  What Will They Teach Us Next?
  
  Stephen Berry - January 17, 2020 9:15 am
  
  [...] Once you remove the emotive investment most of us have in education, an objective observer may refer to it as a product, much like a can of baked beans. [...] Either way, cans of baked beans don’t have a Ministry of 2900 bureaucrats earning $480 million each year determining what can and cannot be in a can of baked beans.

  The Child Molesters of the Mind Pervert More NZ Children
  
  Olivia Pierson - January 16, 2020 9:15 am
  
  [...] Because the subject matter causes so much anxiety and fear in young children (as indoctrinating them about an imminent human extinction will tend to do), the emotional side had to be addressed by the mind molesters, so encouraging children to become activists against the so-called climate change impact is designed to mitigate their anxieties.

  Bad Orange Man Cheats the Left Again – and Rewrites the Rulebook
  
  Lushington D. Brady - January 14, 2020 9:15 am
  
  [...] While the Trump-deranged left stopped short of actually demanding a war with Iran, it was plain that that’s what all their hysterical shrieking about “WWIII” was really about. They desperately, desperately want Trump to start another war. Because, so far, he has stubbornly refused to do other than what he promised: extricate America from endless war in the Middle East.

  Looking Down the Road
  
  Chris Trotter - January 13, 2020 9:15 am
  
  [...] Over the course of the next few weeks, New Zealanders will learn how much their freedom of expression is going to be curtailed by the Coalition Government. The Justice Minister, Andrew Little, will make known his Cabinet colleagues’ position on “hate speech” and to what degree it will soon be possible to claim that one’s culture and/or religion has been “defamed”, and to seek legal remedies for the “harm” inflicted.

  Has Morrison Screwed the PR Pooch?
  
  Lushington D. Brady - January 7, 2020 9:15 am
  
  [...] he now finds himself in the midst of a media firestorm due to a single, inexplicably boneheaded mistake. The question, then, is: how much is the media’s Morrison derangement reflected in the real world, and has Morrison irrevocably trashed his brand?
