UCLA Professor Hannah Appel has accused the school of human rights violations amounting to “torture” in the treatment of pro-Palestinian protesters. The reason is the denial of water and food from being brought into a building being unlawfully occupied by protesters, even though the students were free to leave at any time.

The Copenhagen Consensus think tank carried out this exercise and came up with 12 policies. A special issue…

Imagine an ACT MP posted something showing pistols and calling for revolution? It would lead every news story. View this post on…

I released my First Theorem of Government in 2015 and today I’m going to unveil the 17th iteration in the series. But I’ll confess upfront that I’m doing a bit of recycling. My latest Theorem is very similar to something I shared back in 2014. I decided to upgrade my 2014 column to a Theorem […]

Karen Chhour writes: But the legislation has had unintended consequences. We’ve seen what happens when an interpretation of Te Tiriti is placed above the needs of the child. In some cases, we have seen “reverse uplifts”, where a child is removed from a loving foster home to be placed with relatives deemed more culturally appropriate. […]

I sense very little data and science underpins their anti-natalism, but a great deal of ideology and manipulation. So how can we explain these scientists’ views, if we don’t believe that they emerge from science?

By Paul Homewood h/y Dennis Ambler From the NY Post: We endlessly hear the flawed assertion that because climate change is real, we should “follow the science” and end fossil fuel use. We hear this claim from politicians who favor swift carbon cuts, and from natural scientists themselves, as […]
