with her comments and actions. Newly uncovered photos from the border protest attended by a tearful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez show that she was crying over an empty parking lot. Many
A very interesting discussion. (The interview runs for an hour.) While the first part discusses the fake dossier, AG Barr etc, the middle to end discusses political aspects of conservatism and liberal philosophy. Many of the ideas discussed have direct parallels to what we see in NZ. There is a

While world leaders gather to remember D-Day of 75 years ago, the Allies are so deeply divided it’s hard to think them capable of reaching a consensus before a war was concluded. Before President Donald Trump arrived for his state visit to the UK, he was the brunt
The historical legacies of American presidents are always hard to assess during their time in office. With hindsight, presidents who were popular in office are subjected to a more jaundiced historical assessment. Richard Nixon was consistently popular until the last year of his presidency. Harry Truman’s popularity plunged to
Bill Clinton’s famous campaign slogan, “the economy, stupid”, reminded American voters that, when all was said and done, having a job and money in your pocket mattered more to the hoi polloi than any Washington political shenanigans. Voters may have solidly approved of George H W Bush’s handling
Both leaders signalled their virtues in the lead up to possible re-election in 2020. If you’ve watched Donald Trump in front of a crowd, he invariably describes those close to him as friends. He?s a friend of fellow politicians, colleagues, staff and other world leaders. Important people
