  1. NZ’s greensocialist “government”:
    ‘Policy-wise, the Coalition is clearly failing. KiwiBuild is a joke. Only with the most audacious creative accounting can Shane Jones pretend his billion trees programme is doing better.
    His Provincial Growth Fund (PGF) has so far paid out only $27 million, creating just 54 jobs, plus the 118 bureaucrats hired to administer it.’

    • It’s an absolute crying shame,often times it’s only the government “approval” that’s missing.Here even if a person is dirt poor and has no insurance,often it only takes a phone call from the patient’s doctor to the drug maker to get them treatment at little or no cost.If that fails then there are charities that pool resources to cover the costs.
      What really infuriates me is all the pie in the sky “green” horse shit that gets funded that is nothing more than corrupt backdoor deals to their cronies.I hate to think of how many people have lost their lives to cancer and other diseases for lack of treatment,while billions have been spent on planting trees and public “art” projects.
      I think we need to embrace the tactics of the left.Next time a new “public art” project is unveiled,it should be drenced in red paint to symbolize all the lives that could have been saved or at least prolonged if the money had been spent on something worthwhile like cancer treatments.

      • Yes, many drugs are not available in Britain after the “National Institute for Care & Clinical Excellence” has pronounced that they do not represent “good value for money”.

    • Hey KG, you and I know the real reason for this particular BS due to what it points to eh? “Hey, if the planet cooled due to a mere reduction of 50 million people, think of what….”

      • Just think what could be achieved is a virus specific to leftards became a pandemic.. :evil: Every million might be worth .1 of a degree……

    • I’m confused here. I thought the European colonists used to be accused of cutting down so much of the forest for clearing to make farmland that the native population died off because of the loss of game animals. Now you’re telling me the Native tribes had all that land in cultivation? How else do you explain the loss of extensive cultivated land to create a Little Ice Age in the 1600s when the Pilgrims arrived in 1606 (or thereabouts).

        • “I’m confused here. I thought the European colonists used to be accused of cutting down so much of the forest for clearing to make farmland that the native population died off because of the loss of game animals”

          That used to be one theory,but it was quickly shot down by people who have actually lived and worked in the woods.Game animals use the forest for shelter,but they need open ground for forage because the forest floor,in North America,especially before Europeans arrived, is a barren environment.Also it’s chiseled in stone fact that farmland=more wildlife not the otherway round.

          Before the Spainards arrived,the native population went everywhere on foot.As a result the various tribes had sporatic contact with each other and the cushion of time prevented the spread of much disease.After Horses that cushion was whittled away and they were off to the races disease wise.
          There is this romantic notion of the noble savage that persists,that somehow the native population was healthy and free of disease and malice before Europeans arrived.In reality,life was short and brutal with most dying before the age of 35 and most from the complications of abcessed teeth.
          Slavery,human sacrifice and cannibalism were all practiced by many tribes.There were almost constant border disputes,the few agrarian tribes were constanly being preyed upon by the hunter gatherers.
          The natives were human beings and like all other human beings,they lied,cheated,stole,double dealed and murdered with impunity.
          They didn’t not go extinct however,13-20% of the modern American population has some percentage of native DNA.My ancestors first set foot on this continent on my father’s side in 1635 and on my mother’s side 1699,I haven’t checked,but odds are I may have some DNA in my own,at least more than Lizzy Warren.

          History has a way of winnowing out the weak and the ill natured.The best parts of them live on,the rest are lost to history.I foget who said it,but-The Earth doesn’t mourn their passing and neither should we.

  2. The Moral Idiocy of Our Times-

    https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/272764/moral-idiocy-our-times-bruce-thornton

    “We haven’t progressed morally, we simply have become rich and comfortable. We can afford an empty sentimentalism about suffering, and think such conspicuous compassion is the same thing as moral judgment. But moral idiocy is unsustainable, particularly when it is enshrined in laws that diminish the intrinsic worth of human beings, and that sacrifice their well-being to ideology, cultural fashion, and political cults that choose which people deserve moral solicitude and which don’t. Politics then degenerates into raw power, and power becomes the slave of humanity’s worst passions and instincts. And that’s how civilizations die.”

    • yes, yes, YES! http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_good.gif

      from the same article:

      How about immigration? Well-heeled progressives who enjoy walled compounds and armed security, who interact with immigrants legal or illegal only as domestics or gardeners, whose children attend private schools or ritzy zip-code public schools, who agitate against immigration reforms and border security, or who preen morally about their city’s or state’s “sanctuary” policies that release felons and murderers back onto our streets, where their primary victims are other immigrants–– they are moral idiots.

      • Yeah. Get every green/Labour voter on to welfare, and they have a majority group of captive voters, ja?

        • It’s just the same with socialism everywhere,eventually there are just two classes.
          #1 The very rich
          #2 The very poor

          Guess which group they end up being?

          Remember:They always do the things they despise.They claim to hate the rich and “income inequality”,but yet they are the rich and everything they do is designed to enrich themselves and impoverish everyone else.

  5. The NZ Labour-led government has signalled that they are on the pathway to legalisation of cannabis use and, quite correctly, that they need to improve youth mental health services. NZ has heavy cannabis use by its youth. For some time I’ve been pointing out that there are mental health consequences to teen cannabis use as one published article after another confirms these links.

    In today’s Herald.

    “….there is growing evidence that regular or heavy use of cannabis may increase risks of: mental health problems, other forms of illicit drug use, dropping out of school and educational underachievement, and car crashes and injuries.”

    Is the Labour-led government going to do the right thing or are they going to keep on pandering to the youth voters? http://falfn.com/CrusaderRabbit/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_cool.gif

  6. I recently read somewhere that a poll showed an amazing number of Americans praying for President Trump. Well, it sure looks like they are working given the enormous amount of things he has achieved in his first two years in the face of constant opposition from large sections of the government, media and academia. In addition, the Left has become so obsessed with destroying him or at least making his presidency ineffective they have exposed their true agenda in a rush instead of the incremental strategy they have so long employed. Now this latest where the Senate Committee has concluded there is no evidence of collusion has destroyed one of the linchpins of the campaign against Trump.

    Honestly, at times it seems God is protecting Trump and causing his enemies to destroy themselves. Not that it is a bad thing.

  7. This is effing nuts!
    From Rantingly:
    DOJ Warns Trump That Border National Emergency Declaration Will Be Blocked By Courts…
    Trump: “I Think We Will Be Very Successful In Court”…
    https://rantingly.com/

    So, the President declares a National Emergency to build the border wall, and in practically the same breath concedes that the judges will decide the issue??
    This is farcical.
