There is a stark difference between Jacinda Ardern refusing to be interviewed by NewstalkZB’s Mike Hosking, and Judith Collins deciding to pull out of interviews with Radio NZ (Susie Ferguson) and Newshub (Tova O’Brien). In the case of Ardern she is the Prime Minister, not the leader of the opposition. She therefore has to be […]
Whereas they may provide occasional token disagreement with the Labour govt for the purposes of propriety, the New Zealand mainstream media is umbilically connected to the ideology of the left. Especially that part that encompasses Marxist progressivism, or the idea of the new society, and this connection permeates every news item they produce. Not happy […]
Dear friends, I would like to apologise to all of the subscribers, followers and readers of this blog for my unexplained absence. Sorry. I should have at least had the decency to offer you an explanation. (TBH, I never expected the number of messages on the issue). Why was I absent? I just needed a […]
Very good.
Trump is showing them all up and it is enjoyable to watch.
I don’t think however he represents “change” just as Obomber didn’t. If he truly did, then the MSM would ignore home like they ignored Ron Paul. Trump craves publicity and they give it to him.
Farrar was actually correct when he noted that Trump changes his tune like the wind.

Yes, but it appears Trump has formed an alliance with a few Constitutionalists who are giving him the direction he lacked.

I am very reluctant to allow myself to become a supporter as I would expect to be highly disappointed at some later stage, but so far he’s going OK.
Under Cruz’s guidance he could learn a lot. Its a long way to go of course but it looks to me as there may be a move to form a Trump Cruz alliance with Trump as President and Cruz as VP.
That’s a long shot and I would actually far prefer if Cruz could get up on his own.

Good thing is Trump is calling out some of what needs to be, and providing a rallying cry for those who are fed up with the status quo. If nothing else he may mobilise those who previously felt overwhelmed by the critical theorists who lately have been so successful at silencing those who have had the audacity to voice racist, feminist or bigoted thoughts.

A good read on Trump, and detailing why his history makes it difficult to accept him as any kind of Conservative today.
