Jordan Peterson writes at National Post this update on his battle against censoring bureaucrats I will see this contemptible ‘re-education’ process through to its absurd end. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images. Having failed to persuade the Supreme Court, I am going to see what constraints are put on my speech, and […]

Writing about Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan in 2012, I opined that, “…it probably means nothing. I don’t think there’s been an election in my lifetime that was impacted by the second person on a presidential ticket.” I feel the same way about Tim Walz, who is Kamala Harris’ pick for Vice President. But […]

Electric Vehicles running on wind and solar power captured and stored in lithium-ion batteries is all part of the grand ‘transition’, or so we’re told.

Despite the influx of more public service employees and contractors in recent years, central Wellington is struggling. Many long-term Wellington residents, […]

We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
