Among American politics, nothing pains me more right now than college students supporting the Palestinian desire to erase Israel. Further, this week those sentiments often came with approval of Hamas’s butchery a week ago. (After all, didn’t Israel bring it on itself?) Yet, as Bill Maher notes in the short video below, Palestine (and Hamas) […]

Labour is a big time election loser, but is not the only one. Labour will now have to re-build, while it has two strong competitors on its left – The Greens and The Maori Party. Given Labour’s natural position as a major party, this is much more difficult than it is for the niche parties.…

Libertarian reform isn’t at the top of the headlines in New Zealand, but there are a few things you might expect in that direction: – Reforming pharmaceutical approvals so products with approval in two other trusted peer countries get automatic approval in NZ. Relevant because of the relatively slow approval time for Covid-19 vaccine in […]

Last night, many of us responded to the statement of Leon Panetta, former CIA Director in the Obama Administration, that he “has no regrets” about signing the now infamous letter of 51 former intelligence officials suggesting that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. Even more unsettling were his comments that he believes it could […]

The only certainties attached to the wind and solar transition are being constantly whacked with crushing power bills and sitting freezing or boiling in the dark, when the sun sets and/or calm weather sets in. Whereas Europeans are crab-walking away from their mad rush towards wind and solar – with many tapping into next-generation nuclear power […]

Below is my column in the New York Post on issuance of superseding indictments for Sen. Bob Menendez, his wife, and associates to include new charges related to his alleged work as unregistered foreign agents. The new charges not only highlight the alleged corrupt practices of Sen. Menendez, but also the absence of such charges […]

Although if I were a Kiwi I’d probably be a member of the Labour Party, I have criticized them strongly for their education policy: a policy that has constantly tried to insinuate Māori “ways of knowing” (Mātauranga Māori ) into school science curricula (it’s fine if taught as history or sociology).

For now, it is tempting to agree with David Farrar (who confesses it is unlike him to write an article which can be summed up in the headline Why National should do […]

I gather that the National Party has run into some problems defending its tax proposals in the face of an unending attack not just from Labour but also our fair and balanced MSM. In light of that I put this post up as a suggestion as to how National might start to fight back, since […]

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism.

We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
