German hydrogen train [image credit: Euractiv] No surprise there. What are these delusional climate worriers even talking about? If ‘the climate’ was human it wouldn’t give a hoot how Germans get around, but might be bemused to find itself corroding the minds of their leaders with their irrational obsession over ‘carbon emissions’ to the exclusion […]

Big claims and loose talk about the grand wind and solar energy ‘transition’ don’t make it so. And there is no shortage of either, with myth and mantra being the order of the day. Notwithstanding a staggering and rapid increase in the amount of money squandered on wind and solar, their relative contribution to world […]

Below is my column in the New York Post on the expanding scandal surrounding the Hunter Biden investigation. Even CNN legal analysts are now calling the handling of the investigation at the Justice Department an “unholy mess.” The responsibility for this theater of the absurd is Attorney General Merrick Garland who has again shown a […]

Bryce Edwards writes – Labour appears to be in something of an electoral death spiral. The four-point drop in last night’s 1News Verian poll to just 29 per cent – together with National’s bump up to 37 per cent – suggests that the gulf between the left and right blocs is now opening up, and […]

The fact that every country that’s increased reliance on wind and solar is suffering rocketing power prices is incontrovertible. And that simple relationship puts paid to the myth that wind and solar are cheaper than coal and gas, principally because it’s heavily subsidised wind and solar that are (occasionally) displacing coal and gas-fired power. When […]

Below is a slightly expanded version of my column in The Hill on the increasingly popular theory that former president Donald Trump is already barred from office under the 14th Amendment. It is a theory that, in my view, has a political appeal that outstrips its constitutional support. In a constitution designed to protect free […]

The World Chess Foundation has ruled that transgender women cannot compete in its competitions for women. The decision by FIDE, the Switzerland-based federation, is perplexing and disturbing. FIDE is setting a two-year period for review. Frankly, I do not understand why there are male and female competitions in chess where relative strength is not an […]

As the third poll in a row shows Labour slipping below 30%, and the gap between parties on the right and those on the left widening, the prospect of a change of government on October 14 has strengthened. This of course is a blow to those who believed the ascendancy of Chris Hipkins to the […]

LA’s crime problems are not as bad as those of San Francisco and Oakland, where the latest piece of irony is that officials have advised workers at the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building to work remotely if possible due to “public safety concerns”. But if LA is not doing as badly that’s likely only because it’s […]
