It’s common knowledge that the Ku Klux Klan was founded by Democrats, and their unholy alliance continued for over a century. But just to show how deep continuing Klan-Democrat ties ran, Bill Clinton launched his inaugural Presidential campaign at Stone Mountain – the founding-place and “the sacred site” for the
Roman poet Virgil warned us to “beware of Greeks bearing gifts”, but Greeks today might well warn everyone else to be wary of the EU bearing gifts. The British can also tell us a thing or two about Brussels’s overbearing arrogance. Australian farmers are justifiably concerned that they’re
Where do you think today’s photo was taken? Please put View From My Window in the subject line Yesterday’s view was of a Dam on the Arnold River that supplies the Arnold Power Station (3MW). NOTE: We prefer photos to be from a window with preferably part of
I often describe Tasmanian politics as a cross between a small-town Rotary Club and a special school. We make the shenanigans of the kidults in the Beehive look like the acme of cosmopolitan sophistication, by contrast. Worse, thanks to an electoral system every bit as arcane as New Zealand’s
Former Australian Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane is a veritable bloodhound when it comes to sniffing out racism wherever it doesn’t exist.

Another day, another lefty trans activist exposed as a creepy predator. “Jessica” (original name Jonathan) Yaniv is a porky Canadian bloke who looks like a bad Divine impersonator and is creepier than Jeffrey Dahmer and Bill Cosby driving a white van together past a primary school. Yaniv is a serial
When the elites are all singing from the same hymn sheet is precisely the time when ordinary folk should be turning their bullshit detectors right up to 11. “Conventional wisdom” was not coined as a positive description. Instead, as Mark Twain put it, “Whenever you find yourself on the side
Where do you think today’s photo was taken? Please put View From My Window in the subject line Yesterday’s view was of Bear Butte near Sturgis, South Dakota. NOTE: We prefer photos to be from a window with preferably part of the window in the shot. They do
I love free samples. Most people do. Yesterday both our children went to a Food Show. They didn’t buy any lunch because they didn’t need to. Every stall they went to was busy serving up delicious samples for them to eat and drink. Free cheese, free cooked meats,
A video from 2016 of then-private citizen Rashida Tlaib exploding at an economic speech of then-candidate Donald Trump resurfaced over the weekend and led to widespread mockery of the far-left Democratic lawmaker. The incident happened on August 8, 2016, as Trump outlined his economic policy in a speech at the
Sky News host Peta Credlin says with the likely appointment of Boris Johnson as Britain’s Prime Minister, ‘comes hope’. If you have a great Youtube or Vimeo video to share send it to videos@thebfd.co.nz
In many ways, swimmer Sun Yang might be the apt symbol of the rising China: brash, arrogant, muscling his way to the top; but also probably a cheat, one who bends the rules as he sees fit, and increasingly loathed by his peers. Sun has already been caught as a
